Your product is premium. Its packaging should be, too. Gavi specializes in strategic packaging design for Sri Lankan brands, focusing on the unique needs of Tea, Spices, Food, and Beauty for both local and export markets. We don't just make packages we design your brand's biggest selling asset.
Why Invest in Professional Packaging?
A small investment in professional packaging delivers the highest return on investment (ROI) in your entire marketing budget.
It drives Shelf Standout, creates Brand Loyalty, and delivers a Higher Perceived Value, allowing you to command a better price.
Critical Packaging Elements for Market Success.
Great packaging is a science. These elements ensure your brand doesn’t just look good, but performs.
The global market is rapidly moving toward eco-friendly materials. We help you use recyclable, compostable, or biodegradable options and clearly communicate this to consumers, instantly elevating your brand’s perceived value and global appeal.
Colors evoke powerful, often subconscious, buying decisions. In the Sri Lankan context:
Red & Orange: are often linked to excitement, appetite, and energy excellent.
Gold & Deep Purple: consistently signify luxury, quality, and heritage.
Green & Earth Tones: are essential for conveying “Natural,” “Organic,” and “Ayurvedic” purity.
We take the stress out of compliance. For food and beverage, your package must include:
The Common Name of the food in bold type, ideally in at least two or all three national languages (English, Sinhala, Tamil).
Net Content (g, kg, ml, or l) in SI units.
Full Ingredient List (in descending order of weight).
Date of Manufacture & Expiry (DD/MM/YY format).
Batch Number, Name and address of the manufacturer/packer, and SLS or other relevant certifications where applicable.
The Brand-First Approach to Packaging Design in Sri Lanka.
In a crowded market, your packaging is your silent salesperson. Our approach ensures it communicates value instantly, building a brand that customers choose and stick with.
Brand-First Philosophy
We begin by defining your brand’s core story. We turn a simple product into a market-leading brand by designing packaging that evokes the right emotion, justifies a premium price point, and builds strong customer loyalty.
The Gavi Difference
Why trust a local specialist? We combine global design trends with a deep understanding of Sri Lankan consumer psychology. We know that local shoppers focus on factors like family trust and authenticity. For export, we seamlessly blend cultural heritage with international compliance, ensuring your Ceylon Tea or spices stand out globally while meeting regulatory standards.
SEO & Design Synergy
Professional packaging provides high-quality imagery, clear text legibility, and visual consistency, which directly improves your product listing’s performance on e-commerce platforms and social media.
The Gavi 5-Step Packaging Design Process.
Transparency builds trust. Our efficient process ensures we get the design right the first time.
01. Brand Strategy & Research (The Foundation):
We define your target customer, analyze competitors on the local and international shelf, and establish your core message and price point.
02. Structural Design & Dieline Development:
We move beyond the flat label to the physical structure. This involves material selection (glass, plastic, paper, metal), determining the correct size.
03. Graphic Design & Visual Identity:
This is where the magic happens creating the artwork, selecting the perfect typography, and developing a color palette that triggers the right emotion (e.g., Purple for luxury, Green for natural).
04. Prototyping & Compliance Check:
We provide realistic 3D mockups and print-proofs. Crucially, we conduct a mandatory labeling review to check nutritional panels, SLS marks, and legal disclaimers before going to print.
05. Final Production & Launch Support:
We deliver print-ready, high-resolution files and can manage the print production process, acting as your quality assurance partner to ensure the final physical package matches the approved design perfectly.

How long does the packaging design process take?
Typically, a full packaging design project (from strategy to final print-ready files) takes between 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the complexity.
What is the average cost of packaging design in Sri Lanka?
The cost varies significantly based on the scope. Need for new structural design, and if photography is included. We provide a custom, fixed-price quote after our initial consultation to ensure transparency.
Do you handle the dieline and print production management?
Yes, absolutely. We specialize in structural dieline development (the template for the box/pouch) and offer full print production support, including finding reliable local or international printers and conducting quality checks on the final product.
What are the mandatory labeling requirements for food products in Sri Lanka?
The key mandatory requirements under the 2022 Food Regulations include: the common name in bold (in two or three languages), net contents, ingredient list in descending order, full name/address of the manufacturer, and the dates of manufacture and expiry. We ensure your design is 100% compliant.
Can you redesign my existing packaging to be more sustainable?
Yes. We frequently help established brands conduct a “Sustainability Audit” on their existing packaging, recommending changes to materials (e.g., switching from multi-layer plastic to monomaterial or recyclable paperboard) without compromising protection or shelf appeal.
