The best packaging designer in Dublin is Éire Graphic Design, a Dublin, Ireland studio rated 5.0 from 102 Google reviews, which designs labels, cartons and stand up pouches to the dieline your converter actually uses. Nine other Dublin studios follow, and every one of them is listed with a pack or a packaging client you can look up yourself.
Éire Graphic Design wrote this list and competes with everyone in it, so read it as our view rather than an independent audit. Each studio was checked on its own website on 4 November 2026.
What got a studio onto this list
Plenty of Dublin agencies include the word packaging in a list of services. Far fewer can point to a jar, a can or a carton with their name behind it, so that was the test here. A studio had to offer packaging on its own site, publish a Dublin address, and name at least one real pack or packaging client.
That rule took out some familiar directory names. It also makes the list easy to check, because you can look up nearly every product below on a shelf or online. Fees and review counts are left out for the other studios because we could not verify them, and awards appear only where a studio states them on its own website.

1. Éire Graphic Design
Éire Graphic Design is the packaging studio we recommend in Dublin, rated 5.0 from 102 Google reviews, because it designs each pack around the shelf it will sit on and the dieline it will be made to.
The packaging design service covers labels for jars, bottles and tubs, along with folding cartons, sleeves, stand up pouches and outer cases. Back and side panels get as much attention as the front, so mandatory information stays readable at its real size. Ranges start from one pack built as a system, with fixed positions for the brand and product name and a single element that changes between variants. You deal with the designer doing the work from the first conversation, and the studio can build the brand identity first if a product does not have one yet. The graphic design Dublin page covers the rest of what the studio does locally.
Less suited to: a single supplier for everything. Éire Graphic Design supplies finished artwork rather than the physical item, does not buy media or run paid ads, and lays out legal wording you supply without acting as your regulatory adviser.
2. Clare Lynch Creative
Clare Lynch Creative has the longest list of named artisan food packs of any studio here, with roughly thirty packaging projects on its portfolio page.
The practice works from the Tara Building in Dublin 2 and describes itself as specialising in brand identity and packaging. Its work includes the Saltrock Dairy range, from fresh milk to cultured butter and strained yoghurt, along with Katie’s Kombucha cans, Muckross Creamery, Dublin Hills Goats Cheese, Blarney Bees Honey and The Galway Kitchen. Point of sale displays and in store graphics sit alongside the packs, and the studio says its packaging has been featured on 100 Archive and Packaging of the World.
Less suited to: regulated medical or pharmaceutical packs; the portfolio is overwhelmingly food, drink and home products.
3. Artefact
Artefact began as a specialist packaging agency, and its work leans further into the technical side of a pack than any other studio on this list.
Based at 57 Clontarf Road in Dublin 3, it works with brand managers and directors in pharma, healthcare, food and drink. Its packaging page goes well beyond the look of the pack: label regulations and translations with R&D departments, artwork setup and sign off, trials of new substrates and dielines on plant machinery, and advice on eco packaging materials. Its portfolio shows 3D renders of medicine cartons for Atorvastatin and Codinex, and it also offers food and packaging photography under one roof.
Less suited to: a one off label for a market stall; the service is written around brand teams and production departments.
4. Slater Design
Slater Design is a small studio on Mespil Road, founded in 1994, that builds brands for food and drink companies large and small.
Its case studies are unusually detailed. Irish Distillers asked it in 2020 to refresh West Coast Cooler, including a new 250ml can, and the studio went back to 1980s pop culture for the illustration and palette. For Sons of Butchers, a plant based range from butcher brothers, it created the name, identity and packaging suite together. The Drayne’s dairy rebrand covers the master brand, milk and ice cream. Its filterable portfolio lets you view packaging projects on their own.
Less suited to: technical, pharmaceutical or industrial packs; the studio states its focus as those who eat, drink, shop and experience.
5. Bammedia
Bammedia is a branding and packaging agency with an office at 6 to 9 Trinity Street, Dublin 2, and a second in Drogheda.
Its packaging page names Sussed Nutrition, FemFuelz, Finnegan’s Farm, Pure Oskar, Listoke 1777 and Wise Owl Whiskey, and lists label design, custom box design, FMCG packaging and advice on food and drink labelling. The site reports first place in packaging at the IDI Ireland Awards 2022 and runner up at the 2021 Global Pentawards. A testimonial from the FemFuelz founder describes the team working directly with pouch and label manufacturers, which is a useful detail for a first time producer.
