Design & Engineering Services

Packaging Solutions for Every Need

Our design & engineering services are built around one mission: solving packaging challenges. Whether you’re looking to reduce costs, speed up production, improve product protection, or refresh your packaging design, our team thrives on finding creative, effective solutions for you. We can improve your current packaging or start from scratch and design new packaging that keeps your products protected from shipping preparation to unboxing.

Our focus is on more than just engineering a box; we design entire packaging systems to address everything from assembly line bottlenecks to securing products for safe shipping. By visiting your facility, observing your processes, and listening to your team’s concerns, we identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce frustration, and simplify packaging operations. With decades of experience across diverse industries, our team offers insight that helps you package smarter, not harder.

Types of Packaging We Design & Engineer

Our Design & Engineering team uses Artios CAD, Kongsberg Sample Tables, compression and drop test equipment, and advanced analysis software like CAPE and Best Load to create packaging built for real-world conditions. Using these tools, we calculate carton strength requirements to ensure every design is durable, reliable, and optimized for its storage and shipping environment. We specialize in:

Our corrugated boxes are cost-effective, highly durable, and designed to fulfill your unique needs. They are engineered to withstand stacking, shipping, and handling stresses while keeping your products safe. With options for custom printing and structural design, corrugated boxes can also serve as a powerful branding tool.

We design foam inserts that are custom-cut and engineered to provide maximum cushioning for fragile, sensitive, and high-value items. This ensures products arrive intact, even after long-distance shipping or rough handling. Our foam solutions can be tailored to meet precise product dimensions, giving both protection and efficiency in packaging space.

Built for strength and durability, our wood shipping solutions are ideal for transporting large orders and industrial goods. We can design and fabricate pallets, crates, and reels, providing you with a secure way to ship your goods. Using advanced software like Best Pallet, we calculate the strength requirements of each pallet or crate to ensure it performs in the toughest shipping environments while protecting valuable cargo.

As a full-service packaging company, we also offer branded packaging design. Whether you need customer-ready retail packaging or custom corrugated pop-up displays, we can deliver. Our team will work with you to identify your branding and packaging goals to ensure the end product is exactly what you need. Through custom graphics, innovative design, and high-quality printing, we help your brand stand out and attract consumer attention.

For unique packaging challenges, we use a combination of materials and innovative ideas to deliver highly specialized solutions. These hybrid designs provide the best of multiple worlds—structural integrity, cushioning, cost efficiency, and brand alignment.

Our Process

Our approach is collaborative, hands-on, and results-driven. Every project follows a proven path:

Every successful packaging solution begins with understanding. Our team takes the time to learn about your product, your current packaging methods, and the challenges you’re facing. This often includes on-site visits to see your process, from manufacturing to shipping preparation, and identify where bottlenecks or frustrations occur. By asking the right questions and carefully observing, we uncover insights that help us design packaging that not only protects your product but also improves your operations.

Once we fully understand your needs, our Design & Engineering team begins brainstorming creative solutions. Using our extensive knowledge of materials, processes, and industry best practices, we develop packaging concepts tailored to your specific challenges. Whether it’s improving product protection, reducing material costs, or speeding up the packaging process, our concepts are designed with efficiency and practicality in mind. Collaboration is key—our sales, design, production, and customer service teams all work together to ensure that every idea aligns with your goals.

Great ideas need to be proven, which is why we invest heavily in prototyping and testing. Using advanced tools such as Artios CAD and Kongsberg sample tables, we create precise prototypes. From there, we run tests like drop testing, box compression, and edge crush testing to validate performance under real-world conditions. This step ensures that your final packaging not only looks good on paper but delivers the strength and reliability your product requires.

Before any design moves into full-scale production, our production team reviews it for efficiency and manufacturability. This step is critical for balancing performance and cost. We actively look for opportunities to reduce materials and simplify processes without sacrificing protection or quality. By aligning our designs with manufacturing best practices, we ensure that you receive packaging that is both high-performing and cost-effective.

Our job doesn’t end once your packaging is delivered—it’s only the beginning of an ongoing partnership. After launch, we monitor how the packaging performs in your operations and in transit, making adjustments as needed to ensure continued success. If your business grows, your products change, or new challenges arise, our team is ready to adapt your packaging to meet those evolving needs as well.
