TURBOPLUG

Design studio · Madrid · Europe

The name becomes matter

Author-driven illustrated design for cannabis labels and packaging. Every name is rendered as the physical substance it evokes: pastry, stone, smoke, sugar.

Why TurboPlug

An artist's signature, not templates

We don't compete on personalization or price. Every piece carries a recognizable illustrated signature.

Integrated physical production

From design to printed container: we deliver print-ready files and the finished product.

Selective holographic

Our own selective white-layer technique: the lettering emerges genuinely holographic. No equivalent in Europe.

Permanent exclusivity

One design, one brand. Real rights transfer and exclusivity on every piece.

Our story

Where TurboPlug comes from

TurboPlug started from a simple idea: cannabis packaging in Europe is almost always treated as an afterthought — a generic sticker on whatever jar was cheapest. We treat it as what it actually is: author-driven design, with the same care as any premium category.

The one principle we don't negotiate is that the product's name becomes the matter it evokes — stone, pastry, smoke, crystal. It isn't decoration sitting on top of the name; it's the name made into image. That's why AI never composes the lettering — the studio draws it, with its own alphabets.

The snail that represents us isn't an accident: slow, but never stops, and carries its home — its identity — wherever it goes. That's how we build every brand: not as a one-off job, but as something that grows with the client.

What doesn't change

Author's signature

We don't compete on templates or low price. Every piece is recognisably ours.

Integrated production

We design and manufacture. What leaves here is print-ready and sale-ready.

Real exclusivity

One design, one brand — with rights transferred in writing, not a vague promise.

Our own innovation

Selective holographic (RDG_WHITE) is ours, with no identified equivalent in Europe.

Zero to brand — the OBG case

Ooga Booga Gas is the full example of what we do when the brief is the whole brand, not just a label: identity, packaging, product range and content, all built from scratch.

Quality, not just any print

This isn't an order to a Chinese printer. It's studio production: premium-grade materials, colour control and finishes you feel with your hands.

Glass and Miron Glass

Glass only, and for the premium tier violet Miron Glass: it blocks the visible spectrum that degrades cannabinoids and terpenes and lets through only UV-A and infrared. It extends shelf life and gives the container a luxury-pharma body plastic doesn't have.

Print-and-cut printing

Vinyl with a CMYK FOGRA39 profile at 300 ppi and an exact cut contour (CutContour). Colour stable batch to batch, without the drift of a cheap print.

Selective holographic

RDG_WHITE layer: where a white base is printed the colour is solid; where it's omitted the vinyl's holographic finish shows through. Applied to the lettering, the letters come out genuinely holographic. No equivalent in Europe.

Varnish, UV and relief

Finish to choose: gloss or matte varnish, selective UV and relief (RDG_GLOSS). Real texture: areas that shine, areas that sink, parts you can feel.

How it looks and feels

Texture & finish guide

Four finishes, explained like a print-shop swatch book: what happens to the light, what happens to the touch. Where we have a real photo of a physical piece, you can open it.

REFLEJA LA LUZ

Vinyl with gloss varnish: print-and-cut holds solid colour and reflects light like a professional print, not a cheap home sticker.

Services

Packaging design

  • Side labelfrom €149
  • Side + capfrom €199
  • Mylarfrom €169
  • Drop Packfrom €490
  • Full Brand€990 – 1,990

Final pricing depends on the number of pieces and the finish. Physical packaging is quoted separately. Minimum 30 units per design and size.

Custom 3D printing

We design and fabricate brand objects to order for any sector and format: engraved caps, keychains, counter displays, presentation pieces, moulds, short-run collectibles and numbered 3D drops.

  • Modelling + prototype

    From a sketch or your logo to a 3D model. A printed physical sample before the run to validate size, fit and finish.

  • Short run or series

    From one piece. Material, colour, engraving and post-processing (sanding, hand painting, varnish) to choose. Small or medium scale without expensive mould tooling.

  • Collectible 3D drop

    A numbered limited-edition piece, with the same exclusivity logic as the labels: one series, one preferential owner per piece.

  • Any sector

    The same method works for a cannabis cap, a hotel keychain, a festival trophy or a shop display. Invoiced as a project, like design.

How to order

  1. Tell us which piece you want, what for and how many. Send us your logo or reference.
  2. We confirm scope, material, finish, timeline and price in writing.
  3. We model it and send you a render and, where relevant, a physical sample.
  4. Once the prototype is approved, we produce the run and deliver.

A commissioned design and fabrication service, invoiced as a project — like the labels. Catalogue accessories (direct sale) are sold in a separate store. Price from a quote: it depends on the piece, the material and the quantity.

Beyond the jar

The same finishing standard extends to other brand objects. 10/10 quality always — the material sets how much detail it can hold, not the effort.

Custom Clipper lighters

Relief engraving, textures and bespoke finishes on the refillable lighter. The same print quality as the labels.

Apparel (t-shirts, polos, sportswear)

Any logo, colour or format — t-shirt, polo, technical sportswear. Several fabric grades to choose from; the print is always top-level. It won't match a glass jar for fine detail (the surface doesn't allow it), but it's the same finishing standard applied to textile.

3D brand collectibles

Original-design pieces at any scale — from a keychain to a display piece. Every piece is designed from scratch — we don't reproduce third-party trademarked characters or objects.

Real pieces, no filters

Straight product photography from our own shoot — this is what the gloss, the matte and the engraving look like in hand, not in a mockup.

Audiovisual strategy

A great design doesn't matter if no one sees it well. We produce product photography and video — the same level of investment in imagery as the American brands that take this most seriously — so the gloss, texture and finish come through on every channel.

Product video

Detail shots: gloss, texture, unboxing. Short clips ready for social or the web.

Studio photography

Product in hand, in its packaging and in context — light and composition built to sell, not just to show.

Launch content

A photo and video package coordinated with every drop, so the launch has real presence from day one.

Product in hand, unedited

Straight footage from the latest shoot — finished piece turning in hand, no editing or effects. This is what it looks like before you order it.

The TurboPlug mascot, animated

3D brand content for social — the three TurboPlug snails in different scenes. Animation, not a real product: this is how far the mascot travels once it goes to video.

Bespoke service · full project

Full product creation

When a label isn't enough, you need a whole brand. We structure the product from end to end — with the same level of care in imagery as the big US brands, applied to your project.

Management & structuring

We organize the product project: supplier, production, timeline and budget.

Brand + packaging design

Full identity — name, palette, own lettering and the packaging that carries it.

3D pieces & brand objects

Utensils, displays, collectibles and gifts — all the physical objects around the product.

Brand strategy

Positioning, storytelling and a product range built as a narrative line, not loose SKUs.

Launch media

Brand photography and video coordinated with the launch — the content that makes the product look the way it deserves.

Bespoke project, no fixed fee. Quoted after a discovery call — depends on scope, number of pieces and how much management is involved.
