Your Challenges, Our Innovations,
Our Journey

At Mespack, we adhere to the principles of open innovation to craft optimal solutions for innovative packaging needs of our customers. Our entire team collaborates closely with key customers and partners to develop the most challenging projects, ensuring a comprehensive and effective approach to design and development.

Innovative Packaging For Our Future World

Innovation is part of the Mespack´s DNA, and in the past years, we have strongly reinforced this commitment by following an innovation roadmap with a clear vision toward the future of flexible packaging. Furthermore, we encourage entrepreneurship within every Mespack team, that adds high value, as a result of their knowledge and years of experience in this sector.

Working On Our Innovative Packaging Solutions Together

The long term committed relationship with our customers and active consistent listening on our part, assist us in understanding their needs, as well as simplifying our innovative flexible packaging solutions to make them more user friendly and state-of-the-art. As a result, we continuously enhance our customer’s overall user experience.

The Mespack Innovation Centre

Although this open innovation philosophy takes place at many numerous geographical points where the essence of Mespack is present, it is physically and visibly represented at our Mespack Innovation Centre (MIC). This centre is an inspirational area where we profoundly labour over projects of recyclable material, automation, digitization, thus optimizing the efficiency of our solutions and developing new projects to expand our current portfolio.

The Advantages of Developing a Project at the MIC

Develop and Test New Packaging Formats

Our facility is equipped with horizontal and vertical Mespack machines that are ideal for producing and validating different formats.

We are capable of dosing both liquids and powders, thus enabling a comprehensive validation across a wide range of applications and product types.

Under real production conditions, we rigorously test alternative films, zippers, spouts, and materials to ensure that operational, environmental, and regulatory standards are met, hence leading to regulatory and operational compliance.

Our pilot lines enable pre-industrial trials, which assist customers in minimizing risk, optimizing parameters to increase efficiency, and reducing operational waste.

All tests done at the MIC are executed with strict and standardized protocols. This allows for the generation of highly detailed, tabulated reports that are fully comparable, even when tests are conducted months or years apart.

We believe true progress is achieved together. At the MIC, we bring together engineers, material scientists, and technical partners together in order to co-develop scalable sustainable solutions for the future.

The MIC is housed in an independent facility that is separate from our main production areas. This private space ensures that testing can be conducted securely.

Running validation tests on a production line can result in high downtime costs. By conducting these tests at the MIC, customers benefit from substantially lower costs while avoiding interruptions to their regular operations.

With over four years of daily testing and more than 500 validated films, the MIC has become a trusted reference point for customers seeking scalable and sustainable packaging solutions under real production conditions.

Partnership

Building on the foundation of open innovation, we engage in collaborative efforts with key partners in the flexible packaging sector to undertake challenging projects. Through close collaboration with a diverse team of experts, we collectively strive to achieve innovative and sustainable goals. This collaborative approach allows us to leverage a wealth of knowledge and experience for the successful development of groundbreaking projects.
