Craft Brewery Packaging Design Suite Intake Form

Streamline Your Craft Brewery Packaging Design Projects

Creating standout packaging for craft beer is equal parts art, science, and regulatory navigation. Whether you're launching a new flagship IPA, refreshing your seasonal line, or building a complete visual identity across your portfolio, getting the brief right from day one makes all the difference.

This Craft Brewery Packaging Design Suite Intake Form is built specifically for creative agencies, design studios, and freelance designers working with breweries—and for breweries managing their own design projects. It captures everything your team needs to deliver packaging that pops on the shelf, meets TTB and state compliance standards, and tells your brewery's story with consistency across every SKU.

What This Template Covers

The form walks clients through product line architecture (core vs. seasonal vs. limited releases), brand positioning and competitive differentiation, detailed material and printing specifications, mandatory regulatory callouts, and shelf presence goals. You'll gather reference imagery, existing brand assets, budget parameters, and approval workflows—all in one structured, easy-to-complete intake.

Instead of chasing details over email threads or losing critical specs in scattered PDFs, Paperform lets you build an on-brand intake experience that clients can complete in one sitting. Conditional logic reveals the right follow-up questions based on package type, printing method, or project scope, so you're not asking brewers about shrink sleeve specs when they're designing a can label.

Why Paperform Works for Creative Project Intakes

Design and creative service firms need intake forms that reflect the quality of the work they produce. With Paperform's doc-style editor, you can add brewery imagery, mood boards, and inline examples of past projects to guide clients through the process. Multi-page layouts keep complex briefs organized, while file upload fields let clients share logos, label mockups, or existing packaging samples directly in the form.

Once a brewery submits, you can use Stepper to automatically create a project folder in your design tools, add the client to your CRM, assign the brief to your creative lead, and send a personalized kickoff email—all triggered from the form submission. If you need client sign-off on concepts or final artwork, Papersign makes it easy to send design approvals for eSignature and keep everything linked back to the original intake for a complete project paper trail.

Who This Template Is For

This template is ideal for graphic designers, branding agencies, creative studios, and packaging consultants working with craft breweries, cideries, distilleries, and beverage brands. It's also a smart fit for in-house creative teams at larger breweries managing design requests across multiple product lines, or brewery owners who work directly with freelance designers and want to ensure every detail is captured upfront.

Craft beverage packaging is a unique niche—TTB compliance, FDA labeling rules, substrate limitations, and the need to stand out in a crowded cooler all come into play. This form is purpose-built for that reality, helping you gather technical requirements and creative direction in one go, so your team can focus on designing labels that sell.
