Simulation

What’s peace of mind worth?​
Simulate it before you build it. No surprises. No setbacks. Just smart decisions, made early.

For visionary engineers and R&D innovators, sustainability champions, and brand leaders driving faster, smarter packaging breakthroughs.

Have a challenge?
Let’s simulate the solution.

Design better, faster

    • Virtual prototyping for process, thickness, weight, and performance evaluation

    • Advanced lightweighting to optimise preform design for weight, performance, and efficiency

    • Bottle structural design to meet functional and performance specifications

    • Preform harmonisation across product portfolios for consistent quality

Build trust through precision

    • Material model calibration for high-fidelity simulation results

    • Material substitution analysis to compare processability and performance

    • Accurate simulation-driven performance validation before physical trials

    • Data-driven design refinement using simulation insights

SIMULATION FAQ’S

  • Just an idea and a goal. We can work with CAD files, physical samples, sketches — whatever you have. Once we understand what you're trying to achieve, we’ll guide you through the rest. No complex onboarding or setup required.

  • Using our unique testing methods you can make informed decisions that will not compromise the final bottle performance.
