Getting curious is how we uncover the right solutions for your business.
The Packaging Engineers at the IQ support every Pregis product category with compelling, high-performance packaging solutions designed to withstand the rigors of the most challenging distribution environment. But, our knowledge is not limited to Pregis solutions. We take the time to investigate all packaging options and uncover what is most important to you before delivering a recommendation.
Our experts will provide an analysis of the product and supply chain to determine the most optimal solution and application to improve efficiencies in key areas for our clients:
- Damage rates
- Material usage
- Transportation costs
- Labor challenges
- Regulatory testing requirements
- Unboxing experience
- Sustainability footprint

Dim, Damage & Sustainability: These are three of the hottest topics in packaging. Instead of evaluating each in a vacuum, they should be addressed holistically as a decision made in one area often impacts the other two. Let our team tackle all three at once and deliver a comprehensive analysis including easy-to-implement recommendations.
Our deep understanding of trends in the distribution environment, coupled with world class systems and solutions allow us to address a wide variety of markets including automotive, aerospace, ecommerce, food and CPG (Consumer Package Goods) to name drop a few.
