Custom Packaging in Quebec — Bilingual by Default, Designed for the Distinct Quebec Market

Quebec's packaging market has requirements that no other Canadian province shares to the same degree. The Charter of the French Language requires that French be markedly predominant on consumer product packaging sold in Quebec — not merely present, but visually dominant. For brands distributing in Quebec, this is not a compliance suggestion; it is a legal requirement that affects typography sizing, layout hierarchy, and the entire visual structure of the packaging design.

Bespoke Boxes produces custom packaging for Quebec businesses and for national brands requiring Quebec-compliant distribution packaging. Our bilingual design process treats French predominance as a design parameter from the initial layout stage, not a correction applied after English copy is placed. The result is packaging where both languages are present with legal compliance and where the design quality is not compromised by the compliance requirement.
