We expertly design packaging that optimises innovation, environmental benefit, performance and product-material ratio whilst being fully compliant to sustainable design principles.

Our process

Our process includes digital sketching and editing that allows for real-time, onscreen industrial designs that enables us to meet deadlines whilst highlighting design features and benefits.

By converting our digital sketches to 3D models we can offer photo-realistic renders and share product specifications such as stacking configurations, form, weight and volume validation and accurate pre-investment product visuals to fast track decision making and bringing a new product to life.

In preparing for sampling, our technology allows us to assess the product performance in a real-world situation, such as top load limits, stress concentrations, vacuum pressure resistance and drop test simulations, thereby greatly mitigating risk.

Samples for marketing purposes can be decorated in a variety of options such as sleeving, painted or labelled. Up to 200 product units can be prototyped for line trials by producing temporary moulds using our 3D printing capability, shortening your line trial product delivery timeline to only 2 weeks!

Custom designed moulds are necessary for custom designed products and therefore the decision to invest, rests on the annual volume required by your brand. The unique packaging requirements guide us to make use of the most relevant production technology and therefore determine the initial investment cost. In some cases, full mould investment may be eliminated by making use of generic preforms.

Our lifecycle approach focuses on design requirements, namely:

  • filling line requirements
  • brand positioning
  • environmental considerations
  • supply chain requirements
  • costs
  • product preservation / shelf-life
  • EPR parameters.

We can expertly re-design your existing packaging to fully comply to sustainable design principles: nestable designs, wide necks, material identification symbols, minimal loose components, recyclable material and minimal additives.

An EPR compliant redesign will not only take all brand, value chain, retail and environmental factors into account but encourages recycling and ensures that less waste goes to South Africa’s landfill sites. It is our responsibility as a company that upholds its values and acts as a good corporate citizen to support and encourage compliance.

Our “customized generic” packaging is a range of packaging made from pre-existing moulds, yet customisable in terms of colour and labelling options, offering you the benefit of maintaining a strong brand identity and achieve brand differentiation without having to make costly mould investments or compromise on quality.

With your annual packaging volume not resting on a mould investment decision, you can turn your focus to moving your packaging closer to EPR compliance, be assured that recycling principles are met while enjoying the benefits of a unique shelf presence.
