Packaging Development Process

Research –

During this phase, we review existing and new designs to determine cost savings, sustainability, manufacturability, and more. We’ll discuss your packaging goals before moving on to developing and refining ideas.

Concept Development –

At this point, our packaging design and development team reviews the design and then relies on technological software to establish a lightweight design with desirable form, fit, and function. Visualization tools help you understand the possible product outcomes.

Part Design Review (PDR) & Rapid Prototyping –

 Before releasing the design, we review all the elements to ensure manufacturability. Then, we use rapid prototype 3D samples to test the concept.

Presentation –

We functionally test and then show the working prototype to the client.

An Industry-Leading Innovator Among Plastic Packaging Companies

Why has The Plastek Group earned a reputation for its custom plastic packaging design and development services? We have dedicated ourselves to constructing the most robust, appealing, and highest-quality plastic components and products in the business. Because we operate as a family business, we value communication, collaboration, and trust. As a result, you benefit from our “team concept” philosophy.

In our eyes, teams deliver the best outcomes. When you entrust us to engineer new injection molding packaging solutions for your business, we use a team approach to go from idea to prototype. Harnessing the power of a team ensures a better solution, as well as one that matches our commitment to sustainability, wellness, and safety.

Top-Shelf Tools and Technologies

We continuously invest in the latest technologies to achieve project goals. Currently, the programs we rely upon to produce winning package design and development projects are:

  • PTC Creo 8.0: This tool enables us to design multicomponent packages and has been a core system at The Plastek Group for decades. PTC Creo 8.0 helps us maintain our vast database of product and tool designs, as well as making file retrieval and transfer simpler and faster.
  • Luxion Keyshot 11: With Luxion Keyshot 11, we can create photo-realistic images that help you see a new package design’s shelf appearance and function.
  • Autodesk Moldflow 2023: This software works as a mold filling analysis tool, providing information on gate locations, optimal processes, cooling, and more. Moldflow 2023’s incredible analysis functions assist in catching anomalies early in the design and development process.
  • Stratasys: The Stratasys 3D printing solution on-site ensures that we can rapidly build prototype molds in three different colors and print products with labels. Get samples in hours instead of days.