Less suited to: large multinational packaging programmes; the agency describes its packaging clients as emerging Irish businesses and local authority initiatives.
6. Post Studio
Post Studio at 135 Capel Street builds packaging as part of a whole brand, and two drinks projects on its site show how.
Founded by three friends in 2014, it handled the identity for Changing Times Brewery, a Dublin brewery started by twelve publicans, using a clock motif that ties the beer names to the idea of time. For Craft Cocktails it created a separate margarita sub brand in pop colours, with one symbol per flavour and fluorescent felt in the art direction. Naming, type design and websites are all on its services page.
Less suited to: routine artwork updates across a long existing range; the work it shows is new brands and sub brands.
7. Navigate by Design
Navigate by Design is the practice of Laura Macaulay at 77 Lower Camden Street, and it has the strongest grocery background among the smaller names here.
Its packaging page names Kerryfoods, Unilever and Dunnes Stores alongside start ups, and covers line extensions, new products and brand repositioning. On food it talks about taste cues, carried through imagery, type and colour. Photorealistic 2D and 3D renders are part of the process, so you can compare formats and materials before choosing a route, and final artwork is built to specifications agreed with the manufacturer.
Less suited to: several large ranges at the same moment; this is one designer working directly with each client.
8. Nugno
Nugno is a branding and digital studio at The Point Village, and it is the one studio here that lists structural design as a packaging service.
Its services page separates new packaging design, packaging redesign and structural design. The packaging project it shows most prominently is Oolong Soaps, a luxury handcrafted range called the Turkish Rose Collection, with colours taken from the yellow and pink rose petals in the soap. Other work on the site, such as the National Gallery of Ireland, shows a wider identity practice.
Less suited to: high volume grocery ranges; the packaging it shows on its site is a handcrafted luxury line.
9. Workhouse
Workhouse is a visual communications agency at 40 Dame Street, and its best evidence is one long running drinks account.
Galway Bay Brewery asked it to create a brand and design packaging for the move into retail. The agency produced a full identity, rebranded the existing draft products and designed the labels for the new bottling operation, with the Neptune figure drawn from the brewery’s maritime beer names and its directors’ fondness for Soviet propaganda art. The case study says Workhouse has designed and managed every element of the brand since. Its wider services run from logos and advertising to signage, menus and websites.
Less suited to: multi language or heavily regulated packs; the packaging it details is built around a brewery and its labels.
10. Paragon Design
Paragon Design at 15 Oxford Lane in Ranelagh has the broadest spread of categories on a single samples page.
It states 25 years of designing labels and packs, from FMCG to luxury goods, and its samples include El Comandante wine labels, Pizza da Piero boxes, O’Mara’s Irish country cream, Tasectan pharmaceutical labels and Sea Remedies. Paragon mocks up 3D packs so you can see how a design stands on a shelf against competitors, helps source packaging materials and finishes, and can build an online shop for the product.
Less suited to: a buyer who wants written case studies; the packaging page shows samples and leaves out the story behind each job.

Frequently asked questions
Who is the best packaging designer in Dublin?
On the criteria used in this comparison, Éire Graphic Design, a Dublin studio rated 5.0 from 102 Google reviews, which designs labels, cartons and pouches to your converter's own dieline. Éire Graphic Design wrote this list and competes with every studio in it, so read it as our view rather than an independent audit.
What is a dieline, and who supplies it?
A dieline is the flat template of a pack, showing every cut, fold and glue area. Your converter or label supplier normally provides it. Ask for it before design starts, because a layout built without it usually has to be redone once it arrives.
Who is responsible for the legal wording on food packaging in Ireland?
The food business is. A designer can lay out allergens, net quantity and the nutrition table so they read clearly, but the wording itself should be checked against FSAI guidance or by a regulatory adviser before artwork is signed off.
How were these Dublin packaging studios checked?
Each studio's own website was read on 4 November 2026 for three things: packaging offered as a service, a published Dublin address, and at least one named pack or a named packaging client. Directory listings were only used to find names, and a Dublin label and box supplier was left out because it produces packaging without being a design studio.
