Product Considerations
Before selecting the right flexible packaging, we take the time to understand your product and its specific requirements. Certain factors can impact the choice of packaging material and the best pouch option.
- Product Type: Is your product solid, liquid, powder, or perishable?
- Barrier Properties: Does your product require protection from moisture, oxygen, light, or odors? How much?
- Temperature Sensitivity: Is your product sensitive to temperature changes?
- Size and Weight: How big and durable does the packaging need to be?
Design Considerations
Design and display requirements are also key to packaging. You want to make sure your packaging and the materials look great on the shelf and catch your customers’ attention.
- Labeling: Is there enough space for labeling to convey essential product information (logo, tagline, legal info, barcodes, etc.)? Do you need printing capabilities on multiple sides?
- Resealability: Does the product require multiple uses?
- Ease of Use: Is the packaging user-friendly, easy to open, and convenient to handle?
- Retail: Does the product need to stand up on the shelf? Will it be packaged with other items (multi-packs, samples, etc.)
Safety & Quality Considerations
You also want to make sure that your package meets all quality and safety requirements to keep your company and your customers safe
- Sustainability: What eco-friendly materials can you use to reduce the environmental impact?
- Mockup & Proofing: Does the company you’re working with provide mockups and proofs to ensure quality and efficiency?
- Regulatory Compliance: Does the packaging adhere to all relevant regulations and industry standards to ensure legal compliance and consumer safety?
- Supplier Selection: Does the company you’re working with and any of its third-party suppliers have a track record of providing high-quality and compliant materials?
