Packaging Design Process

Making a box can be relatively simple. However, creating a package design that protects your product, grabs the attention of your customer, leaves them with a great brand experience and fits within your budget involves:

Define

 

We begin our work with you to figure out what we need to do to find a suitable solution to achieve your goals. We will get aligned by listening and asking questions to gain a mutual understanding to create a project brief which will include a statement of work, cost estimate and the estimated timing to get you the optimal packaging solution.

Design

 

We will develop a concept and walk you through the proposed solution. Based on that, we will provide you with a physical mockup to review and provide any final feedback. Once finalized we will proceed to test the concept.

Qualify

We will perform validation testing to verify the packaging solution we designed for your product will meet industry standard safety and performance objectives. If there are adjustments to be made, we will modify to ensure that your product is in a package that protects and delivers your product safely to the customer.

Deliver

Finally, once we have qualified the package design we will provide you with production ready CAD files, proposed material specifications, a container load plan report, test report summary with photos and package assembly instructions. With these, you will be able to give your packaging supplier the necessary elements to produce the desired packaging solution.
