Packaging Redesign
PET, film, closure, and container trade-offs for brand teams trying to reduce weight without making filling lines harder to run.

Not Sure Which Polymer, Tube, or Pneumatic Part Fits? Let’s Walk Through It.
Bring a drawing, a media list, a pressure range, or a packaging brief. Festo turns scattered catalog choices into a practical material path for engineering, sourcing, and plant teams.
Application starting points
Choose the Situation Closest to Your Brief
Each card leads with the question buyers usually ask first, then gives our engineers enough context to recommend a resin, tube, fitting, or processing route.
Pneumatic Routing
Tube material, bend radius, fittings, cylinder stroke, and air quality questions for compact equipment and factory upgrades.
Compound Choice
Plain-English comparisons across nylon, polyurethane, ABS, PC, PP, PVC, and additive packages for injection or extrusion programs.
Trial Readiness
Sampling, datasheet review, tolerance targets, documentation packs, and pilot-run checkpoints for teams moving from concept to purchase order.
Clear explanations first
Readable Guidance Before the Datasheet
Festo summarizes what each material family does well, where it struggles, and which test or compliance document should be checked before you spend time on samples.
- Temperature, pressure, media, bend radius, and abrasion notes translated into buyer language.
- Polymer, plastic processing, and pneumatic decisions kept in one project thread.
- Practical next steps for prototypes, catalog parts, or custom material review.
Sample-friendly support
From Sketch to Sample Without the Gatekeeping
Our advisors help narrow a short list, note likely risks, and define what a useful sample kit should contain so your team does not evaluate ten options when three would do.
- Suggested sample sizes, application notes, and questions to ask before a mold or line trial.
- Support for Festo plastic tubing, air hose, pneumatic cylinders, and compatible polymer components.
- Documentation checkpoints for procurement, quality, and plant engineering reviewers.

Common first questions
Useful Answers Before a Quote Request
Materials
Yes. A rough environment, part function, and production method are enough to narrow early options and identify missing data.
Pneumatics
Share working pressure, ambient temperature, media, bend radius, motion frequency, fitting type, and whether the line is inside a food or washdown area.
Samples
Most projects begin with a compact sample plan and a short decision note so the evaluation stays practical.
Ask the first question
Send the Drawing, Tubing Route, or Material Brief.
Festo will help your team decide what information is enough for a recommendation and what still needs testing, supplier confirmation, or a controlled trial.
