Labelkiln

About

Made in Philadelphia, for anyone with a product to ship.

Labelkiln exists because the gap between a good product and good packaging is too expensive for most founders. We are building the studio we wanted when we were the ones waiting three weeks for a proof.

Founders

Nadia Brennan

Co-founder and CEO

Nadia ran packaging for a Philadelphia snack brand that went from two farmers markets to 1,400 grocery doors. She has sat through more dieline revisions than anyone should, and started Labelkiln so a founder could see the real pack before paying for the first proof.

Theo Vasquez

Co-founder and CTO

Theo built real-time 3D product configurators for furniture and footwear retailers, then spent two years on image model evaluation. He wrote the first version of the can wrap shader on a train between 30th Street Station and New York.

We work out of an office on Market Street, a short walk from 30th Street Station, with a test shelf of real cans, cartons, and pouches against one wall. Every direction style in Labelkiln gets checked against it.
