Packaging Consultancy Services
WH Skinner can offer dedicated design consultancy services from producing innovative space saving, protective packaging design through to cost savings in logistics and minimising your company’s non-recyclable waste and storage.
Packaging Design Consultancy & Engineering
- Designing custom presentation, functional packaging or protective boxes or retail displays to maximise your sales impact whilst protecting your goods from damage and reducing breakage.
- What is the actual tangible cost to you of any damage but also, what is the intangible damage to your reputation?
- We tackle any existing packaging problems and offer packaging technical support.
- We provide cardboard packaging solutions for your company’s individual needs. Are you using the right materials for your packaging? Should you be considering a greener option or is there an opportunity to turn a one-way packaging unit into a long term presentation box?
- Have you had a design produced elsewhere that is generally acceptable but the fit and finish are poor? We can improve your existing designs so that they assemble easily and fit perfectly
Minimising Manufacturing Costs
We look at streamlining your production and packaging.
How easy and quick is it for your operatives to make up/assemble your boxes on the packaging line?
Did you save 6p on the design of your new box but it is costing 9p extra in labour to make up this box?
Are you using excessive or unnecessary materials in dispatch?
We are manufacturing consultants and can cut costs without cutting corners.
Your Company Brand
Have you considered how your choice of point of sale display impacts on your customer’s perception of your brand?
How easily can the retail store dispose of the point of sale display?
Are you using the correct materials for your point of sale display and your brand?
Should you be considering a more environmentally friendly approach or would your sales figures benefit from a point of sale display design with a full coverage print finish, glossy varnish and luxurious feel?
Artwork Specialists
Is your artwork not quite working?
We have vast experience in creating and setting eye-catching artwork that will make your product stand out from the crowd.
Producing great artwork on your packaging will increase sales and visibility of your brand.
Minimising storage costs, maximising value
We will explore options to reduce the number of pallets of packaging that you are storing.
We will also look at any packaging rationalisation opportunities.
If you can reduce the number of stock sizes you will save space and potentially reduce your packaging costs.
Optimising logistics and minimising distribution costs
How easily do your point of sale displays fit the products and pallets?
Would a different point of sale design reduce your distribution costs?
Our point of sale designers will examine every element and present you with the best solutions for your business.

We can look at the cost, aesthetic, logistical, image and legal implications of whichever solution you choose.
Using the latest CAD software and digital prototyping machinery, we can help and guide you through the development process and make sure that we deliver an intelligent design solution that fits your requirements as closely as possible.
