Creation
In retail environments, customers make split-second purchasing decisions based on what they see. Your packaging needs to say a lot without saying too much.
Our job is to help companies maximise the potential of their product by creating packaging that has real shelf stand-out, embodies the brand well and can be manufactured at a realistic price.
Our skills and know-how in forecasting, research, and original ideas generation give us unique insight into the packaging formats that could drive your business’ future competitiveness.
Our skills in quick visualisation and mock-up production are invaluable to marketing and engineering teams. Making ideas “real” helps you to engage with us, understand the design intent and contribute your input.
Development
Developing ideas into production-ready packaging is core to our experience.
We have taken hundreds of ideas from a starting point of words, doodles, or design concepts through a process that results in fully-proven, fully-detailed designs and prototypes that are ready for production.
Our process is based on over 25 years’ immersion in diverse development technologies, most production processes, several markets and many legislative or sustainability requirements. And we’re still learning more every day.
From simple blister cards, clam-packs and board cartons to complex injection mouldings, pouches, bags and blow-moulded bottles – we’ve done it. On-site facilities for CNC cutting, vacuum forming and 3D printing help our team deliver quickly.
Delivery
We’ve got the contacts and experience to find the partners that can ease the path to manufacturing, assembly and accreditation of new packaging.
Working with production teams world-wide, our team can manage delivery, logistics and quality control of prototype, pre-production or continuing batches.
In the same way that it makes sense for architects to manage the build of a house they design, as designers we know the product inside out and can significantly speed the path to production by managing it.
We’ve got know-how in packaging production logistics that feeds back through the design process to ensure that everything is optimised, palletising and containerising efficiently right up to your customer’s door.
