Protype Technology

Protype Technology is the latest innovator of packaging pre-production solutions bringing the freshest thinking to all aspects of the packaging supply chain. Protype Technology's 'Pakready' systems are aimed at designers and packaging technologists from studios to folding carton and corrugated convertors to brand owners.

The company's whole approach to systems is based on giving people control and optimum use of valuable design and creation time. With brand owners and retailers demanding faster and faster time to market, greater brand diversification and consumers looking beyond pure functionality, Protype Technology has created systems that deliver high quality printed prototypes or samples in minutes.

Protype Technology's Pakready modular systems provide designers with photo-quality print on board, flexibles and corrugated for prototyping and very short run production; dedicated cutting and creasing tables with packaging-specific CAD and the Uviset dry thermal UV-cured varnishing system.

The system can produce printed packaging and cut and crease them in less than five minutes to a range of materials from flexible films to carton board to corrugated and from new designs to modifications as well as from one-offs to small quantities.

Protype Technology is based in Liverpool, UK with development partners in the UK, USA, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Poland. Its systems are distributed through a growing number of global and regional resellers.
