Graphic design, packaging and print.

Where can you get graphic design, packaging and print work done properly? Foxz Creative is a Denver design studio, founded in 1999, that handles custom graphic design, package design and prototyping, design for print, marketing collateral, illustration and iconography, and social media content. You can hire us for a single project or keep us on an ongoing basis, and the same in-house team does the work either way.

Design that has to work in the real world

Graphic design is where a brand meets physical reality. A logo that looks perfect on a screen has to survive a corrugated box, a two-colour print run, a billboard and a profile picture the size of a thumbnail. A brochure has to be read by someone who will give it ten seconds. A package has to be chosen off a shelf by someone who has never heard of you. The craft is in making the design hold up under all of those conditions, not just in the mockup.

What we design

• Package design and prototyping. Structure and graphics together, so the box, bag or label works as an object and not only as artwork. Prototypes let you hold the design before you commit to a print run.
• Design for print. Brochures, catalogs, posters, signage and anything else that goes to a printer, prepared to the printer's specification so it comes back the way it looked on screen.
• Marketing collateral. Sales decks, one-pagers, proposals and trade show material that help a sales team close.
• Illustration and iconography. Custom drawn work, from icon sets that make an interface clearer to illustration that gives a brand its own visual voice.
• Social media content and management. Templates and posts that keep a brand recognisable at the speed social moves.
• Custom graphic design. Everything else: event graphics, environmental design, merchandise, reports.

Why packaging gets its own conversation

Packaging is the most unforgiving design work we do, because it is the one place where a design mistake is manufactured thousands of times. It has to satisfy a dieline, a material, a printing process, shelf and shipping conditions, and often regulatory copy, while still being the thing that makes someone reach for it. We have designed in categories where the rules are strict, including the North American cannabis industry, where compliance requirements shape every panel. That experience is why we prototype: a physical sample catches the problems a flat proof hides.

Project or ongoing

Some clients come to us for a single piece: a package line, a catalog, an annual report. Others need a steady flow of design and would rather not brief a new freelancer every time. For them we offer a monthly retainer with dedicated design hours, priority scheduling and a team that already knows the brand. We explain what a retainer covers, and when it makes sense, in what does a monthly creative retainer include?

If you are an agency or a freelancer who needs this capacity behind your own brand, we do that too. See our agency and freelancer partner programme and our explainer on what white-label design actually means.

It starts with the brand

Good graphic design is consistent graphic design. When a business has a clear identity and guidelines, every piece we design for it reinforces the last. When it does not, every piece starts from zero and the brand drifts. If your materials look like they came from five different companies, the fix is usually upstream, in the brand identity, and we will say so rather than keep designing around it.

Who does the work

Foxz Creative has designed for Southwest Airlines, Pepsi, Harrah's Las Vegas, the NFL, the United Nations, General Electric and multiple National Forests, as well as hundreds of small businesses, startups and nonprofits. The team is entirely in-house, based in Denver with team members in France and a satellite office in Tirana, Albania. We never subcontract, so the designer you brief is the designer who delivers.
