Matte Stand-Up Pouch Design

I need a fresh artwork file for a premium, matte-finish stand-up pouch that will hold a single-variety dry fruit—either almonds or cashews (I will confirm the exact nut once we get started). The design needs to feel elegant and luxurious while still reading clearly as a healthy food product on a crowded retail shelf.

I’ll supply the final die-line, barcode and all copy; you focus on the visual story: refined colour palette, balanced typography, tasteful product imagery or illustrations and any subtle embellishments that still laminate well under a matte surface. Please keep sufficient quiet zones for heat-sealing and tear-notch areas.

Deliverables
• Print-ready artwork (CMYK, 300 dpi) fitted to my die-line
• Fully editable source file (Adobe Illustrator or layered PSD)
• High-resolution 3D mock-ups of front, back and one angled view for presentation

Acceptance criteria: artwork aligns perfectly with dieline, legible at 100 % print size, colours stay within G7 safe range for flexible packaging, and the matte look remains consistent across mock-ups.

If you routinely work with stand-up pouch projects and understand the quirks of matte laminates, this should be a smooth collaboration.
