Packaging & Material Development

Advanced Food Packaging Engineering,
Validation & Optimization Programs

01
CAD Design
145 mm Width: 90 mm 3D PROTOTYPE

Concept to Prototype

Packaging Development

Design custom functional packaging structures matching food shelf-life constraints and supply chain challenges. We develop mechanical layouts, 3D digital prototypes, and structural sizing metrics to optimize safety and shipping logistics.

02
Polymer & Substrate Engineering

Packaging Material Selection

Select the optimal packaging substrates (PET, PP, paperboard, bioplastics, or barrier laminates) based on food contact safety, cost, and physical barrier requirements. We align properties to prevent chemical migration and product-packaging interaction.

Material Stack
Outer layer: PET (12 µm) – Print Carrier Adhesive layer (2.5 g/m²) Barrier layer: EVOH (15 µm) – O2 Barrier Adhesive layer (2.5 g/m²) Inner layer: LLDPE (50 µm) – Food Contact Total Thickness: 82 µm (Migration Compliant)

03
Validation
Burst test 58 kPa Seal checks ✓ ASTM F88 (Passed) ✓ ASTM F2096 (Passed) ✓ Dye Pen (Passed) ✓ Vacuum Hold (Passed)

Seal Integrity & Safety Testing

Packaging Validation

Validate packaging seals and structural integrity under stress. We test burst strength, vacuum retention, dye penetration, and seal strength to prevent leakages and microbial contamination.

04
Permeation Rate Controls

Barrier Property Assessment

Measure and optimize water vapor transmission rates (WVTR) and oxygen transmission rates (OTR). We ensure packaging films provide the precise gas barriers needed to preserve food freshness and block contaminants.

Barrier OTR/WVTR
MEMBRANE OTR 0.8 cc/m² WVTR 1.2 g/m²

05
Transit/Stress
ASTM D4169 Transit Compression Peak Load: 420 kg Deflection: 4.2 mm PASS (ISTA-3A)

Stress & Transit Simulation

Packaging Performance Evaluation

Evaluate packaging performance through simulated transit hazards, compression loads, drop tests, and vibration analysis. We ensure your cases, pallets, and primary packs survive the supply chain shipping cycle intact.

06
Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable Substrates

Sustainable Packaging Solutions

Transition to circular packaging models, compostable laminates, monomaterial recyclable films, and PCR (post-consumer recycled) resins. We reduce packaging carbon footprints without compromising barrier safety.

Sustainability
100% RECYCLABLE Eco Metrics 🌿 PLA / Paper pulp 📉 CO₂ Saved: -38% ⚡ Energy Reduction 🌿 Plastic-Free label

07
Stability
Product Quality Retention (30°C / 75% RH) Standard (Fail at 90d) Active/MAP (Safe at 180d) +90 Days Extended

Interactive Product-Package Stability

Shelf-Life Packaging Studies

Conduct real-time and accelerated shelf-life studies in custom environmental chambers. We monitor active ingredient degradation, moisture ingress, lipid oxidation, and sensory shifts to determine package limits.

08
Material Reduction & Cost Efficiency

Packaging Optimization

Optimize packaging configurations to minimize plastic thickness, reduce unnecessary head-space, and design compact transit cases. We maximize shipping space, lower carbon footprint, and reduce material costs.

Optimization
Before (Large headspace) After (-20% size) Savings Index ✓ Weight: -15% plastic ✓ Pallet Yield: +25% ✓ Headspace: Reduced Volumetric: 96% efficient
