Use Simulation for CPG Packaging Testing and Qualification

Modeling & Simulation (MODSIM) can lightweight packaging while optimizing for time, cost, quality and sustainability.

How Virtual Testing for Packaging Reduces Time and Cost by 50%

Packaging leaders have long used physical testing as the standard method to determine the viability of new product designs.  While physical testing will give you a good amount of information about how packaging designs will react to certain physical stimuli (dropping, stacking, consumer usage), it has significant drawbacks.  It can be time consuming and costly without providing the confidence that the package has been completely optimized for weight, structural design and transport.  

One proven solution is to use virtual testing, or simulation, to find the optimal tradeoff between time, cost, quality and sustainability.
