The First Step

Unearthing costs, opportunities

The outcomes Trillora produces in the design, production, and delivery stages often start with a packaging audit.

During an audit, Trillora’s experts assess your packaging and entire supply chain to uncover optimization opportunities. This informs our design process, sourcing, and other strategies.

Design with your 

goals in mind

Making a box can be simple, but creating a package design that’s optimized for freight, protects your product, grabs the attention of your customer, and fits within your budget is an art and a science.

Our process includes design and mock-up, client feedback, and validation testing to ensure it meets industry standard safety and performance objectives.

Design Services

Here are the key steps in Trillora’s design process, which we’ve developed to ensure the best
possible outcomes for your packaging and business:

Structural design
Our teams design quickly, conducting product fit, material specification, and prototyping.

Material and ISTA testing
Validation testing and other processes ensure packaging provides protection and is built for international supply chains.

Graphic design and preflighting
We ensure your graphics files are ready for production. This helps reduce any wasted materials at the printer.

Carton suite development
We analyze your supply chain to optimize your carton suite for consistency, efficiency, and cost.

Packaging analysis and DC audit
This process helps us identify key areas for improvement in both your packaging and your warehouses.

LCA (sustainability) analysis
We use data to show sustainability improvements from packaging changes, including CO2 emissions and fresh water usage and savings.

Packaging Types

Trillora designs and produces fiber-based packaging in many key categories. Our engineers and designers
combine the right board specifications and carton dimensions to maximize pallet and container utilization.

Testing to ensure performance

Packaging needs to be designed and optimized to meet the rigors of shipping and logistics.

Although some amount of stress may be unavoidable, proactive planning and testing can minimize the amount of damage that occurs to packages during transit. This involves understanding the specific journey of each product to anticipate potential sources of damage.

Trillora’s testing lab in Shenzhen is equipped to handle many ISTA tests to ensure the packaging we design can withstand the demands of an international supply chain.

Quality checks
and factory prep

Trillora’s work isn’t done when our packaging arrives at your factories. Our team provides on-site technical support and assembly instructions.

We also provide new supplier training, corrective and preventative action management, and guidance on carton handling, stacking and loading.

Packaging oversight

Trillora is much more than a packaging provider. Our large and experienced team acts as your full-service packaging department. We manage design, sourcing and procurement, quality assurance, customer service, sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and more.

Our goal is to provide you with consistent, quality packaging that optimizes your operations, saves money, lowers packaging-focused headcount, and reduces headaches too.

Monitoring packaging quality

OEM-sourced packaging often suffers from varying quality, dimensions and designs. Trillora engineers packaging that uses the right materials for both cost and performance. Our experts also ensure that suppliers are producing packaging of consistent size and quality across regions for customers, which alleviates challenges in the supply chain.

Sustainability and transparency

Trillora uses a lifecycle analysis tool to evaluate the difference between a customer’s existing packaging and the new designs we develop. Using inputs such as material type, material dimensions, number of units produced, and proposed replacement designs and materials, the LCA tool calculates reductions in CO2 emissions and fresh water usage for each option.
