FAQ

Branding & Positioning

What makes a strong brand for my product?

A strong brand communicates a clear story, resonates with your audience, and differentiates your product in a crowded market. At Crème de Mint, we combine visual identity, messaging, and packaging strategy to create brands that connect with consumers and build loyalty.

How do I position my product in a crowded market?

Positioning starts with understanding your target audience and competitors. We help you define a unique value proposition, design packaging that stands out, and craft messaging that makes your product instantly recognizable.

How do I make my packaging reflect my brand values?

Every design decision from color and typography to materials and messaging can communicate your brand’s mission. We ensure your packaging reflects your values, so consumers immediately understand what your brand stands for.

How do I create a brand that appeals to my target audience?

By combining market research, consumer insights, and strategic design, we create branding and packaging that speaks directly to your ideal customer, captures attention, and drives engagement and sales.

Should I refresh my branding if my product is already in stores?

If your packaging isn’t resonating with your audience or doesn’t reflect your current positioning, a refresh can increase visibility, strengthen your brand, and boost sales. We guide whether a full redesign or targeted updates are most effective.

Process & Collaboration

When in the process should I hire a branding agency?

Bringing in a branding and packaging agency early, ideally as soon as you have identified your manufacturer will ensure your packaging, branding, and compliance are aligned. Early collaboration saves time, reduces costs, and prevents redesigns.

What is your branding process?

At Crème de Mint, our branding process starts with a deep dive into your vision and target market, using curated mood boards as the creative launchpad. These boards act as a collaborative tool to explore logo and packaging direction, helping shape design choices that reflect your unique vision. They help us align on style, color, fonts and more—giving you a voice in the creative direction from the start. They spark meaningful conversations and help shape a strategic, cohesive brand identity and packaging design that connect with your audience.

Do I need a trademark for my brand?

Yes, if you are selling a product you need a trademark BEFORE your logo is designed.

Here are the steps to securing a trademark:


Step 1
: Hire a trademark attorney (while not required, we recommend it!)

Step 2: Check for your desired name through the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Organization). If a brand in your industry has a similar name (even if it’s spelled differently), you most likely will not be able to secure a trademark.

Step 3: Apply for your trademark. Your application will take about 5 months to go through
the process.

Step 4: If your trademark gets approved, submit a Statement of Use with the USPTO.

For more information on the trademark process, read this blog post.

It’s important that your trademark attorney is a good fit for you. I recommend reaching out to several to determine if you will work well together. Download our lawyer directory to find attorneys we have worked with in the past or that other clients have recommended. Additionally, you can locate trademark attorneys through your state’s bar website.

How long does branding take?

Branding processes and rebrands often take 6 months or more. But at Crème de Mint, we work a little differently. With our branding process, we streamline everything (see What is your branding process?) From mood boards to concepts you can expect our process can take as little as 3 or 4 weeks.

I want to move my business forward, but I’m not sure what the next step is. Can you help?

Absolutely! We assess your brand and product goals and guide you to the next step—whether that’s branding, packaging design, or strategy.

Our brand foundation process includes:

  1. Interview: Capture your brand story and vision.

  2. Research: Analyze competitors and target audience to position your brand effectively.

  3. Brand Strategy Content Brief: Defines positioning, core values, target audience, and sales channel strategy.

  4. Brand Voice Guide: Establishes tone, messaging, and sample copy for packaging, website, and marketing.

Agency Expertise

What does a branding and packaging agency actually do?

A full-service branding and packaging agency like Crème de Mint combines strategy, creative design, and practical guidance. We:

  • Create a cohesive visual identity for your brand

  • Develop packaging concepts that meet retail and Amazon standards

  • Advise on materials, structure, and production considerations

  • Ensure your brand story is clearly communicated through every touchpoint

We don’t engineer packaging or perform lab tests ourselves, but we coordinate with manufacturers, co-packers, and compliance experts to make sure your product is market-ready.

How do I know if I need a full-service agency or just a freelance designer?

If you want strategic guidance, cohesive branding, and packaging that’s scalable across multiple SKUs or sales channels, a full-service agency is the best choice. For simple projects or one-off design tasks, a freelance designer might be sufficient. However, it is important that whoever you choose to work with that they have experience in your industry and if you need packaging design that you hire a package designer rather than just a graphic designer. 

Can an agency help me scale my packaging across multiple SKUs or markets?

Absolutely. We create flexible design systems and templates so new products or lines integrate seamlessly with your brand identity, whether you’re expanding online, into retail, or launching globally.

How do I work with an agency if I’m selling both online and in stores?

We design packaging that performs in both e-commerce and retail settings, ensuring it meets Amazon and DTC requirements while looking premium on shelves. We also design your Amazon store and product pages, creating a consistent brand experience across all sales channels.
