Anna Kornak, creative director at Grafanna

01Creative director

Anna Kornak

Anna studied design in Italy — at the Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti and the Istituto Europeo di Design in Turin. The Italian school taught her that good packaging is not decoration but architecture: it has a foundation, a structure and a purpose.

After returning to Poland in 2008, she began designing packaging as a sole trader. In 2011 she founded GRAFANNA sp. z o.o., the company that runs the studio to this day. Since then, Grafanna has designed more than 5,000 packs for nearly 100 clients — from craft start-ups to international corporations. Grafanna’s designs are now on shelves in Europe, Asia, Africa and the United States.

“My passion is packaging that gives brands originality and personality — and sells before the customer has time to think.”

02Film

Grafanna in 30 seconds.

Why the first two seconds decide whether a product gets chosen — and how to make them work for your brand.

03Expertise

Everything your packaging needs.

Under one roof we combine skills you would normally have to source from several agencies. That way, nothing gets lost between strategy, design and the printer.

01

Strategy and brand architecture

Shelf and competitor analysis, positioning, systems for entire product portfolios.

02

Packaging and label design

Concepts, range development, variants and language versions — for every FMCG category.

03

Illustration and brand characters

Characters, illustrations and graphic elements that build a brand’s personality.

04

3D visualisation and AI imagery

Photorealistic visualisations, rendering and AI-generated images — for the shelf, campaigns and e-commerce.

05

Print preparation

Production files, technical checks and close cooperation with printers.

04History

From Turin to your shelf.

Six chapters that shaped the way we design.

  1. Turin

    Learning to see

    Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti and Istituto Europeo di Design. Italian design from the inside: thinking first, form second.

  2. 2008

    First projects

    Back from Italy, Anna Kornak starts designing packaging as a sole trader. The first labels — and a principle that still applies: no guesswork, every decision has a reason.

  3. 2011

    GRAFANNA sp. z o.o. is founded

    The studio’s business moves to the newly founded GRAFANNA sp. z o.o., which still runs the studio and delivers every project.

  4. Growth

    Hundreds of launches a year

    Plusssz, Ludwik, Kupiec, Chicco and dozens of other brands join the portfolio. More and more often we design entire product ranges — systems that hold together with every new SKU.

  5. Awards

    Art of Packaging and Rich Contest

    An Art of Packaging award for the Augusto White & Black Squares premium ice cream range and a distinction in the Coca-Cola HBC competition for the Rich juice range.

  6. Today

    GRAFANNA Packaging Design

    A team of specialist designers, photorealistic CGI visualisations and AI tools wherever they genuinely improve the work. A human is always at the helm.

05Our approach

Every detail matters.
Even the ones you can’t see.

01

Long-term partnerships

Many brands have stayed with us through successive launches and range updates. We know their history, so every new project fits the bigger picture.

02

See it on the shelf before it’s made

Photorealistic 3D visualisations show your packaging on the shelf before the first unit is produced. You decide based on what you see, not what you imagine.

03

Technology in service of design

We use AI tools wherever they genuinely improve quality and speed. Design decisions are always made by people.

04

Big or small — the same care

We work with craft start-ups and FMCG giants alike, because good design is the foundation of every strong brand.
