OUR CAPABILITIES
Discovery begins with collaborative sessions with our customers to determine the scope of the project and discuss specific goals and requirements. Working together to create the ideal solution for your product comes naturally to our team of design engineers – especially when we combine your understanding of the product and our team’s knowledge and technical background in packaging.
The design stage is where your package begins to take shape. Expertise in materials, machinery and automation, as well as package design, makes 51²è¹Ý the perfect partner for ensuring smooth integration into your production lines. Our technical support team is a valued resource, often traveling to our customers’ facilities to share our expertise in every step of the automation process, including de-nesting, loading and sealing requirements.
Ensuring that production quality parts meet our customer’s expectations is essential. To guarantee requirements are met, 51²è¹Ý utilizes state-of-the-art 3D design/engineering and prototyping to ensure your product will be showcased in a package designed for maximum safety, attractive presentation, and cost-effectiveness. Prototyping helps you to visualize and test how your packaging will look and perform in real life.
Tool fabrication is the next step in our process and is a key element to successful manufacturing. Our in-house tool shop gives us the ability to manage your tooling costs effectively and rapidly turn around production. This is especially important when working on time-sensitive projects.
We use state-of-the-art software, high-speed CNC machines, and experienced tooling engineers to build molds, dies and other tooling components. With these capabilities, we are able to grow with our customers to quickly address project volume increases and product requirement changes.
