Where Innovation is More Than a Buzzword

Innovation isn’t a buzzword at the Sustainable Design Lab—it’s our guiding force. As packaging challenges grow more complex and consumer expectations evolve, we know that off-the-shelf solutions won’t cut it. The brands that lead tomorrow are the ones willing to explore, experiment, and build what doesn’t exist yet. That’s why we built the Lab.

Inside our 20,000-square-foot facility, we bring bold ideas to life. Our space is outfitted with a full suite of R&D tools, 3D printers, and advanced prototyping equipment that allow us to test concepts, validate performance, and iterate quickly. We don’t just think about the future of packaging, we create it.

Explore Our Industry-Leading Materials Library

From compostable canisters to molded fiber inserts to digitally printed mono-material pouches, our team of designers, engineers, and sustainability strategists are constantly developing and testing new formats. Some projects start with a question. Others begin as a bold idea from one of our customers. But every innovation shares a single goal: to make packaging smarter, simpler, and more sustainable.
