Packaging Innovation

The pack is part of the formulation.

Innovation

The pack is part of the formulation.

Packaging decides shelf life as much as the recipe does. It also carries about a fifth of your unit cost and all of your sustainability exposure. We treat pack development as a technical project with barrier data, machinability trials and cost modelling.

Scope of work

How we work on Packaging Innovation

Barrier & shelf-life matching

WVTR and OTR targets derived from your product's actual degradation mode.

Material rationalisation

Structure simplification, down-gauging and cost reduction without shelf-life loss.

Sustainable packaging

Recyclable mono-material, EPR readiness and honest sustainability claims.

Machinability trials

Running new structures on your existing filler before committing to volume.

Shelf impact & ergonomics

Structural and graphic decisions tested for retail visibility and opening experience.

Supplier qualification

Converter evaluation, specification issue and incoming quality standards.

Engagement

Start with a technical conversation, not a proposal

Tell us the product, the target cost and the deadline. In the first call we will tell you whether it is feasible, roughly what it will take, and what we would check first. If it is not a fit for us, we will say so.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Can we move to recyclable mono-material?

Frequently yes, but barrier performance must be re-validated. We run a shelf-life study in the new structure before you switch.

How much can packaging cost be reduced?

In our projects, typically 8-18 percent through structure and supplier rationalisation, without changing shelf life.

Do you design artwork?

We write the technical and regulatory content and work alongside your design agency on the layout.
