The Requirement
A Canadian retailer wanted an own-brand elevated feeder range that looked premium on shelf and passed food-contact requirements. They needed stainless and bamboo options, custom glaze colors, stable non-slip stands, and gift-box packaging within a set target cost.
What We Did
- Material development: confirmed food-grade stainless bowls and a bamboo stand finish, then matched custom glaze colors on removable ceramic inserts.
- Structure & stability: engineered stand heights and non-slip feet for two dog sizes with a shared bowl format.
- Sampling: refined bowl fit, stand finish, and assembly across two pre-production rounds.
- Packaging: designed a retail gift box with the brand's artwork, inserts, and barcodes.
- Quality control: coordinated food-grade material testing and ran final random inspection against the approved sample.
“The finish and packaging gave us a genuinely premium shelf presence, and the food-grade testing made compliance simple.”
