Packaging Design

Packaging Design

Design compelling product packaging and label art using each::sense — the intelligent AI agent that automatically selects the best model for your request.

Quick Start

Requires an each::labs API key. Get one at eachlabs.ai.

Using curl

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Design a premium coffee bag packaging illustration. A detailed mountain landscape at sunrise with coffee plants in the foreground, hand-drawn engraving style, rich brown and copper ink tones on cream background, vintage artisanal aesthetic, suitable for wrapping around a 12oz bag."
      }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Using Python (OpenAI SDK)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_EACHLABS_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="eachsense/beta",
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Design a premium coffee bag packaging illustration. A detailed mountain landscape at sunrise with coffee plants in the foreground, hand-drawn engraving style, rich brown and copper ink tones on cream background, vintage artisanal aesthetic, suitable for wrapping around a 12oz bag."
    }]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

With Reference Image

Provide existing packaging or brand assets for consistency:

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Design new packaging art that extends this brand's visual language. Match the illustration style and color palette, but create a new variation featuring different botanical elements for a new product line. Suitable for a rectangular box panel."},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/existing-packaging.jpg"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Images are sent inside messages using the OpenAI multimodal content format. Maximum 4 images per request.

Streaming

Set "stream": true for real-time SSE responses, or "stream": false for complete result in a single response. Streaming is useful for showing progress in UIs; non-streaming is simpler for scripts and automation.

Packaging Categories

Prompt Engineering Tips

Keywords That Work

packaging illustration, product label art, premium surface design,
artisanal hand-drawn, botanical illustration, pattern tile, wrap-around art,
shelf-ready design, brand-consistent, high detail illustration, print-ready

Keywords to Avoid

product name and text — add typography in design software
3D mockup rendering — generate flat art, mockup separately
blurry or soft backgrounds — packaging needs crisp detail
generic clip art style — packaging must feel unique and premium

Prompt Structure

packaging [art/illustration/pattern] for [product type], [visual subject], [artistic style], [color palette], [mood/brand feel], suitable for [packaging format]

      }
    ],

Tea Tin Design

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Create packaging illustration for a Japanese green tea tin. Serene mountain landscape with terraced tea fields, traditional Japanese woodblock print style, limited palette of indigo blue and matcha green on off-white, tranquil and authentic, wrap-around illustration for a cylindrical tin."
      }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Packaging Design Considerations

• Wrap-around artwork — design with edges that can seamlessly connect
• Color consistency — specify exact colors; CMYK printing may shift tones
• Scalability — the art should look good on both small labels and large boxes
• Shelf impact — packaging competes with dozens of products at eye level
• Die-cut awareness — consider how the flat art maps onto the 3D package
• Regulatory space — leave areas for nutrition facts, barcodes, and legal text

Workflow

# Step 1: Generate the primary packaging illustration
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Packaging illustration for an organic honey jar label. A detailed illustration of a beehive in a wildflower meadow, golden hour lighting, hand-drawn botanical illustration style, warm honey gold and soft green palette, circular composition suitable for a round label."
      }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

# Step 2: Create a matching pattern for the gift box
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Packaging illustration for an organic honey jar label. A detailed illustration of a beehive in a wildflower meadow, golden hour lighting, hand-drawn botanical illustration style, warm honey gold and soft green palette, circular composition suitable for a round label."
      },
      {
        "role": "assistant",
        "content": "..."
      },
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Now create a repeating pattern using the wildflower and bee elements from this illustration. Same color palette and hand-drawn style, but as a seamless tile pattern suitable for wrapping a gift box. Smaller scale, more abstract."
