The ideal packaging is environmentally friendly, protects its contents, is easy to transport and store, and has a look and feel customers love.
That’s a lot to get right. Fortunately, HAVI’s experience in packaging concept development helps us learn your supply chain and your customers’ demands, in depth. We turn the resulting insights into packaging that makes a strong first impression and nurtures lasting loyalty.

PACKAGING DESIGN FROM CONCEPT TO END-OF-LIFE
Successful packaging design development is complex work. In packaging development, insular thinking and disconnected execution can drive up costs and leave consumers taking a second look at your competitors. That’s why HAVI takes an integrated approach that lets you realize a bold vision for your packaging solutions. We love a creative packaging design challenge, but we look at the product development process from every relevant viewpoint.
- Brand Activation - We put your brand at the heart of our concept development process, producing designs that increase brand differentiation and engagement.
- Consumer Insights - Our research capabilities are packaging-specific. They’re designed by packaging professionals for informing packaging design work. We leverage both primary and secondary research to generate proprietary insights and ultimately to connect with your customer’s needs.
- Product Positioning - We bring together an understanding of consumers, the channels where they can be reached, the retail industry, the latest packaging innovations and technology, and sustainability. The resulting designs give you an advantage over your competitors and yield real business results.
From Graphic Design to Product Engineering
Many product packaging companies offer graphic design, and many produce attractive work. Behind the graphics the customer sees, there are a whole range of decisions about costs, materials, and function that are invisible to the eye. HAVI takes a holistic approach to packaging and supports development from four unique perspectives:
- Artwork Design & Production - We produce designs that engage all the senses, balancing pragmatism and creativity.
- Environmental Engineering - We use our packaging sustainability expertise to design with end-of-life in mind. Our global network and associations with leading sustainability organizations reduce the environmental footprint of your packaging. That reduces costs and helps you to document and demonstrate environmental improvements.
- Structural Design - We challenge conventional wisdom and question assumptions, finding design solutions that are genuinely new.
- Functional Engineering - We are relentlessly solution-driven, finding innovative ways to solve problems, constantly monitoring the total cost of design, all while keeping in mind the manufacturability of your custom package.
