Streamlining Product Design with 3D Printing for Packaging



When launching a new product, testing and refining packaging design is a critical step in ensuring success. However, traditional manufacturing methods like blow molding can be costly and time-consuming for prototyping. At Upside Parts LLC, we help clients prototype efficiently and affordably using 3D printing.


In this case study, we’ll showcase how we helped a client create a transparent plastic jar prototype to test their design before committing to expensive tooling. When it comes to creating fast designs of tangible objects, 3D printing for packaging offers unmatched flexibility and efficiency, as it allows businesses to quickly validate their designs and make adjustments, exploiting the benefits of rapid prototyping with 3D printing.


Our client was preparing to launch a new product that required custom packaging—a transparent plastic jar. To perfect the design, they needed to prototype the jar before investing in costly blow molding tools. This process typically involves high upfront costs and long lead times, making it less practical for early-stage design iterations. Using 3D printing for packaging, businesses can rapidly prototype designs, reducing costs and lead times significantly.


We produced a detailed, transparent plastic jar prototype. This allowed the client to evaluate the design of their new product, test its functionality, and gather feedback from their team.

Thanks to fast turnaround times, the client received the prototype in just a couple of days, significantly reducing their development timeline. After incorporating feedback, they confidently moved forward with their final tooling, knowing the design was optimized.
