Mathematics as a Blueprint for Packaging
Designing resilient packaging is a delicate negotiation between predictable physics and unpredictable environments. While material selection is important, the “intelligence” of a container is defined by its geometry and load-bearing logic. To navigate this, engineers rely on the McKee Formula – the industry standard for predicting the top-to-bottom compression strength…

Strategic Visibility in Packaging Design–Manufacturing Teams
In packaging development, visibility is a finite resource. Not all information is useful to all people, all the time. Unmanaged transparency often slows progress rather than accelerating it. Strategic teams understand that how information moves – who sees what, when, and why – directly shapes cognitive load, professional relationships, and…

Heuristic Approaches to Design-Prototyping
In theory, everything can work – but in reality, failure is inevitable. Design flaws, however frustrating, are a natural part of progress. Striving for perfection is futile; it doesn’t exist. Nor can we reinvent production systems or fully control the logistics of short lead times. Manufacturing conditions are often static,…
