3 wide range of existing and emerging technologies in-house customized tooling The most distinctive competitive advantage that Silgan Plastics possesses is our ability to innovate. We began to develop the most advanced product development design team in the industry and gave them access to the latest technology available in AutoCAD design and SLA modeling (Stereo Lithography Apparatus) software. Because our mold design is developed in conjunction with the blow molding process we are able to provide of a 100% success rate in meeting the objectives of the customer. Our competition generally relies on outside industrial design houses and third party mold makers who do not understand the complexities of the blow molding process. In addition we have in-house capabilities to design and develop customized tooling to enhance the manufacturing process. To enhance our design capability we use Blow Simulation Software to simulate the molding process prior to manufacturing molds. This helps us ensure that the design criteria are met and viable. At that point we are able to utilize FEA (Finite Element Analysis) software to confirm the structural integrity of the product. The whole idea is that it s a team effort and we all have input on a design. We look at what s feasible, what s mold-able, and what s able to meet quality standards. All these factors come into play, as well as what the customer wants. To visually communicate the design intent of the 3D product to our customer, we use Adobe Acrobat 3D software technology to embed the CAD 3D interactive content into a PDF page. The client can then mark up and make comments to the document and it back to us so that we can incorporate their alterations into the final design. We control the whole process from start to finish. We only offer solutions that are manufacturable. We come up with a product that we re positive is going to work before we go through the molding steps. Silgan Plastics has leveraged its expertise in the development of multiple compartment molds to enable shipping of multiple products in one container. In addition, the company is a leader in the development of pinched handle molds, which prevent residue from accumulating in the handles of containers. manufacturing diversity With a multitude of production lines covering a variety of product sizes, consisting of world leading technology from Sabmann, Uniloy, Kautex, Bekum, Husky and Fischer, Silgan Plastics is ready to fill standard customer orders ranging from 2 Liters to 30 Liters. We took on a challenge to design and develop our own robotic bottle handling system. Our production and test lines are highly automated, and modeled through statistical process control, allowing our personnel to focus on defect recognition and correction. Tools like weight control charts and defect tally sheets empower our entire production staff to be pro-active within the constant improvement of the production line processes. These innovations have reduced our scrap levels, increased our efficiencies, minimized our down time, and improved our overall manufacturing effectiveness. This has helped us remain competitive and is a feature only available to Silgan Plastics in. quality assurance Quality assurance isn t just the absence of mistakes. Quality is the result of understanding its importance to customers in everything we do. Only then can we empower every Silgan Plastics employee to take personal responsibility for it and make quality a point of difference with our customers. Critical to success is our Quality On The Mark program, a program that has influenced the development of our entire range of business and production methodology. Silgan is recognized by its customers for exceptional service, quality, reliability and value while enabling mutually beneficial partnerships and growth. To be the Quality Leader in rigid packaging we practice quality in everything we do. We implement standardized processes and systems to ensure a company-wide commitment to meet all customer requirements. We measure our performance and take a proactive approach to eliminate risks.

Our services include: Great design begins with thorough research. The consumer packaged goods market is constantly evolving, which is why you need anytime access to the latest consumer trends, product innovation, market sizing and strategic insight. We monitor trends from around the world to understand what is driving your customers next purchase decision. We incorporate what we learn into our design process in order to give your product differentiation in a competitive market place. Our in-depth trend analysis is just the start of the design process. There are a few key things that we take into consideration in the design of any package environmental considerations, shelf appeal, performance & manufacturability of package. Material selection, weight reduction, and cube optimization are all factors that we consider as we look to provide a sustainable solution. When it comes to shelf appeal, we work to design concepts that will stand out amongst the competition. From color selection, to shape and labeling, many things help contribute to a products differentiation. Not only does a package have to look great and appeal to customers, it has to perform. Ergonomics and user-friendliness along with functionality and stability are all considered in our initial design ideations. One thing we won t do is design a package that is not manufacturable. We make sure that things like top fill, assembly, filling and decorating are all taken into the overall design of a package. We want to make sure that once we have worked with you to develop the concept, the package can go into production with out any roadblocks. Conceptualizing and sketching are key elements in the creative design process. Our goal is to collaboratively create new customer inspired package designs so that you can rapidly move into the next stage of development. These sketches and concepts reflect current market and innovative next generation trends that can be reviewed and evaluated by your team. From a dimensionally correct digital file, Silgan can create an FDM model using one of our in-house 3-D printers. This will give you a full size representation of your product that you can touch and feel. Measurement of All Bottle Dimensions Including Neck ID Top Load Testing Drop Impact Testing Leak Testing and Pressure Vacuum Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR) Testing Application and Removal Torque Accelerated Product Compatibility Testing MVTR per USP <671> Oxygen Permeation Testing Material Identification Processibility Recycle-ability, Sustainability Melt Flow Testing Contaminant Identification Layer Analysis for Projected Shelf Life Package appearance and integrity are critical to consumer acceptance. At Silgan we provide color analysis, review opacity levels and can test the percentage of light transmission in the UV range for proper protection.
