More services from TCI Culinary
From a new chocolate range to a full bakery product launch, we can help design the product, its packaging and its brand, as well as the moulds that make it.
What we can do
Use one service or all of them. Each one is joined up with manufacturing, so designs are made to be produced, packed and shipped.
From a sketch or an idea to a product that can actually be made. We think about function, cost, materials and how it will be manufactured from day one.
3D CAD models, 2D drawings with tolerances, and design-for-manufacture reviews that remove cost and risk before tooling.
3D-printed, cast and machined prototypes, so you can hold, test and show the product before you commit to tooling.
We scan existing or obsolete parts, rebuild them in CAD and improve what needs improving.
Product renders and exploded views for approvals, investors, crowdfunding and sales material.
Retail boxes, sleeves, blister and clamshell packs, labels and inserts designed around your product and brand.
Protective inserts, trays, cartons and pallet layouts that get products to your customer undamaged, with less waste.
Names, logos, colour palettes, typography and brand guidelines for new products and businesses.
Product labels, instruction leaflets, swing tags, display stands and trade-show graphics.
Clear, fast websites with enquiry forms and search-friendly pages, built for buyers who want answers.
Product photography, short videos, technical datasheets and catalogue pages.
Instructions, specifications, food-contact paperwork and material records, written in plain English.
Once the design is right, we make it, or source it, and support the move from samples to repeat production.
Supplier selection, samples, quality checks and delivery, managed by one point of contact.
Packaging, content and a website ready together, so a new product reaches the market as one finished package.
How it joins up
Not every project needs every step. We start wherever you are; highlighted stages are where you sign off the design before money is spent on tooling.
Tell us what you want to make, even if it is only a sketch or a photo.
Product, CAD, packaging and brand worked up together.
Printed, cast or machined samples you can hold and test.
Moulds, parts and packaging made or sourced and checked.
Retail packs, inserts and transit packing designed and tested.
Labels, photography and a website ready for day one.
Designed to be made
Because the same team designs and manufactures, we check every design against the process that will make it.
We compare 41 manufacturing methods for your quantity, material and finish before designing the detail.
Choosing a routeWe call out only the dimensions that matter, so parts are not over-specified and over-priced.
Tolerance comparisonFood contact, heat, chemicals, UV and flexibility are matched to the right grade early.
Material compatibilityThe surface is set by the master, the tool or the secondary process, so we plan it from the start.
Finishes overviewNext step
A description, a photo of something you like or a quick sketch is plenty. We will guide you from there.
