“Be driven by the consumer needs and desires to realize a better product”

At Outerspace design we understand the considerations necessary to provide well resolved packages. We specilise in bridging the gap between user needs and engineering feasibility.

The design team undertake behaviour studies that really get under the skin of the people interacting with the package because you can be sure that users don’t do what they tell you, don’t do what they think they do, and certainly don’t do what you think they do!

We take the learning from our observations and construct a conceptual vision guided by our manufacturing knowledge. The end goal is ensures a cost effective solution is achieved.
Prototypes enable the team to evaluate how well the package satisfies the user needs, and whether it will integrate with existing or new plant capital.

Our approach provides commercial solutions that will reflect your brand values, differentiate away from your competitors and establishes a stand alone product competing on its own terms.

Packaging projects at Outerspace design rely on effective communication; we take pride in keeping our clients informed and maintaining close dialogue with the project stakeholders in order to ensure the best possible outcome.

Underpinning all of this… as a team we have fun designing packages!
