6-Step Design Process for Engineered Solutions
1. Evaluate the distribution environment
We work with you to understand your logistical hazards and ensure your products arrive safely at their destination.
2. Determine product fragility
We analyse the internal stresses caused by shock during shipment to define your product’s robustness and offer the ideal packaging solution.
3. Determine the sustainability orientation
Our materials include recycled content and kerbside recyclable options. We study the best solution to help you reduce waste, carbon footprint and packaging volume.
4. Material selection
All of your packaging solutions are carefully selected to provide the most product protection with the least amount of material possible.
5. Design and prototype
Using our high-tech systems – 3D scanning, 3D visualisation and CAD/CAM – we will present a complete solution that perfectly protects your product and enhances the brand experience.
6. Testing and verification
To give you the best level of confidence in our proposed solution, we also offer a wide range of industry-recognised testing procedures.
Testing Protocols
We offer testing for a variety of materials including foams, inflatable cushioning and inflatable void filling, retention and suspension, paper products. If your materials do not perform as intended, our Engineered Solutions team is ready to help solve any of your packaging challenges.
