Packaging

Packaging is the process of enclosing a product for protection, transportation, storage and sale. Packaging is used for millions of products worldwide from food and apparel to electronics and furniture. Creating packaging that stands out requires creativity, knowledge and experience with different materials such as plastics, cardboards, and foam. Additionally, 3D scanning and 3D printing are valuable technologies that have allowed designers to create complex designs while saving time and cost. These technologies also make it possible to optimize existing packaging for increased profits and reduced waste.

3D Scanning for Packaging Molds

Creating packaging molds for organic or freeform shapes like those of food products can be quite tricky. Most of the time creators of food products do not have a CAD file for the shape of their product, and on top of that many food products are prone to changes caused by temperature or touch. Non-contact 3D Scanning can be used in such instances for capturing the organic or freeform shape of the product in a couple of minutes. Our high-resolution 3D Scanners capture very fine detail for making molds that fit just perfectly. We provide a complete solution from 3D scanning to creating 3D printed molds for use in injection molding machines.

Custom Package Design

Creating a product worth selling is the hard part, but an equally hard part is creating a package design that will attract customers on store shelves. A unique, out-of-the-box design can increase sales of a product by using curiosity to its advantage. People need to buy a product to sell a product, to do that one needs to stand out from the herd on the store shelf. Our team of designers and engineers with their combined experience, creativity and the right software and tools have the ability to create custom designs for your packages.

Solution

Plastic Packaging Prototyping

With the rise and accessibility of 3D printing, prototyping new plastic designs has never been easier. Our high-resolution 3D printers and a wide range of materials with different properties give us the freedom to create prototypes that better match the final product. We also print high-temperature resistant molds for use with plastic injection machines to reduce the cost of machining an aluminum mold. In addition, our 3D scanners help us digitize the customers’ existing design for easy modification and further prototyping.

Optimize Existing Packaging for Efficiency

There are many reasons for optimizing existing packaging such as using less raw material to increase profits, reduce waste and changing materials for other biodegradable options. Packaging can also be optimized to improve functionality and ease of use. We have a team of engineers and designers with the experience and tools needed for optimizing your existing designs.
