Do you have your own designer?
Yes. H&B Art has an in-house design and R&D team rather than outsourcing development to a third party. The team covers three areas that OEM and private label buyers usually need to move at the same time: product development, packaging artwork, and color assortment planning.
What the in-house team handles
| Area | What is developed | Typical buyer need |
|---|---|---|
| Product development | Component configuration, core hardness, color counts, accessory lists | Building a reference that fits a target price point |
| Packaging and artwork | Tin, carton and case artwork, inserts, instruction sheets, label layout | Private label launch, gift-facing presentation |
| Color assortment | Color counts and palette selection by market and end user | Classroom, student, hobby and artist positioning |
How development runs with a buyer
Development is handled against a brief rather than as a standalone design service. Buyers share the target market, the intended price point and any reference samples, and the team returns a configuration proposal plus artwork for approval. Because design and production sit in the same facility, changes agreed at the sampling stage are carried through to the production line without a handover between suppliers.
What to send with a design request
Useful inputs are the target market, the channel, the intended retail price point, the color count required, and any brand assets. Where a buyer already has artwork, the team reviews it for print feasibility on the intended structure before a sample is produced.
