Packaging design methodology

To ensure consistent performance and dependable success, our experienced team of engineers and creatives have built a tried-and-true packaging design methodology on these five pillars:

Sustainable packaging design: an old concept now more important than ever

Packaging design has an opportunity to play a larger role in your brand’s efforts to become more sustainable. Lean on your packaging supplier to innovate, identify, and capture the sustainable packaging design opportunities that lay ahead.

It starts with asking your supplier the right questions.

  • Can we use less material?
  • Can we improve the perception of sustainability by introducing other materials?
  • Can we mix materials to create a smaller packaging footprint?
  • Does a smaller package always translate to a more sustainable package?
  • Do your sustainability efforts have a place in our product’s story?
