I feel the packaging industry is very innovative and keeps pushing back limits to pique the interest of everyone, and particularly of us, consumers!

Not only do they push back the limits of aesthetics, but they also push back the limits of Sourismechanics.

Among other things, they keep developing:
_ Packaging to deliver the exact dose; NO waste!
_ Packaging in easily stackable shapes to make handling and warehousing easier
_ Packaging using less material in order to respect the environment and reduce shipping costs; that’s killing two birds with one stone!

Since businesses keep looking for ways to improve their packaging, many companies developing computer-assisted design software have seen the opportunity and developed software catering to this need; Dassault Systèmes is one of them. Their CPG software (Consumer Packaged Goods) allows for instance to take professionals working in Spray Bottle 1this sector from design to client experience through simulation. Isn’t that great?

Simulation could be addressed in greater depth in a coming post; that would be very interesting.
