Existing packaging optimization
Achieve maximum cost-effectiveness
According to the Joint Industry Unsaleables Report, improper packaging is responsible for a 2% loss in companies’ net sales. This loss originates in incorrect assessment of packaging needs, frequently resulting in under or over-packaging.
Following a certified scientific methodology based on simulations and adapted to your environment, our laboratory experts determine the optimization point of your packaging process and implement the best solution.

Banning of certain single-use plastics: how to follow through?
With the growing need to reduce the environmental footprint of individuals and businesses, Canada recently announced that it is adjusting its plastics regulations. In order to reduce the consumption of polluting materials, the government will ban the manufacture, sale and import of components deemed harmful to the environment by 2025.
The entry into force of this regulation is a golden opportunity for your company to review and optimize your packaging. In addition to making you more eco-responsible, this revision could help you reduce your expenses.
