DESIGN MANAGEMENT (PACKAGING DEVELOPMENT)

DELTA ASSISTS YOU IN OPTIMAL PACKAGING DEVELOPMENT.

As a holistic packaging service provider, DELTA Packaging deals with substantially more complex matters than the question “Standard box or structured packaging?”

Constantly increasing demands for packaging are making careful packaging development an evermore important and complex task.

This is more than just a matter of taking into account the requirements of the packaged goods. Equally important are the needs of the manufacturer, the carrier and the recipient. Knowledge of the packaging process, the rigours of transportation and optimal handling are all incorporated in the packaging development process.

MARKET ANALYSIS ON OPTIMAL PACKAGING DEVELOPMENT

First, there is an analysis of the market and supply chain of the customer. In this, it is necessary to define the requirements of the producer, trade and consumers in order to be able to formulate a clear development objective. This is followed by the creative search for solutions, the producing of designs and sketches and the production of prototypes. In a testing phase, the results arrived at in this way are examined for their suitability and performance, in order to be able to select the best packaging option. Finally, there is the validation phase, which involves even more intensive testing of the selected packaging, to ensure that this solution will also be able to withstand the demands of actual use.

A series of challenges are met with in the context of this finding process: What expectations does the customer have with respect to packaging? What stresses are the goods subjected to in transportation? Are specific characteristics of the product to be taken into account? Is individual or multiple packaging necessary and is it to be non-refillable or refillable? What requirements exist regarding the necessary pack density and is the packaging process manual or automated? How can the packaging be disposed of and what other environmental factors need to be taken into account?

DEVELOPMENT OF PRODUCT-SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS

At the end of the development process there are product-specific solutions that ensure that temperature-sensitive materials are not spoilt in transportation and storage, fragile goods are protected and food safety can be guaranteed. At the same time, good packaging development ensures high user utility which can include simple handling, a low weight or space-saving disposal. By using various materials we can thus adapt packaging to the widest variety of needs.

The expense of thorough packaging development proves worthwhile in this process. Because in this phase, with good planning, an optimal cost-benefit ratio can be achieved, which pays off in hard cash.
