We are thrilled to introduce this state-of-the-art facility to more customers in the region. ” 

Like the other Pack Studios around the world, Pack Studios Singapore is also equipped with a collaboration room to inspire solution-based thinking, and leading laboratory facilities equipped with tools for material development, film fabrication and testing equipment to validate packaging application. The center's capabilities include: state-of-the-art predictive modeling of flexible packaging; virtual rendering / visualization of new pouch designs and shapes; rapid prototyping of Stand Up Pouches (SUP); several production class Cast Film & Lamination lines; several blow film, hooder and wrap lines; vertical and horizontal sealer lines; and collaboration rooms with assistance in information and cutting edge technologies
