Case study
Quadpack: full-color packaging models with PolyJet
Cosmetics packaging · PolyJet (J850 Prime)
Quadpack Industries, founded in 2003, designs and makes bespoke packaging for make-up, fragrance and skin care. Its design team uses Stratasys PolyJet to show customers the final look before tooling.
The challenge
Quadpack used to present all-white models and on-screen renders. Customers could not see the final product. Samples were outsourced, which made the process long and costly.
The solution
Quadpack invested in a Stratasys J850 Prime, a full-color, multi-material PolyJet printer. Colors and materials come out of one single print. The team uses VeroUltraClear for glass-like parts, VeroUltra White and Black, and DraftGrey.
“To be at the top of our game, we need the freedom to innovate and test new ideas in a simple and effective way. The J850 Prime provides us unique options in color, material and overall efficiency that accelerate the early stages of design and development for us at an even more rapid rate.”
The results
- 80–90% savings on sampling costs
- A full-color decorated sample in about a week instead of months, shipping included
- More than 500 printed pieces for the #QPPackfuture trend report
- Realistic models that improve final design quality
Application: CMF models
