Packaging format

Specialty Flexible Packaging

Some packaging problems require a structure, feature or format that is not sitting in a catalog. Packaging HQ brings the brand, production team, co-manufacturer and material partners together to define and validate the solution.

PROJECT FOCUSStart with the problem or opportunity.
Packaging HQ branded flexible packaging formats and material finishes
Specialty Flexible Packaging

Format, materials, print, and finish are developed around the product, production requirements, distribution, and brand.

What the specification must resolve

What to confirm before production.

Specialty projects may involve unusual products, dispensing, distribution, geometry or production constraints. The development plan should define the job, list the unknowns and choose the first test before committing to a final structure.

Key considerations
  • The failure or opportunity to solve
  • Product and package interaction
  • Production and converting constraints
  • Testing and approval plan
Common applications
  • Unusual products
  • Challenging distribution
  • Custom features
  • New package concepts

Where projects go off track

Confirm these details early.

01

Trying to solve every variable in the first prototype

02

Selecting materials before defining the failure mechanism

03

Skipping ownership and approval criteria for trials

01Product, fill and performance target
02Filling line, dimensions and material inputs
03Samples, trials, graphics and final approval

A common question

How does a custom packaging project begin?

Start with the product, current package or concept, production method, required experience, failure or opportunity, quantities and the people who must approve the result.
