imageUtilising our in-house pilot production facilities we are able to economically produce anything from one or two ‘rapid prototypes’ for visual evaluation to 1000’s of units for market trials.

Snapsil® technology can be applied to many industries and in many shapes and forms. Almost anywhere a product needs to be easily dispensed and portion controlled, there is a Snapsil® solution that can be utilised.

Snapsil® has developed a first class product design, mechanical engineering, prototyping, sample production and presentation capability that can quickly move inspired ideas to new Snapsil® product creations from concept to prototype manufacture.

The company's capabilities, processes and stage gate development approach has been purposely created to support the requirements of brand owners and to add real value to the application development process. Over the four years of technology development, the company has built an extensive bank of licensable know-how and design expertise in the practical application of its technology.

imageAreas of expertise include the following:

  • Pack aesthetics and ergonomics
  • Snap design and snap type variations
  • Functional performance considerations such as snap force, usability, dispensability and barrier properties
  • Manufacturability issues such as shell mouldability, tool design, shell nesting, dry and wet dosing, lidding and heat sealing parameters
  • Packaging considerations including recyclability, secondary packaging design and packing logistics

While the majority of the company's development work is focused on the support of specific customer requirements and applications, the company still dedicates 10% of its resources to medium term R&D considerations such as new materials technology, barrier and coatings technology and shelf life studies.
