Packaging Technical Consulting
We offer rapid-response troubleshooting, technical investigations, pack and material performance assessments. We are also experts in developing bespoke test methods and equipment to solve problems.
Our expertise, combined with comprehensive laboratory facilities, enable us to adopt an innovative approach to challenging projects. We provide impartial advice and testing to help companies who need an independent assessment of their material, pack or product.
When standard test methods are either not available or suitable for measuring the required properties or performance of a material, pack or product, Smither can develop a bespoke test method and equipment to cover a range of different scenarios.
Common Investigation Themes
Commonly we will perform an investigation around one of the following themes:
- Determining why packs fail
- Resolving sub-standard packaging line performance
- Reasons for poor quality print in packaging
- Packaging materials analysis and benchmarking
- Label and decoration issues
- Reducing packaging costs
- Improving the effectiveness of packaging
- Specification development
Smither have high speed video recording and image capture equipment to ensure the best possible data capture and analysis, whereby our highly skilled experts are able to form innovative solutions to unique problems.
