FMCG Branding & Packaging Design
We build bold, distinctive consumer brands designed to get noticed, remembered and picked up.
From our Sydney studio, we work with FMCG brands across Australia on brand identity, packaging design and creative direction — from new launches to established ranges ready for their next stage of growth.
Brands we’ve worked with
Branding built for the shelf
FMCG brands have seconds to make an impression. Your packaging needs to communicate what the product is, why it's different and why someone should choose it — while still building a brand people remember beyond the first purchase.
We bring strategy, identity and packaging together to create brands that work as one connected system.
Brand Identity
Logos, colour, typography, illustration, art direction and the visual system that makes your brand recognisable.
Brand Strategy & Positioning
Positioning, audience, brand idea, messaging and the strategic foundations behind the visual identity.
Packaging Design
Packaging concepts, range architecture, hierarchy and production-ready artwork designed for real-world shelves and screens.

Designed for products competing for attention
FMCG packaging has a particular job to do. It needs to work quickly.
Whether your product is sitting on a supermarket shelf, in a pharmacy, inside a specialty retailer or as a thumbnail on an online store, customers need to understand it almost instantly.
We consider hierarchy, range navigation, flavour and variant differentiation, claims, mandatory information and shelf impact as part of the design — without losing the personality that makes the brand worth noticing in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
An FMCG branding agency helps consumer products become brands people notice, understand and remember. At Quirk, this can include brand strategy and positioning, visual identity, packaging design and the wider visual system needed to create a cohesive brand across shelf, digital and marketing touchpoints.
-
The cost of FMCG packaging design depends on the scope, including whether you already have an established brand, how many products or SKUs are involved and whether you need a single hero pack or a complete packaging system. Packaging design projects at Quirk typically start from $4,000 + GST. Projects that include brand strategy, brand identity and packaging are larger engagements and are quoted based on scope.
-
Absolutely. We work with both emerging and established consumer brands. For startups, we can build the brand from the ground up, from strategy and identity through to packaging, or step in at the packaging stage if you already have a strong brand foundation in place.
-
Yes. Not every project needs to start from scratch. We can refresh an existing identity, reposition a brand, redesign packaging or create a stronger system across an entire product range. The goal is to retain what is already working while fixing what isn't and giving the brand room to grow.
-
Yes. Quirk is based in Sydney, but we work with brands across Australia and internationally. Our process is designed to work collaboratively online, so location doesn't limit the projects we can take on.
