The Timing

Whether you are working on a new product development or your product has been in market for years, it can be worth testing the packaging throughout its life cycle to ensure it is:

  • fit for purpose for the rigours of its supply chain, conditions and the handling it will experience.
  • still being manufactured to the same standards you first approved.
  • being made as efficiently as possible, making the most of both your money and the materials used.
  • presenting your product to the standards you expect.
