Product development for bags, sacks and films
Not every sourcing project starts with a finished standard product. Often it is about further developing existing products, exploring new material solutions or turning a product idea into a workable specification together with suitable production partners.
packconsult supports the development and further development of bags, sacks, pouches and films from the first idea to a workable specification. In doing so, we combine your requirements with the technical experience of our partner factories and our knowledge of materials, production possibilities and market trends.
Exploring new product ideas and technical possibilities
Our partner factories regularly develop new product ideas, material solutions and technical approaches. packconsult can give you early access to these developments, including technical details, possible fields of application and initial pricing indications.
This gives you insight into product possibilities that may be of interest for your range, your customer requirements or your market position. Depending on the product and the agreement, this may also create the opportunity to offer a new product early or exclusively in your sales market.
Further developing existing products in a targeted way
Product development does not always mean creating an entirely new product. Often it is about improving existing bags, sacks or films. This can concern material, thickness, format, processing, printing, packaging unit, recycled content or functional properties.
Together with you and the suitable production partners, packconsult assesses which adjustments are technically sensible and economically feasible. On this basis, existing product specifications can be optimised or new variants developed. To make sure new or further-developed products are delivered reliably, an on-site inspection can check material, processing and finish.
Relevant for individual requirements and new markets
This service is particularly relevant when a standard product is not enough, new customer requirements have to be met or you want to develop your range in a targeted way.
For sustainability requirements, higher recycled content, new closure solutions, changed material properties or special packaging formats, too, structured product development can make sense. It gives you more clarity about which solutions are technically possible and which production partners are an option for delivery. New materials, recycled content or sustainability requirements can have an impact on the product specification — more on this under Sustainability and Compliance.
From idea to workable product specification
packconsult supports the alignment between you and the production partners. Requirements are clarified, technical possibilities assessed and the relevant key data for manufacturing brought together.
The aim is a clear product specification that can serve as the basis for quotation, sampling, production and quality control. In this way, an idea or an optimisation wish becomes a concrete sourcing project. When a product idea becomes a concrete sourcing project, structured consulting and project support from the outset helps.
