Adding value by design

Supported by sophisticated technologies such as the PackRight suite of tools, the design of corrugated packaging remains a craft-based skill requiring very high levels of knowledge and judgement as well as a whole range of practical abilities.

DS Smith Packaging’s award-winning designers are some of the most highly skilled in the industry with one single aim – to use design to add value by reducing your costs, increasing your sales and improving your profitability.

Our designers are grounded in customers’ needs making line visits and risk assessments at customers’ sites and engaging in face to face discussions with customers to detail all the issues and foreseeable problems.

Our design services include in-house testing using our extensive laboratories as well as on-machine and transit trials.

Our Packaging Systems experts also offer advice on, and provision of, specific machinery to improve packing lines.
