Insights
The opening of UFP Packaging's new 10,000-square-foot Design and Development Center represents a strategic expansion of their service capabilities, though its immediate financial impact is likely modest. The facility's ISTA certification and comprehensive testing capabilities position UFP to capture higher-margin custom packaging projects and strengthen relationships with key clients, particularly in the e-commerce sector through Amazon certification.
The Atlanta-area location provides a competitive advantage in the Southeast market while offering nationwide accessibility. This investment in R&D and customer collaboration capabilities should help UFP differentiate from competitors and potentially increase market share in the $180 billion U.S. packaging industry. The focus on sustainability and material optimization aligns with growing corporate environmental initiatives and cost-reduction demands, potentially leading to increased customer retention and new business opportunities.
The DDC features expanded, customer-focused spaces that foster collaboration and innovation. Clients can engage directly in lab testing, participate in design reviews and collaborate hands-on with packaging development, creating a more interactive and immersive experience.
“Many of our customers have unique products that require more than an off-the-shelf packaging solution,” said Executive VP of Structural Packaging J.F. Granger. “Our new design center will enhance our service capabilities, protect their products through rigorous testing and help our customers keep their customers happy.”
The center includes a fully equipped prototyping shop and an ISTA-certified testing laboratory. The DDC will focus on sustainability, saving customers money by refining designs, minimizing material waste and maximizing protection within the supply chain through rigorous testing. PalletOne, a company of UFP Packaging, will also use the center to host unit load design classes and to optimize pallet solutions as a part of their Pallet Concierge™ service.
