Frequently Asked Questions | Haris Designers

Question 1

Are you a freelancer or an agency?

Accepted Answer

Haris Designers is a focused, senior-heavy studio led by Haris — a professional graphic designer with 7+ years of experience and 3,000+ projects completed — backed by a small team of 8 specialists across packaging, branding, UI/UX, print production, and client success. You always have direct access to the people actually working on your project, not a rotating pool of anonymous freelancers.

Question 2

What design disciplines do you specialise in?

Accepted Answer

We specialise in six core disciplines: packaging design, label design, brand identity & logo design, UI/UX & web design, print design (brochures, catalogues, flyers), and eCommerce design (Amazon A+, Shopify, Etsy). This covers the full design lifecycle from concept to print-ready delivery.

Question 3

What industries have you worked with?

Accepted Answer

We have extensive experience in food & beverage, cosmetics & skincare, CBD & hemp, supplements & nutraceuticals, electronics, luxury goods, pet products, household products, SaaS, and eCommerce brands. Each industry brings specific regulatory and aesthetic requirements we navigate confidently.

Question 4

What countries do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We work with clients worldwide. Our primary markets include the USA, UK, Pakistan, Switzerland, Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Germany, UAE, and Saudi Arabia — but we serve brands in over 190 countries. All communication is in English and all pricing is in USD by default.

Question 5

What design tools do you use?

Accepted Answer

Our primary tools are Adobe Illustrator (vector & packaging), Adobe Photoshop (image editing & retouching), Adobe InDesign (layouts & print), and Figma (UI/UX & web). All packaging and label work is produced to professional print specifications in the correct colour space.

Question 6

How does the design process work?

Accepted Answer

Our process has four stages: (1) Discovery Brief — you share your project goals, references, and requirements via our intake form or email. (2) Research & Concept — we research your market and competitors, then develop initial design concepts. (3) Revisions — we refine the selected concept through revision rounds until the design is perfect. (4) Delivery — final print-ready files are delivered in all required formats.

Question 7

How long does a project take?

Accepted Answer

Timelines depend on project complexity. A label or logo design typically takes 3–5 business days for the first draft. A full packaging system takes 5–8 business days. A complete brand identity takes 8–12 business days. Rush delivery is available — ask us before booking.

Question 8

How many revision rounds are included?

Accepted Answer

All standard packages include 3 revision rounds. Our Growth and Premium packages include unlimited revisions until you are completely satisfied. Additional revision rounds are available at a flat rate if you exceed your package allowance.

Question 9

Do I need to prepare a brief?

Accepted Answer

A brief is helpful but not required. We provide a structured intake questionnaire that walks you through the key information we need — product details, target audience, brand values, competitors, and design preferences. For complex projects, a discovery call is available before we begin.

Question 10

Can I see concepts before committing to a full project?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For larger projects, we offer a paid concept-only phase where we develop 2–3 initial directions for you to review before proceeding. This is ideal for complex brand identity or multi-SKU packaging system projects.

Question 11

How much does packaging design cost?

Accepted Answer

Our pricing depends on project scope. Single-asset projects (e.g., one label, one box) start from $150–$500. Complete packaging systems (e.g., full product range, multi-SKU) start from $500–$1,500. Full brand builds (packaging + identity + print + digital) start from $1,500+. We provide a fixed project quote before starting — no hourly surprises.

Question 12

Do you charge by the hour or by project?

Accepted Answer

We always charge a fixed project fee agreed in advance. You know the exact cost before we start work. This model aligns incentives — you get focused, efficient work without watching the clock.

Question 13

What currencies do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Our standard pricing is in USD. We also accept GBP, EUR, PKR, CHF, CAD, and AUD. Equivalent pricing in your local currency is available on request.

Question 14

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept bank transfer (SWIFT/IBAN), PayPal, and Wise. For new clients, a 50% deposit is required before work begins, with the balance due before final file delivery.

Question 15

Do you offer bundle or retainer pricing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you have multiple projects or an ongoing need for design support, we offer bundle pricing at a discounted rate and monthly retainer arrangements. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Question 16

What file formats will I receive?

Accepted Answer

For packaging and label design: print-ready PDF (with bleed, crop marks, and embedded fonts), editable AI/EPS source files, and PNG preview files. For logo and brand identity: AI, EPS, PDF (vector), PNG and SVG (for web), and JPEG. For UI/UX: Figma source files plus exported assets in PNG, SVG, and WebP formats.

Question 17

Are the delivered files truly print-ready?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every packaging and label file includes correct bleed (typically 3mm/0.125in), crop and trim marks, embedded fonts, and the correct colour profile (CMYK for offset/flexo, RGB/Hex for digital files). We specify all Pantone and CMYK values and confirm colour setup for your chosen print method before delivery.

Question 18

Will I own the full rights to the designs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upon final payment, full intellectual property and usage rights transfer to you. You own the designs outright and may use them commercially without restriction, in any territory, for any duration.

Question 19

Do you provide 3D mockups?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All packaging projects include photo-realistic 3D mockups for client approval and marketing use. These are delivered alongside the flat print-ready files.

Question 20

How are files delivered?

Accepted Answer

Files are delivered via a WeTransfer or Google Drive link. Large projects are shared as organised folder structures with clearly labelled files for each deliverable. We archive projects for 12 months so you can request re-downloads if needed.

Question 21

Do you create dielines from scratch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We create structural dielines from scratch based on your dimensions, or we can work from a supplier-provided template. All dielines are produced in Adobe Illustrator with precise measurements to ensure correct fitment.

Question 22

Can you design for specific print methods?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work with all major print methods — digital printing, flexographic printing, offset lithography, gravure, and screen printing. We tailor colour profiles, line weights, and minimum detail specifications to your chosen print method and substrate.

Question 23

Do you design for Pantone colours?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We work with both Pantone (PMS) and CMYK colour systems and advise which is best suited to your print method and budget. For brand identity projects, we always establish both the Pantone and CMYK values as part of the brand guidelines.

Question 24

Can you handle CBD, supplement, and regulated product packaging?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are thoroughly familiar with FDA dietary supplement labeling requirements (USA), UK FSA compliance, EU Novel Food regulations, and Health Canada rules. We ensure all mandatory text blocks, disclaimer panels, nutrition facts, and ingredient lists are correctly placed and sized.

Question 25

Can you redesign existing packaging?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Brand refreshes and packaging redesigns are a major part of our work. We can evolve an existing identity to feel more premium or contemporary, or conduct a complete redesign while retaining brand recognition elements you wish to keep.

Question 26

What label types do you design?

Accepted Answer

We design all label types: bottle and jar labels, shrink sleeves, roll-fed labels, pressure-sensitive labels, wrap-around labels, neck labels, and tax strips. We work with rectangle, oval, circle, and custom die-cut shapes.

Question 27

Do you design FDA-compliant nutrition facts panels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We design compliant FDA Nutrition Facts panels following the updated 2020 FDA labeling rules, including serving size, daily values, and all required nutrients. We also design UK/EU-format nutrition tables and ingredient declaration panels.

Question 28

Can you design multi-panel and wrap-around labels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly design full wrap-around labels, front/back panel sets, and coordinated multi-panel label systems (front, back, neck, and cap labels). These are delivered as separate print-ready files clearly labelled for your printer.
