Value Engineering
Enhancing Efficiency and Environmental Impact
Introduction:
This project aimed to value engineer current packaging design by reducing material usage, thus enhancing sustainability, reducing costs, and simplifying assembly.
This project aimed to value engineer current packaging design by reducing material usage, thus enhancing sustainability, reducing costs, and simplifying assembly.
Objective:
The primary objective was to reduce costs while simultaneously addressing environmental concerns associated with packaging waste and assembly efficiency. By implementing a comprehensive redesign approach, the project sought to create a more efficient packaging solution without compromising on quality or performance.

Key Innovations:
Structural Optimization: Through meticulous redesign, the packaging structure was streamlined to eliminate unnecessary inserts and reduce overall material usage.
Printing Process: Working with suppliers, the printing method was changed to digital printing, eliminating the need for print plates and reducing production lead times and set up costs.
Assembly Simplification: Redesigned components were engineered for easy assembly, minimizing production time and labor costs.
