Bringing CPG packaging ideas to life through design excellence

Jabil Packaging Solutions works with the world’s leading consumer packaged goods brands to realize new packaging formats that win on the shelf and online. Our tenured designers act as extensions of your team, considering changing consumer behavior and transforming that information into innovations that disrupt marketplaces and attract new consumers. We can take a back of the napkin drawing, turn it into a concept, and advance it through testing, validation, and production – all under one roof. Jabil customers instantly gain access to industry leading design talent with expertise in conceptual engineering, user experience, material science and much more. Our vantage point across multiple Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) verticals and an enterprise history in electronics integration and device assembly, gives our customers a unique edge in the pursuit of next-generation packaging formats.

Ideation & Conceptualization

While some brands approach us with well-defined product concepts, many Jabil customers look to us for collaboration during early stage ideation. Whether you need fresh ideas to meet your sustainability goals or have identified a new consumer behavior trend that should be capitalized on, our team can help you refine the problem statement and bring the idea to life. Leverage our design experts for real-time brainstorming sessions, hand-drawn sketches, alternative material recommendations, verbal description development, CAD mock-ups and more. Engaging in these early exploratory activities helps our customers prioritize the concepts with the highest return on investment.

Concept Refinement

Once the field of ideas has been narrowed to a few, high impact concepts, we can begin to refine the details with the development of packaging prototypes. These prototypes can include 3D printed models or detailed digital mock-ups that can be tested through a variety of different technical processes. Mold flow analysis allows us to understand how a mold will perform during the injection molding process and how the mold design will impact longevity as the tool ages. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulates stresses, temperature changes and shocks to demonstrate how a molded part will perform in real-world environments. CT scanning provides virtual cross-sectioning of physical products, allowing for the analysis of internal features without physical damage. These critical tests allow for course correction in mold performance characteristics before investing in physical tooling. Design for Manufacturing (DFM) is employed for concepts with a high potential for commercialization. DFM answers questions involving the final mold design, mold making location, mold action and scalability options for future growth.

Prototype Development

Once a concept has been refined and the design has been finalized in solid modeling software, a single cavity tool is developed to verify mold performance. This prototype mold ensures that the part performs exactly to spec while maintaining the desired grip, texture and color that will resonate with end consumers. Prototype molds can be tested across any of Jabil’s North American or European facilities. A successful prototype mold test allows customers to move forward with the development of manufacturing molds that are capable of achieving industry leading cavitation and cycle times.
