Solutions — 05 · Packaging & Commercialization
From bulk product to a SKU that is ready to sell.
We specify, source and coordinate primary and secondary packaging so the product is protected, runs on the filling line and arrives in a format that suits its sales channels.
Context
Packaging is a technical and commercial decision, not only a design one.
Container, closure, film, desiccant and carton choices affect shelf life, filling speed, shipping cost and how the product performs on a retail shelf or in an e-commerce parcel. Packaging chosen for appearance alone can create stability issues, line incompatibilities or unexpected component MOQs.
We align packaging with the formula, the manufacturing partner's equipment and the brand's channels — and coordinate components, artwork and timing so everything is on site when production starts. The result is a commercially ready SKU rather than a finished batch waiting for a missing label.
What's included
Scope of the service.
- 01
Format selection
Bottles, jars, pouches, blisters, stick packs or tubs evaluated for the product, the dose and the channel.
- 02
Component specification and sourcing
Containers, closures, labels, cartons, films and inserts specified and sourced, with MOQs and lead times built into the plan.
- 03
Line compatibility
Formats and components checked against the manufacturing partner's filling, sealing and labelling equipment.
- 04
Artwork and print coordination
Artwork files, print specifications and proofs coordinated between the brand, printers and the manufacturing partner.
- 05
Secondary packaging and palletisation
Shipper cartons, case counts and pallet configuration defined for retail, wholesale or e-commerce.
- 06
Launch coordination
Component deliveries timed so production and launch dates hold.
When clients use it
Typical situations.
- A new SKU
- A new product needs its full packaging specification, component suppliers and artwork process in place.
- Repackaging
- An existing product moves to a new format, pack size or material.
- Entering a new channel
- A move from online to retail — or the reverse — changes requirements for shelf presence, case packs and transit protection.
- Material review
- Packaging is reassessed for recyclability, weight or cost, without compromising product protection.
Packaging decision structure
Four questions decide the pack.
Presentation matters, but it is the last of four checks — a pack that looks right and fails on the others costs more later.
01 — Protection
Does the pack keep the product within specification?
- Moisture and oxygen barrier
- Light sensitivity
- Desiccant or liner needs
02 — Filling compatibility
Can the chosen line fill and close it reliably?
- Line format and speed
- Closure and sealing
- Fill weight accuracy
03 — Channel
Does it suit how the product is sold and shipped?
- Retail, e-commerce or pharmacy
- Transit and shelf requirements
- Shipper and pallet fit
04 — Presentation
Does it carry the brand and the required information?
- Label area and legibility
- Material and finish
- Sustainability expectations
Workflow
How the work runs.
- Step 01
Define
Format, materials and channel requirements agreed against the product specification.
- Step 02
Source
Components quoted, samples reviewed and MOQs confirmed.
- Step 03
Validate
Line fit and product protection confirmed with the manufacturing partner.
- Step 04
Artwork
Files finalised, proofs approved and print scheduled.
- Step 05
Deliver
Components delivered to production in time for the booked slot.
Key decision factors
The trade-offs we help you weigh.
There is rarely one correct answer. We make the implications visible so decisions are made deliberately.
Barrier versus recyclability
Mono-material or recyclable formats may offer less moisture or oxygen protection — critical for some actives.
Stock versus custom components
Custom shapes and closures differentiate the brand but add tooling cost, lead time and higher MOQs.
Pack size versus logistics
Larger packs lower cost per serving but increase freight, storage and price-point considerations.
Print finish versus minimum run
Premium print processes often require larger minimum quantities, affecting cash and obsolescence risk.
Related capabilities
Dosage forms frequently involved.
Operational note
Packaging decided early.
Resolving format, components and artwork early prevents last-minute delays, rework and stability issues at launch.
