Working with Knockout is simple. Our six-step, end-to-end process keeps timelines clear, decisions documented, and production risk under control. You stay in the loop on every milestone, we own the follow-ups, details, and checkpoints that make packaging run smoothly. Explore each step below.
Align on goals, constraints, and what “success” looks like.
We start by getting clarity fast, so the project can move with fewer surprises later.
Discovery call to understand your product, launch timing, channels, and priorities
Scope, budget, and timeline alignment
Review of existing packaging (if applicable) and what needs to improve
Risks identified early (lead times, materials, compliance, durability, freight)
Build packaging that looks right and works in production.
Design is where speed-to-shelf is won or lost. We make sure your packaging is manufacturable, durable, and on-brand.
Structural direction and format recommendations
3D mock-ups and dielines as needed
Graphics coordination with your team or ours
Prototypes and fit checks for real-world performance
Print-ready proofing and final spec confirmation
Match your specs to the right suppliers, pricing, and lead times.
Sourcing is not just finding a factory. It’s building a reliable path to quality and on-time delivery.
Supplier selection based on capability, lead time, and risk profile
Quoting and option comparisons (materials, finishes, quantities)
Feasibility checks before approvals
Cost and timeline trade-off guidance
Dual-source options when timing or risk requires it
Protect your brand with checkpoints before, during, and after production.
We build QC into the process, not as an afterthought.
Spec lock and pre-production review
Sample approvals and colour/finish expectations
Quality checkpoints aligned to your risk level
Issue escalation and corrective actions if anything drifts
Packaging durability considerations for handling and freight
Manage production like a system, with visibility and ownership.
Once approved, we run the production workflow and keep it moving.
Production scheduling and milestone tracking
Vendor follow-ups and progress reporting
Coordination across print, assembly, inserts, and pack-outs
Final inspection coordination where required
Readiness checks for shipment and receiving
Get it where it needs to go, without last-minute chaos.
We coordinate the final leg so you can focus on launch, replenishment, and growth.
Shipping coordination and delivery planning
Warehouse and receiving requirements confirmed in advance
Timeline updates through arrival
Support for multi-location deliveries if needed
Post-delivery follow-up for repeat orders and next runs
