Packaging Selection
Selection of suitable jars, tubes, bottles, airless systems, pumps or other formats to match the product and application.
Packaging & Design
Packaging that protects.
Design that makes your brand visible.
Packaging shapes the first impression, influences application and must be technically compatible with the product. PLCC supports you from selecting suitable packaging solutions through materials, colours and finishes to production-ready artwork.
Formats
Jars, tubes, bottles, airless and pump systems
Materials
Glass, plastic and other suitable solutions
Design
Colour, decoration, finishes and artwork
Aligned
With formulation, application, production and market
The first impression is only the beginning
Good packaging combines brand, function and feasibility.
Packaging needs to look premium, be safe and intuitive to use and suit the formulation. At the same time, material, decoration and format influence commercial viability and the subsequent production process.
That is why we do not treat packaging as a downstream design step, but as an integral part of product development. This creates solutions that are visually compelling and technically viable.
- Brand impact and recognition
- Product protection and appropriate dosing
- Compatibility with formulation and filling process
- Fit with target audience, sales channels and price positioning
Scope of Services
From packaging selection to production-ready design.
Depending on the project, we provide individual packaging modules or support the full development in coordination with formulation, quality and production.
Material & Feel
Evaluation of glass, plastic, surfaces and other options based on brand impact, function, budget and project framework.
Dosing & Application
Alignment of opening, pump, pipette or dispenser with texture, dosage, product protection and intended application experience.
Colour & Design Concept
Development of a consistent visual language that supports the positioning, product range and recognition of your brand.
Decoration & Finishing
Assessment of suitable options such as printing, hot foil, matt finishes, soft touch, embossing and other decorative techniques.
Artwork & Print Data
Coordination of layout, mandatory information and technical data through to the final, production-ready implementation.
Packaging Routes
Proven base or more highly customised solution?
Not every project requires completely new packaging. Together, we assess which level of customisation fits the brand, budget and timing.
Efficient and on-brand
Customise proven packaging
A suitable existing package is consistently adapted to your brand world through colour, decoration, labels, artwork and finishes.
- Predictable development route
- Clear selection of suitable formats
- Custom brand and design language
- Works well with ready-to-go projects
Greater differentiation
Develop a distinctive packaging solution
For a more distinctive brand impact, we assess special formats, materials, components and finishes within the technical and commercial possibilities.
- More differentiated brand presentation
- Custom material and format selection
- Early assessment of feasibility and quantities
- Close coordination with product and production
In the showroom in Karlsfeld, you can compare packaging, materials, surfaces and product samples directly and evaluate them together with us.
Explore the showroomSelection Criteria
What really matters when selecting packaging.
The most beautiful packaging is only the right choice if it is also functional, compatible and commercially suitable for the project.
Formulation
Viscosity, ingredients and product protection influence the material and dosing system.
Application
Handling, dosage and usage context shape the product experience.
Brand & Sales
Positioning, shelf impact, e-commerce and target audience determine the presentation.
Quantity & Budget
Components, decoration and special requirements need to fit the commercial framework.
Process
Five steps to production-ready packaging.
Briefing
We clarify the brand, product, application, sales channels, budget and desired design direction.
Selection
Suitable formats, materials, components and potential finishes are narrowed down.
Samples & Compatibility
Packaging samples are evaluated and aligned with formulation, dosage and filling.
Artwork & Labelling
Design, mandatory information, claims and technical print data are finally coordinated.
Approval & Implementation
After final approval, the packaging is prepared for manufacturing and filling.
Connected Services
Packaging is never developed in isolation.
Several project areas work together to ensure safe and market-ready implementation.

What should be considered for packaging and design?
We answer further general questions about development, production and collaboration in the central FAQ.
View all FAQsWhich packaging formats are possible?
Depending on the product, options include jars, tubes, bottles, airless dispensers, pump systems or pipette solutions. The selection depends on texture, application, design objective and project framework.
Can existing packaging be used?
Yes. Existing packaging specifications or already selected components can be assessed and integrated into the project if they meet technical and quality requirements.
Does PLCC also support design and artwork?
Yes. We support colours, decoration, finishing and artwork and coordinate them with mandatory information, claims and technical printing requirements.
Are more sustainable packaging solutions possible?
Depending on the product, material requirements and availability, we assess suitable options. Product protection, function, recyclability and commercial viability need to be considered together.
When should packaging selection begin?
As early as possible. Packaging influences the product concept, compatibility, artwork, lead times and production and should therefore be considered in parallel with development.
