PACKAGE DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES
The four stages of package design that should be part
of your process are:
• Define requirements
• Create design brief
• Develop design
• Test design

DEFINE REQUIREMENTS
• This first step will set the tone. It’s where you should bring all of the
“desirables” into the conversation. Discuss what qualities the package must
have to be successful and document them using words (not numbers) at this
point. These qualities can be defined by: type of food, shelf life, physical
state, sales objectives, market research, focus groups, usability analysis,
sustainability drivers, etc.

DEFINE REQUIREMENTS
❖To contain food
❖To protect from spoiling
❖The Time for transportation
❖Physical state of Food
❖Physical conditions like
Temperature, etc.
❖Ease of Access & Use

CREATE DESIGN BRIEF
• This is the stage where numerical targets and
tolerances are developed based on design
requirements. Test methods and qualities also need
to be agreed upon.
• As an example, to meet pallet stability
requirements, a vertical load specification may be
needed for the individual package, along with the
tolerance and the procedure to be used for testing.

DEVELOP DESIGN
• You are finally ready to begin making
an actual design for a container using
the dimensional targets in the design
brief. The goal is to design a robust
package that can be made consistently,
but not increase the package cost due to
over specification.

TEST DESIGN
• First, verify that the design meets the specifications in the brief
using the tests defined there. The tests must mimic
real-world use and environments, and challenge the
design’s ability to meet specifications under those
conditions. The tests could be either computer simulations or
practical testing on sample containers. Second, validate that
the requirements are met by the package using line or transport
trials with real containers.
