About US

The Pillbox Methodology

We're a passionate team of creative minds united by our love for design and problem-solving, combining diverse skills to develop cutting-edge packaging solutions. Our mission revolves around creating eco-friendly, premium packaging that meets stringent quality standards, driven by our ambitious yet forward-thinking vision.

Our design team is built from a combination of graphic designers and brand experts, with structural engineers, and production technicians. When we work together, we have a complete specialist knowledge of the entire packaging process.

We offer more realistic ideas than a branding agency, and more innovative ideas than a packaging manufacturer.

Our namesake, 'Pillbox', pays homage to our rich heritage. Duncan, our founder, represents the latest in six generations of packaging designers, spanning over 180 years of industry expertise. His great-great-great-grandfather invented the first mass-produced pillbox in 1839.
