What does packaging development mean at POHLI?
Development means combining protection, aesthetics and efficiency in a way that fits your product and your process. We analyse your requirements and translate them into a workable concept – from the initial design draft and 3D visualisation to a packaging solution ready for series production.
We work with a broad range of packaging components, including glass bottles, glass jars, plastic bottles, plastic jars, aluminum products and closures. The result is packaging that meets regulatory requirements, strengthens your brand and leaves a lasting impression.
Individual packaging development – implemented cost-effectively
When developing your packaging, we focus on speed, reliability and cost-effectiveness. We use stock models and open moulds where possible and can often achieve individual solutions with minor adjustments to existing standard tools. This creates custom packaging solutions quickly and efficiently – without expensive new developments.
Our experts advise you on manufacturing processes such as injection moulding, extrusion blow moulding, injection stretch blow moulding and injection blow moulding for plastic components, as well as on high-quality glass items from European partners. If required, we integrate sustainable materials and value-adding finishes such as screen printing, spray coating and hot-foil stamping for a design with a clear brand message.
Areas of application
POHLI develops packaging in the context of real-world use – practical, safe and aligned with your brand:

From design sketch to series production
To turn your vision into market-ready packaging, the development process follows a clear sequence:
Clarify requirements
product, application, filling process, budget and timeline
Design sketch and 3D visualisation
align variants, secure function and proportions
Model making and sampling
test samples, incorporate feedback, optimise details
Pilot mould and pre-series
secure series quality and prepare approvals
Series production
repeatable processes and reliable delivery
Sustainable packaging: combining sustainability and product protection
Sustainable packaging is often achieved through material-efficient designs, recycling-friendly concepts and a fit-for-purpose layout instead of unnecessary wall thickness. We advise you on suitable material options and check how sustainability, product protection and cost-effectiveness can be combined sensibly.
Finishes and accessories: making your packaging brand-strong
On request, we integrate finishes such as printing and hot-foil stamping into the development process. This turns functional packaging into a brand-strong solution. At the same time, we compile suitable closures and accessories so that all components work together perfectly in your application.

FAQ
Ja. Je nach Projekt prüfen wir einen wirtschaftlichen Weg über freie Modelle, Pilotlösungen oder effiziente Anpassungen an Standardwerkzeugen.
That depends on complexity and the manufacturing route. With stock models or standard tools, short implementation times are often possible. For new developments, we plan the process via sampling, pilot mould and series approval.
Yes. On request, we assemble the complete packaging solution and coordinate the components according to your requirements.
