Packaging is ‘brand in hand’. It’s the first and the last point of sensory contact with your brand.

With over 40 years of experience in retail and consumer brands we have the expertise to design and create iconic packaging that delivers commercial value and reduces its impact on the environment.

Extraordinary is our ordinary

Our name is born from a fundamental truth that even the very best of ideas start ‘ugly’. Whether they help start a fledgling business or help a brand leader stretch their advantage. They all start raw, uncrafted and lacking validation. More than this, the process of design itself is ugly. It is not a sausage machine. It is a process driven by tension that pushes boundaries and delivers extraordinary impact.

It is a process that is in our blood. Born more than forty years ago, we have always believed that ugly fights harder. Ugly has somewhere to go. It feeds bravery and endeavour. Ugly isn’t scared to embrace dangerous creative that has the power to disrupt and break through. With conviction, ugly redefines the status quo and creates something truly remarkable.
