Full Design Engineering Services
TransPak offers end-to-end packaging design and engineering services to our customers, from concept development to ISTA-certified testing, all the way to global sourcing and production.
Engineering Your Ultimate Custom Packaging Solution
We start every project with a materials-neutral approach—meaning we create product protection that is optimized to the requirements of your global supply chain. The proper industrial package design will not only provide your product protection, but it can also:
Lower material costs by designing efficient packs for your valuable assets.
Optimize land shipments – reducing shipping costs and fuel usage by designing for load optimization and maximizing truck density.
Optimize air shipments – reducing CO2 emissions and total costs by engineering for reduced packaging weight.
Shrink your carbon footprint by designing sustainable packaging with eco-friendly materials and less material overall.
Connecting Our Global Footprint
We’ve strategically placed our 80+ global design engineers around the world in a “follow-the-sun” 24-hour support model, with experts sitting in North America, Europe, and Asia.
Expanding to new territory? Did production spike or designs change? No problem. Our existing global infrastructure allows us to be where you need us.
And when we’re not, we expand to new locations to fulfill our customers’ needs.
Global Design Center & Package Testing Lab
At the TransPak Global Design Center and Package Testing Lab, our talented team of engineers bring a full range of design and testing services. Our global team ensures safe delivery by simulating real-world shipping conditions before a package ever leaves the facility.
Our integrated design and testing workflow allows for rapid design iteration, enabling us to refine protection, optimize material usage, and reduce waste. Our in-house testing capabilities eliminate the delays and costs associated with third-party labs – getting you to market more efficiently.
The ISTA-certified test lab at TransPak’s state-of-the-art Hayward facility provides:
- Drop testing
- Vibration testing
- Incline impact testing
- Environmental testing
- Compression testing
- Transportation testing
- Horizontal load stability testing
- Test weight capacity up to 15,000 lbs. in 2026 in our renovated lab
- ...And More!
Design & Engineering Experts
TransPak’s team of 80+ global design engineers are experts in five core industries, with at least 15 designers dedicated to each industry. Our engineers’ expertise across wood crating, corrugated and foam, metal racks, transit cases, and pelican cases ensure a materials-neutral approach for all TransPak customers.
TransPak brings design concepts to life by engineering prototypes to test in the real world before going into production. This ensures a seamless, safe delivery for your product every time. Our experts in package engineering and CAD software consider every detail to:
- Safeguard against potential problems during production and shipping.
- Provide detailed specifications so your package can be produced globally with consistency.
- Consider the whole life cycle of the package, whether it's able to be refurbished or needs to be broken down and recycled.
