The basics of structural packaging design

Structural packaging design defines how a package is built and how its parts work together. It considers product fit, opening, assembly, and handling as well as the visible form.

  • Start with reliable measurements and the filled or assembled product.
  • Make a prototype to check folds, clearances, and access to the contents.
  • Confirm the testing needed for protection or other performance claims rather than inferring them from a mockup.
