Packaging design is the discipline of making a product sell, and keep selling, on a shelf it shares with competitors it did not choose. It covers structure, graphics, copy hierarchy, material and the unboxing sequence, and it answers to two audiences at once: the shopper deciding at a glance and the retailer deciding whether to stock it. TARNOVSKI designs packaging from the brand position outward, so the shelf expression and the advertising make the same argument. Work covers structural and graphic design, label and range architecture, regulatory copy placement and the production files a printer can run. The studio's packaging work spans wine and spirits, food, cosmetics and consumer goods, with projects including Selecție Cotnari, Cuza Vodă and Castel Mimi. The measure of the work is commercial: whether the pack wins the comparison at the point of purchase and holds its place in the range.
