1 Understand your product and target market

The first step to design food packaging that adapts to any shape or size is to understand your product and target market. What are the characteristics, benefits, and requirements of your food product? What are the preferences, needs, and expectations of your consumers? How do you want to position and differentiate your product in the market? These questions will help you define the purpose, function, and message of your packaging, as well as the best materials, formats, and features to use.

1. Conocer al cliente (identificar sus necesidades y curva de valor). 2. Conocer al producto (características físicas y químicas), esto permitira definir materiales, condiciones de fabricación, controles de procesos, etc. 3. Analizar a la competencia, para identificar puntos diferenciadores que permitan posicionar nuestros productos en los mercados. 4. Pruebas en los clientes de conservación del producto empacado y revision de las areas de MKT.

Designing adaptable food packaging requires a modular approach. Utilize flexible materials that can conform to diverse shapes and sizes. Implement an adjustable closure system for secure sealing. Incorporate customizable labels that accommodate various dimensions. Prioritize user-friendly designs that easily adjust to different packaging needs. This modular strategy ensures versatility, accommodating a range of food product shapes and sizes effectively.

In my experience adapting to the product shape and size brings the packaging material in full contact with the product e.g. a tube of paste. So, when considering adaptation of the packaging to the shape and size of the product then both the product and packaging will share any risk of impact. Therefore this will work for a powder, liquid and a paste that takes up the shape of the container, but is a high risk for a pack of crisps that has pieces that are vulnerable to impact. The same will apply to secondary and tertiary packaging which moves towards cubic shapes, resulting in air spaces between product and final palletised load which is wholly cubic.

1. consider the size of the pallet, crate and box in which the product is going to be packed. 2 calculate and fit the most of the desired volume packages, in the form of the Rectangular cuboid, in the preferred packing unit (pallet, crate, box...). 3. fit desired amount/quantity of the product in the calculated Rectangular cuboid; compress if needed. 4. seal it in the vacuumed plastic packaging (with labels etc. printed on the plastic), or Tetra-Pak, or paper boxes; depends of the product. 5. DO NOT pack in multiple materials if not needed... like some luxe chocolates... first in paper or alu-foil, than in the plastic molded holders and finally in the paper box.

Crafting adaptable food packaging requires innovative, eco-friendly materials that flexibly conform to diverse shapes. Employing adjustable closures, scalable designs, and customizable elements ensures seamless accommodation of various sizes. Leveraging technology like 3D printing enhances tailoring capabilities. A collaborative, interdisciplinary approach involving design, engineering, and sustainability experts prioritizes flexibility and eco-consciousness, enabling the creation of intuitive packaging that effortlessly adapts to any shape or size.

2 Choose the right materials and technologies

The second step to design food packaging that adapts to any shape or size is to choose the right materials and technologies. Depending on your product and market, you may want to use materials that are flexible, biodegradable, recyclable, or smart. For example, flexible materials such as films, pouches, or bags can fit different shapes and sizes, while biodegradable materials such as paper, cardboard, or plant-based plastics can reduce environmental impact. Smart materials such as sensors, indicators, or QR codes can provide information, feedback, or interaction to consumers.

It might be very difficult to design PM To fit with all product shapes and size bit we need to co duct hazard analysis before designing the product PM and considering product safety and food safety in the analysis As well we need to design PM for the product to be matched with the product purpose for use, handling,storage,transportation and leave a positive impact to the customers

Los materiales van estar en función de las características del productos, el tiempo de conservaciones y condiciones de almacenamiento. Por ejemplo: En el caso de alimentos o bebidas podemos utilizar vidrio o hojalata de acero con recubrimientos como barnices. Por otro lado, muchos productos químicos, insumo y materiales de construcción podemos usar papel y dependera del producto, la aplicación barnices o laminas de film plastico que protejerlos de la humedad. Las tendencias en temas de empaques plásticos van a desaparecer, así que si estoy dise?ando el empaque de un producto, lo primera es mirar opciones que permitan una economía circular.

3 Experiment with different formats and features

The third step to design food packaging that adapts to any shape or size is to experiment with different formats and features. You can use formats such as boxes, tubes, or cans that can be resized, reshaped, or stacked according to your product and space. You can also use features such as closures, handles, or spouts that can enhance convenience, functionality, or usability. For example, you can use closures that can be resealed, opened, or torn easily, handles that can be folded, clipped, or snapped, or spouts that can be adjusted, twisted, or squeezed.

4 Test and evaluate your packaging

The fourth step to design food packaging that adapts to any shape or size is to test and evaluate your packaging. You can use methods such as prototyping, simulation, or user testing to check the performance, quality, and appeal of your packaging. You can also use metrics such as durability, shelf life, safety, or satisfaction to measure the effectiveness, efficiency, and attractiveness of your packaging. For example, you can test how your packaging withstands different temperatures, pressures, or impacts, how it preserves the freshness, flavor, or nutrition of your product, or how it attracts, engages, or satisfies your consumers.

5 Optimize and improve your packaging

The fifth step to design food packaging that adapts to any shape or size is to optimize and improve your packaging. You can use feedback, data, or insights from your testing and evaluation to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, or threats of your packaging. You can also use tools such as brainstorming, benchmarking, or analysis to generate ideas, compare options, or make decisions to improve your packaging. For example, you can optimize your packaging by reducing waste, increasing efficiency, or adding value, or improve your packaging by enhancing design, functionality, or sustainability.

Las optimización y mejora de lo empaques, hoy en dia esta asociada a la optimización de materia primera y ademas que formen parte de un proceso de economía circular. Por ejemplo la reducción en los espesores de hojalata y gramajes en los papeles para el empaque de productos. Todo ello sin mermar la curva de valor que perciben nuestros clientes de nuestro producto.

6 Follow the regulations and standards

The sixth and final step to design food packaging that adapts to any shape or size is to follow the regulations and standards. You have to comply with the laws, rules, or guidelines that apply to your product and market, such as food safety, labeling, or recycling. You also have to meet the expectations, demands, or trends of your consumers, such as transparency, convenience, or personalization. For example, you have to follow the regulations and standards for the materials, ingredients, or information that you use in your packaging, as well as the formats, features, or messages that you offer to your consumers.
