The images i was using was shot in RAW settings so they were rather on the large side of things, this allowed me a lot of space to play around and edit.
1. First i put them all to black and white to allow a single colour overlay (the series of colours for my packaging).
2. I cropped the specific parts of the photos i wanted to use keeping in mind that this section had to communicate the message i was trying to send as best the image could.
3. I put a gradient across them to break up the image a bit and to make it look slightly better.
4. I then experimented with spot colour overlays, producing a nice duotone image with the black and spot colour overlay.
Gradients
When selecting my colour overlay i made VERY sure that it was in the CMYK spectrum of colours so that i would get pretty much what was on screen printed out (hopefully).
