About A1Pack: industrial design and custom manufacturing in Argentina

A1Pack industrial design and manufacturing project

Our story

A1Pack was founded as an industrial design studio in 2010. In 2011, we developed a promotional packaging campaign that marked the beginning of a range of projects for brands, businesses and entrepreneurs.

During the 2011 Copa América, we designed and produced custom pizza boxes for a campaign involving Peugeot, Renault, Fiat and Volkswagen. Distributed through pizzerias, the boxes brought the campaign into people’s homes.

That project brought together structural design, graphics and production. Over time, we expanded into other materials, technologies and types of products.

A1Pack was founded to develop industrial design projects centered on physical objects and how they are made.

We designed and produced promotional pizza boxes for a campaign during the Copa América. It was an early example of bringing design, communication and manufacturing together.

We expanded our capabilities across cardboard, plastics, wood, metals and glass, using prototyping, thermoforming, printing, cutting and assembly as required by each project.

We work with businesses, entrepreneurs, brands and agencies. Each project combines analysis, design, testing and production coordination according to its needs.

A studio supported by specialist collaborators

Industrial design direction and technical coordination are supported by professionals, workshops and suppliers brought in according to each project’s materials and processes.

  • Industrial design: product development and technical documentation.
  • Production processes: material selection and manufacturing.
  • Packaging: structural design and presentation systems.
  • Collaborators: specialists and suppliers selected for each project.

We design for intended use, budget and available production resources. From early tests to manufacturing preparation, we coordinate the resources needed for each assignment.

  • Materials: paper, cardboard, plastics, metals, wood and glass.
  • Techniques: 3D printing, thermoforming, laser cutting, machining and assembly.
  • Scale: prototypes, one-off pieces and production runs according to the project.

How we work

  • Context-aware design: we look for answers to specific needs.
  • Attention to each project: we consider its goals, scale and resources.
  • Quality and feasibility: we test and refine before moving into production.
  • Ongoing learning: we bring relevant processes and collaborators to each challenge.

Our work includes modular displays designed for the Fragata Libertad’s voyages: a project that required careful thought about assembly, transport and use.

Versatility: we adapt materials and processes to each goal. Support: we coordinate from the idea through manufacturing preparation, according to the agreed scope.

We design products and solutions that can be brought to life.

From Argentina, we combine industrial design, prototyping and custom manufacturing for businesses, entrepreneurs, brands and agencies.
