Meet Dan Radlauer: Packaging Designer In New York City

1. How did you get started designing and engineering packaging?
2. What skills are needed to be a good packaging designer?
If it isn’t there you will never understand packaging design. My job is to flatten out those 3 dimensions into 2 dimensions (flat template) so designers can do what they are good at.
I think about and almost fully design boxes in my mind before I make any drawings or comps.
I have worked with tools and building things my entire life. Packaging in just another thing to figure out, design and build. A knowledge of the equipment used to manufacture is critical. You can design anything but it has to be done in a way that it can be mass manufactured cost effectively with the equipment that exists.
It is important to know which material is right for a particular application. Solid Board, Corrugated (different types) and non-paper based substrates all have their role in packaging.
3. How long have you been in the packaging design/engineering and printing business?
4. How long does it usually take you to design packaging? Not a simple question. Jobs are so different based on the client and their knowledge of the product or process.
5. What do you need from a client to create a good design?
6. What kinds of packaging design do you do?
7. Why do you like packaging design?
8. What industry types do you design packaging for?
9. Do you provide prototyping/comps for new clients?
10. What motivated you to start designing and engineering packaging?
11. What makes your packaging design skills unique?
How am I different: I like to go to a meeting and if I think it’s real deal then I go home and make a quick comp that evening. I can be at their office the next day with a physical comp. My competition takes a minimum of several days for a first comp. By the time their first comp arrives at the client we are at round 2 or 3 and about to sign off on the design. I don’t want to promise this to everyone on the website but it’s how I do it. You figure out how to say it I guess.
12. What tools/software do you use when engineering your designs?
13. What is the most challenging aspect of creating a new design?
Reality there are some basic proven designs that work well and make for efficient manufacturing.
Selecting the correct proven design is just as important as creating something new.
