At Volkers, we have the expertise to design and produce highly realistic and high-quality mockups for both (metalized) foil and paper or cardboard. Mockups, also known as dummy packaging, are often used when the actual packaging has not yet been produced or is unavailable. They are ideal for making a strong first impression in situations such as:
“You never get a second chance to make a great first impression.” That’s exactly why we create magical mockups. We've been doing this for decades, and thanks to our extensive material knowledge and production experience, these dummy packages are indistinguishable from the real thing. Truly! And by filling them with the actual product, we take it a step further—literally and figuratively. This way, you’ll have a sample of a new foil package, like the one shown here, in no time.
Packaging should feel familiar while also sparking the imagination. It should surprise. Achieving this requires both creativity and empathy. After all, even dummy packaging is about creating an experience and telling a story. That’s why we ensure an optimal balance between the look and feel of the packaging. “Is this really a mockup? I can hardly tell the difference. I hope the final production will look just as amazing.”
Printed mockups can be laminated, (spot) varnished, and fully finished with special closures. These details bring the character and feel of mockups as close to reality as possible. We ensure that butter looks creamy, fish appears fresh, and croquettes seem perfectly crispy. Any shape, quantity, or packaging is possible—from stand-up pouches, quad seal bags, and shrink sleeves to flow packs and boxes. Whether life-sized or as a blowup, no challenge is too big for us.
