Rapid Prototyping for Labels & Packaging

Need a temperature-sensitive label that changes colour when cold? A pouch with the perfect barrier for product freshness? Through prototype and R&D label services, brands can explore cutting-edge materials, run lab and aging tests, and confirm packaging performs in real-world conditions before going to market. With rapid turnaround times and zero red tape, the process enables faster innovation without delaying go-to-market timelines.

Applied R&D for Custom Labels & Packaging  

Existing labels and packaging can be tweaked, re-engineered, and optimized to meet precise performance and production requirements. R&D services can extend shelf life, solve labelling application or filling challenges, or integrate smart features like RFID. The result? Greater production efficiency, improved labelling performance, or reduced total applied label costs.
