Packaging Design as a Service

 

Our comprehensive packaging design as a service can benefit mid to large-size brands that manufacture products across multiple countries and regions in Southeast Asia.

 

Whether you have already identified packaging challenges, or you need some assistance to identify areas for improvement, we collaborate with you for a customized solution.

 

Solutions begin with a deep dive into your product packaging design and how it performs in the supply chain. From there, a business proposal is developed that outlines areas for enhanced performance, packaging design improvements, and estimated savings. Once the business proposal is approved, we fully develop the solution which can include: pilot production, validation testing, final structure design, and material selections. After the final approval of the design and materials, the best packaging design is introduced to the factory along with the sourcing strategy and implementation plan.
