Drinks are bought by eye. On a cafe counter, a fridge door or a delivery app, a cup or can has to be recognised from across the room and photographed by the customer. Lircle Creative Studio designs beverage brands and packaging for matcha cafes, functional drinks and ready-to-drink ranges across the GCC.
Why beverage brands work with Lircle
- Made to be shared. We design cups, cans and tins as the brand's best social asset, with a mark and a colour that read in a story frame.
- Flavour systems. Colour and type rules that let you add flavours and limited editions without losing the core look.
- Bilingual layouts. Arabic and English planned together on small surfaces like cans, lids and labels.
- CGI renders. Cans, bottles and cups rendered at real scale for approval, e-commerce and launch content.
Selected beverage work
Heart of Matcha, a matcha cafe brand with a chunky pink wordmark, a heart mascot, cups, tins and boxes. Mucho Matcha, matcha packaging direction. Pure Dose, an energy drink with a bold can and multipack sleeve.

Process and timeline
Every project follows the same three steps. Discover: a short brief, your range, your market and your competitors on shelf and online. Design: concept routes, then one direction developed into a full system. Deliver: print-ready dielines, bilingual artwork, CGI renders and a short guide your printer and team can follow. Most projects run 3 to 6 weeks depending on the number of SKUs, with feedback rounds on Gulf working hours.
Investment
Every scope is quoted before we start, in USD with SAR and AED shown. Smaller identity or packaging systems usually sit between $3k and $7k; full brand, packaging and launch systems usually run $7k to $15k or more. See our honest pricing guide. After launch, many brands keep us on a monthly creative retainer.

Frequently asked questions
Do you design cans and bottle labels?
Yes. We design cans, bottle labels, sleeves and multipacks, and prepare print-ready files with your printer or can supplier specs.
Can you build a brand for a matcha or juice cafe?
Yes. Heart of Matcha is an example: logo, mascot, cups, tins, boxes and campaign visuals as one system.
How do you handle many flavours?
We set a flavour system (colour, pattern or type rule) so each new flavour follows the same logic.
How quickly do you reply?
We reply to every enquiry within 24 hours with next steps and, where possible, a scoped proposal.
