Packaging & CPG Consulting
Expert guidance, wherever you are in the process.
A focused 45-minute session for food and beverage founders who want an experienced perspective on their product, packaging, or next move.
Being my first time doing anything like this Jillian took the time to answer all of my questions and explain processes. It was such a pleasure working with Elbongurk, I will use them for all of my future design projects.
You do not need a full design engagement to get an experienced perspective.
Bring whatever you have. That might be an early product idea, a list of questions, vendor information, mockups, or packaging that is already in market. We’ll meet you where you are, focus on what matters most, and identify the clearest next steps.

45-Minute Packaging & CPG Consult
$295 · Live video call
A focused, one-on-one session shaped around where you are right now.
If you are developing or testing a new product, we can talk through packaging options, launch decisions, vendors, budgets, timelines, and common pitfalls.
If you already have packaging, we can review it together and discuss what is working, what may be getting in the way, and what improvements should take priority.
Use your session to:
- talk through an early-stage food or beverage product
- review existing packaging or mockups
- get feedback on messaging, hierarchy, or shelf presence
- discuss packaging formats, printers, manufacturers, or vendors
- think through DTC, farmers market, wholesale, or retail needs
- understand realistic budgets and timelines
- identify potential problems before investing further
- decide what to prioritize next
Before the call
You’ll complete a short intake form so I understand your product, current stage, and biggest questions.
You can also send anything ahead of time that would help me see the full picture, including packaging files, mockups, product photos, vendor information, or photos of your product in the environment where it is sold. Shelf photos that show neighboring and competing products are especially helpful.
You do not need a polished presentation, and it is completely fine if you do not have anything visual yet.
During the call
We’ll spend 45 minutes focused on your most important questions, decisions, or packaging concerns. You can share your screen to walk me through packaging, retail shelves, competitor products, vendor information, websites, or anything else that would be helpful to review together.
The session will be recorded so you can revisit the conversation afterward.
Book a Packaging & CPG Consult
This session provides strategic guidance and professional feedback, not design execution. If your needs extend beyond what we can reasonably cover in 45 minutes, I’ll help you identify the best next step.
After the call
You can take the guidance and move forward independently, return for another consult when a new question comes up, or explore a larger Brand Plan, brand identity, or package design engagement.
There’s no obligation to continue into a larger project.
FAQ
Do I need to have packaging already?
No. You can book while developing or testing an idea, before choosing a packaging format, or after your packaging has already been designed or launched.
What can we cover during the session?
The session is shaped around your needs. We might discuss an early-stage product, packaging formats, launch plans, sales channels, vendors, budgets, messaging, visual hierarchy, shelf presence, or improvements to an existing design.
What should I send beforehand?
Share anything that will help me understand your questions. That might include product notes, packaging images, mockups, vendor information, quotes, inspiration, or an existing design. You do not need to create a formal presentation.
Can you redesign my packaging during the session?
No. The consult provides strategic direction and professional feedback rather than hands-on design execution. If design or redesign work is needed, I can explain the available options.
Can we review more than one product or SKU?
We can discuss a closely related product family, but 45 minutes goes quickly. If you have several substantially different products, formats, or brands, we may need to prioritize one or schedule an additional session.
Will the session be recorded?
Yes. You’ll receive a recording of the 45-minute call so you can revisit the feedback afterward.
Can I book another session later?
Absolutely. Founders often return when preparing for a launch, revising packaging, adding a product, or facing a new decision.
Let’s meet you where you are.
Whether you’re developing a new product, working through packaging decisions, or reviewing something already in market, bring what you have and we’ll focus on the questions that matter most.
