Slide 2
Agenda
• Welcome• Intro to Consolidated Container• Role of Shipping Containers• Use of Package Optimization Program (POP) to
optimize shipping container• Case Study: Trigger Sprayer
– Customer wants new trigger bottle– Designed it: does not fit in box– Went to POP - developed range of sizes– Went back to NX to resize numerous parts to
pack out efficiently
Slide 3
Agenda
• NX Tools Used– Sketches, Parameters, Expressions– Measure Bodies:
• Associative: remembers volume check• Sticky Call-out: shows on screen
– True Shading• NX Tools We Want To Get To
– Goal Seek: drive height to reach target internal volume
– UDF: would this help?– Reuse Library: common sprayer to all shapes
• NX Modules To Consider– Assemblies – Knowledge Fusion: extra cost?
• Tips & Tricks from Audience?• Questions & Answer Session
Slide 4
What is“Sustainable” Packaging?
Packaging over its life cycle that:
• Meets society’s needs for performance and quality of life (social)
• Minimizes life cycle environmental impacts (environmental)• Is efficient in how it uses resources (environmental)• Is cost effective (economic)• Is safe, meets all regulatory requirements and is easy to use
(environmental and social)• Does not compromise the ability of future generations to meet
their needs (economic, environmental and social)– Source: Dow Chemical
Slide 5
How Does Consolidated Container Contribute?
• Rigid Packaging• Extrusion Blow Molding
Slide 6
My Role
• Director of Creative Design• Industrial Design• Subject Matter Expert• PLM World User Group (past chair)• Drive Innovation• Recognize Trends…
…drive efficient packaging using POP
Slide 7
Thinking…Inside the Box
Slide 8
Recognizing a Need for Efficiency
• CCC makes Bottles• Shipped to Filler (empty)• Filled, Capped, Labeled• Boxed in shipping cartons• Stacked on pallets• Placed inside trailers/containers• Shipped to store/DC• Placed on store shelf
Slide 9
Packaging Optimization Program (POP) Approach
• TOPS from Tops Engineering• Analyzes dimensions of shapes –
space fits into other shapes• Optimizes for shipping purposes
Slide 10
New 22oz Trigger DesignOptimized with POP
• Digital Rendering Submitted to Customer
• Marketing is OK with it• Consumer Focus Group
loves it• Operations hates it
– no one asked him– Incorrect capacity – Does not fit in box– Wants a 32oz size as well
Slide 11
Using POP to optimize the design
Slide 12
POP Inputs: Bottle & ShipCase
• Analyze with POP
Slide 13
POP Inputs: Pallet
Slide 14
POP Solution: Graphics
Slide 15
POP Solution: Data
Slide 16
POP Solution
• So…what is all this telling me?• I just want to get the bottles into the box! • The Bottle “fits”…but could fit better
Slide 17
Sustainable Design Goal Setting
• VERSATILE CASE: make two sizes fit same box• VOLUME GOAL: 22oz AND 32oz• CASE GOAL: Increase Cases

Sustainable Design Goal Setting
Increase Width3.2 to 3.65”
Makes bottle larger
Increase Heightup to 1”
Makes bottle larger
Decrease Depth2.44 to 2.15”
Makes bottle smaller
Slide 41
POP Approach - Limitations
• POP does not understand complex geometry of the part inside the carton– Example: round bottles do
not maximize cube of box
• NX can’t read POP data directly (manual reentry)
• POP can’t read NX data
