Custom Retail Packaging Prototypes
As any creator of consumer products knows, coming up with the right retail packaging can require just as much consideration and development as the product it holds. Good news: PRG’s services include the prototyping of retail packaging, whether your product is best suited to clear plastic blister packaging, clamshell packaging, or a customized cardboard or cardstock box. The majority of our retail packaging prototyping involves vacuum-formed clamshell and blister packaging, both of which are durable—which translates to ease of shipment—and transparent—which enables the consumer to effortlessly view the product inside.
Blister packaging, which is typically comprised of highly durable PETG or PVC with a thickness of .01-.03 inch, has become an especially popular retail merchandise packaging solution. Custom blister packaging must be engineered from scratch, as it is form-fitted and custom-designed for your unique product, and bonded to what is known as a blister card, which is usually printed with the name of and information about the product. Since they are produced using 3D printing, however, they are convenient and cost-effective to produce, as well as being easy to display on retail shelves.
As noted, PRG can also provide retail packaging prototypes comprised of both cardboard card stock. This means that if your product is best suited to a box—be it a flexible carton such as a tissue box or a more rigid box such as those commonly used to house electronics—we can design and produce a retail packaging prototype that is congruent with your needs.
