The Concept Lab

 

Our Concept Lab is a creative, collaborative hub where we apply design thinking to packaging  problems. Our resident team of material experts, packaging specialist and designers transforms fresh concepts and unexpected ideas into solutions for our customers. Exploring possibilities through 3-D renderings and hands-on prototypes, while joining our creative team in a free-flowing exchange of ideas, is, for many of our customers, their favorite part of working with us.
