Although the scope of this area of the packaging landscape is quite broad, TPS has been effectively innovating across it for more than 20 years. Our years of design experience in this area span a diverse spectrum, from consumer products to hardware & tools to heavy durable goods and medical products. The breadth of knowledge we’ve gained doing this guides our abilities to work directly with your marketing

We engage in critically rigorous engineering practices to guide the sound, structural design of our customers’ packages that must function to protect large and heavy items during shipping. An integral part of this process includes creating working prototypes that can be tested to ensure the prevention of shipping vibration-induced damage. AND—we’re also keenly focused on creating positive customer experiences.

Whether the design specs call for exciting and functional retail packaging for medical devices, or for strict compliance with the federal regulations that mandate how pharmaceuticals must be packaged, TPS has accrued many years of experience working to meet the particular packaging needs of medical companies to help ensure their success.

This often-overlooked area of package design is always a factor in the TPS design process. We look at the standards guides for all major retailers and create shippers with the proper inserts for the long haul in the supply chain and follow this up with the most efficient master carton design. We will sample all of these packages and provide testing where needed for our customers.

Because we facilitate superior graphic and structural design capabilities under one roof, TPS can produce digital files that illustrate in-store shelf displays with great accuracy and detail. These capabilities also enable us to create displays of pallets that depict full graphics systems, as well as 3D Models that visually describe an enormous variety of packaging. This 3D modeling capability also allows us to portray all of a given package’s array of graphic imagery in concert with the display of whatever product it contains. Additionally, TPS can also design detailed animations that visually convey what a given package or packaging system would look like if it was manufactured and distributed.

Although the scope of this area of the packaging landscape is quite broad, TPS has been effectively innovating across it for more than 20 years. Our years of design experience in this area span a diverse spectrum, from popcorn to cough medicine to child safety products. The breadth of knowledge we’ve gained doing this guides our abilities to work directly with your marketing and branding teams to 1) effectively realize crucial aspects of shelf or rack presentation, and to 2) graphically and structurally promote specific novel features of the product. Additionally, we have the ability to create samples that make use of virtually all packaging materials and manufacturing processes currently available, which helps ensure that what we work with you to design and produce will realize its maximum sales potential.

TPS is committed to sustainability in packaging materials and processes and we endeavor to make responsible decisions in our structural design work. Whether we employ molded-pulp, plant-based plastics, source reduction or a host of other strategies, we will show our customers the latest technology backed by realistic design & manufacturing solutions.

Our creative division at TPS will work with your marketing team and create a variety of graphic and branding solutions for any product application. We can begin the process with basic information and copy or specific details as to the target market and translate this into effective and exciting graphic package design. TPS is also quite adept at updating and implementing your existing graphics and we will work with our customers to perfect your products’ brand and message.

This relatively new category in packaging is already a specialty for TPS as we have innovated many package designs for this rapidly growing category. Imagine a package that is simple kraft corrugated with 1-color printing on the outside that opens to a grand 4-6 color display on the inside to showcase your new product to the consumer that has just received their Amazon order.

Do you need or require comps and prototypes that look and feel exactly like production packaging? If the answer to this question is YES, then know that TPS can design and build these for you. We have the capability necessary to create one-off samples, or to operate short production runs that provide the prototypes—as white or full color printed samples—necessary to Facilitate consumer testing. TPS has amassed more than 20 years of experience producing “perfect comps” of virtually all types of package design.

TPS has honed the highly refined design capabilities necessary to create temporary (usually corrugated) and permanent in-store displays that function effectively in virtually all types of retail environments. The fact that our expertise ranges from small table-top displays to full, pallet-sized floor displays allows us to carefully consider how your products should best be merchandised in ways that meet requirements of particular retailers.

TPS will design-and-build to meet the specs of your specific pallet displays. We have the knowledge and capabilities necessary to guide this process from initial package sizing to completing a finished layout that follows the standards guide called for by any of the Big Box retailers. As necessary, we can “back-out” the sizing for the primary package that must guide the configuration of the entire pallet display based on the desired per-pallet sku quantity that is needed and add whatever number of trays are necessary to maximize the use of the cubic space available in a 40” x 48” (or custom) pallet.

We will work with your brand strategy, budget and retail requirements to create unique display products that range from simple powder-coated steel shelf displays to free-standing in-store fixtures that present your products in fantastic and exciting ways to entice the retail customer. With a huge variety of materials and processes, TPS will work with manufacturers early in the design process in order to achieve success for our customers.

TPS will work with our customers to design smaller displays that fit the table-top or counter-top needs in order to facilitate the marketing of the particular products. We always will refer to the standards guides for each retailer and match this with creative designs in printed corrugated (usually E or B -flute) or printed paperboard.

TPS is adept at designing and engineering durable temporary (“Dump”) displays for a variety of retail environments. These types of displays are generally made from corrugated and have overall printed surfaces (Flexo or Litho) or 4/color spot labels and are designed to fit standard retail shelving or floor spaces depending on the retailer’s standards guide.
