We cover everything from plastics, tooling techniques & types, closure systems, labels & labelling, through packaging design & development, to project management. Please ask for more information.
Market Research
We can organise, on your behalf, both quantitative & qualitative market research. This could involve product testing sessions, focus groups, ethnographic research, ergonomic studies, individual interviews and report writing.
