Industrial design, product development and custom manufacturing


What we do

We design products and bring them into production.
We make sure they work, can be manufactured and make sense for your business and its production context.

We develop ideas from the initial concept through to a minimum viable product (MVP), addressing design, function and technical feasibility for businesses, entrepreneurs and SMEs.

Custom production of cardboard packaging components in A1Pack workshops in Argentina

We produce batches at the required scale, selecting processes and materials to suit the budget and the project’s actual needs. From prototypes and short runs to larger production volumes

Our process

An industrial design process tailored to each project, from the initial idea to custom manufacturing.

Before designing, we understand what needs to be solved.

We analyze the client’s needs, product use, market, quantities, budget and technical constraints.
For packaging projects, we assess materials, production processes, logistics, storage and display from the outset.

We design with both manufacturing and appearance in mind.

We work with different materials and technologies to suit each project, from paper and cardboard to plastics, wood, glass and mixed-material solutions.
This approach, central to packaging development, helps us design efficient, repeatable objects suited to their production process.

Ideas are tested in the physical world.

We develop models, components and prototypes to validate fit, usability, strength and functionality.
Prototyping helps us refine the design, anticipate problems and optimize it before production.

Design does not end with the drawing.

We support manufacturing or coordinate with suppliers and workshops according to each project, so the finished product reflects the design.
Our goal is to deliver solutions ready for production, use and scaling.

We manufacture batches at the required scale, using processes and materials suited to the project’s budget and needs.

What do you need to solve today?

Custom product manufactured to the design and the client’s requirements

Experience and projects

Selected projects showing how we approach different challenges.
Each case reflects the way we work: understanding the problem, designing the solution and bringing it into production, combining materials, processes and technology to suit the context.

GPS-enabled plush toy developed by A1Pack for an international Air New Zealand campaign

Product development from concept

We designed and produced a line of plush toys with integrated GPS for an international advertising campaign, addressing form, materials, manufacturing processes and production scalability.

Bronze tooling manufactured by A1Pack for producing molded cellulose pulp parts

Technical manufacturing and custom production

We designed and manufactured bronze tooling for producing molded cellulose pulp parts. This technical project combined industrial design, production processes and custom tooling manufacture.

Hexagonal modular packaging designed by A1Pack for dividing ampoules into retail quantities

Design solutions for complex systems

We developed a modular packaging system for dividing ampoules into retail quantities. The solution combines structural design and interlocking joints to form a self-supporting hexagonal unit.

We work with entrepreneurs, SMEs, manufacturers, advertising agencies and brands developing physical products. We take on complete projects, from idea to production, as well as specific needs: a part, a prototype, a box, a technical improvement or a replacement component.

Packaging expertise that goes beyond the box

We approach packaging as a product and a technical field within industrial design.
Packaging work enables us to design, prototype and produce using different materials, processes and production scales, always guided by the client’s actual needs.

  • Paper, cardboard and paperboard
  • Plastics
  • Glass
  • Mixed-material systems
  • Wood

This range of materials and processes enables us to manufacture custom products across industries, production scales and project starting points.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

No.
Packaging is just one of the areas we work in.
At A1Pack, we develop products, technical parts, systems and manufacturing solutions, from defining the problem to making it a reality.
We focus on function, feasibility and real-world use across product categories.

We do both.
We design, develop and support manufacturing, either directly or with specialist suppliers.
We define processes, materials and technical criteria so the design can be manufactured consistently.

Yes.
We work with prototypes, short production runs, one-off pieces and functional tests, as well as projects intended to scale.
The project is defined by its technical requirements and development goals, rather than quantity alone.

Yes.
Depending on the project, we bring in suppliers, workshops and specialists.
This expands our technical capabilities while maintaining oversight of design, processes and final quality.

Yes.
You can contact us about a specific part, a technical problem or a targeted improvement to an existing product.
You do not need a full product development project to work with A1Pack.

Yes.
Many projects start with a need, a problem or a use case to address.
Development grows from there through creative and technical analysis, prototyping and validation.

We work with entrepreneurs, SMEs, startups, agencies and businesses that need to develop or improve a physical product.
Our approach is particularly suited to those who value design as a technical and strategic tool.
