Launchpad: Unlocking the future of packaging
Start-ups have the power to reshape our industry, but they need the tools to thrive. Accessing packaging can be challenging, complex and expensive.
Launchpad is the future of packaging industry. This pilot was a free three-month programme designed to help Founders derisk the launch of their next product by providing access to world-class digital packaging solutions and experienced business mentors.
With over £10,000 of support, Launchpad was designed for brands using, or planning to use, flexible packaging to create or improve new product designs. Included was help from expert business mentors and add-ons, including prototypes, rapid consumer feedback, and packaging discounts. The programme offered an ideal launchpad for future-thinking entrepreneurs who currently face challenges engaging with the packaging industry.
Launchpad was a partnership between Mission Ventures and Buildr by Foxpak, part of Sealed Air.
