Packaging Capabilities

Jabil Packaging Solutions drives faster time-to-market and validation with our proven “process of innovation.” To achieve practical sustainability, you must carefully consider all phases of development and production to combine the highest functionality, lowest cost, and smallest environmental impact. With so much of a product’s success directly affected by its design and manufacturability, the JPS team’s experience and expertise in every aspect of sustainable packaging is an asset for any company rethinking its green strategies.

Innovative JPS design experts are chemical, industrial, materials, process, human factors, and mechanical engineers. Applying these skills to packaging, they collaborate with your teams to deliver innovative solutions to help customers deliver fully on their brand promises and sustainability goals.

Determining the right design and packaging materials – from biodegradable fibers to a specialized polymer resin – for a particular product or component is just the first step. Finding dependable, competitive sources is the next. JPS prioritizes strong supplier relationship management to provide reliable access to diverse sources of recyclable, PCR, bio-based, and biodegradable/compostable resins worldwide ­— ensuring an uninterrupted supply chain while minimizing the environmental impact of long-distance shipping.

Packaging with the right materials enhances brands; that’s why JPS labs and innovation centers leverages materials science expertise to optimize manufacturability, performance, and cost to enable the best options for carbon impact, reduction, reuse, and recyclability. For example, we develop hybrid packaging to address unique product needs and find innovative materials for barrier packaging techniques.

Accurately calculating a carbon footprint or lifecycle assessment requires a quantitative understanding of the end-to-end supply chain, adding the impacts of source materials, transport, manufacture, as well as end-of-life considerations. The JPS team can assess your current product’s carbon footprint and provide recommendations to improve sustainability — from using recyclable, bio-based, or biodegradable materials and lightweighting to simply changing source material vendors or locations.

In close collaboration with your own teams, JPS then interprets all these data points, weighing considerations like the costs of change vs. the costs of inaction and remediation. In addition to enabling sustainable packaging choices, this iterative process can reveal opportunities for enhanced branding, improved manufacturability, as well as a faster, more reliable, and cost-effective supply chain.

JPS provides comprehensive automation project management, spanning from prototype development through to industrial-scale line automation. Our engineering teams work closely with customers to design custom automation solutions for non-standard product formats and to validate these systems during the Design for Manufacturing (DFM) process. When external automation equipment is required, we ensure seamless integration with injection molding machines (IMMs), managing both mechanical and control system interfaces for reliable, production-ready operation.
