Too many packaging decisions
You've got the product and the vision - but bottles, materials, MOQs, suppliers, finishes and manufacturing decisions are piling up.
No clear system
Every product gets solved from scratch.
Stuck before production
The concept looks good, but nobody knows how to actually make it.
A concept nobody knows how to make
The visual direction is clear. The route from mockup to viable component, supplier and production file isn't.

Good packaging is never just a design challenge
I’ve always liked the part of packaging where creative ideas meet reality. Not just what should this look like, but can we actually make it, with who, and at what cost?
That’s how BICE ended up becoming more than a design studio - I built it around solving that whole messy middle.

The Good Packaging Framework
Who you'll work with
Who you'll work with
Hi, I’m Maria - founder of BICE and a packaging engineer turned creative director.
I’ve spent 7+ years across packaging, NPD and design, including Procter & Gamble, JTI and creative roles for consumer brands.
I started BICE because over the years, I learned how complex getting packaging right actually is. Connecting the dots together: creative vision, technical limitations and commercial reality is the puzzle I love solving over and over.

Own the project
Portfolio cleanup, retail expansion, new range or packaging reset?
We take it from planning and creative vision through production-ready files.
Join your team
Too many launches, SKUs or packaging tasks for the team to absorb?
We plug into Brand, Marketing or NPD and keep things moving.
Support your clients
Your clients need packaging help beyond formulation or development?
We step in behind the scenes, or directly with them.

BICE owns the packaging process: the direction, decisions, development, supplier conversations and the route to production-ready files.
The right specialists still own their expertise: your formulator owns the formula, your regulatory team owns compliance, your manufacturer owns production and quality.

Growing beauty, wellness and consumer brands — from teams launching a new range to established businesses managing larger, more complicated portfolios. We also work with labs, formulators, OEMs and agencies that need packaging support for their clients.
Both. We can build a new brand and packaging system from scratch, or step into an existing portfolio to clean up, redesign and organise what is already there.
As far as you need us to. BICE can support strategy, design, SKU planning, production artwork, supplier handoff, proofs and production questions — not just the initial concept.
No. A short overview of the products, current situation and what is coming up is enough to start. We can work out what information or files are still missing from there.
Yes. We regularly plug into Brand, Marketing, NPD and Operations teams and work with existing manufacturers, printers and packaging suppliers.
