Research Studios, based in Barcelona, teams up with Empakglass. The goal is to provide the complete packaging solution, from glass concept design, sampling, up until production.

Research Studios, was founded in 2008 by Neville Brody and Pablo Rovalo, with a streamlined and direct design process approach which we find quite in sync with Empakglass’s technical approach.

With this complete solution, we gain an in-depth working knowledge of the client and their needs, and in turn translate this into specific, tailored results.
With this new joint-venture, Empakglass broadens its operational presence to Spain, following Portugal and USA.

"In EmpakGlass we believe knowledge only has value, if used and shared"
EmpakGlass has conducted this March another of its Product Development & Mould Design Open Training Workshops, kicking off with the 2018 Season.

This year, Empak introduced a new approach to the seminars....
In a time where Glass People are becoming more and more dependent on technology, we wanted to make a twist. So, all the trainees and Empak team had the challenge of working glass as artisans in a glass studio.

Under the very thorough Supervision and Mastership of Robert Wiley, from Vicarte - "Glass and Ceramic for the Arts” Research Unit, in UNINOVA Campus, everyone had the chance to contact in first hand with the effects of glass properties and its impact on workability, reheat, contact time and cooling time..... and still create a glass art piece to take back home.

Our experience so far, have taught us how much these event have been appreciated by all our attendees, since it gives the opportunity to exchange experiences within people from different glass container plants within the same (or related) field of work and even from different backgrounds, like glass fillers and glass producers.
The 2018 Open Training Workshops edition, will be held in Lisbon.
In the following weeks, we will start posting all the options that we will have available for our Workshops along 2018.
What better place than Lisbon to provide you with perfect relax after an intensive business day! We look forward to welcoming you again in Lisbon!

Since Empakglass started, its core has been bridging the gap between Marketing and Production in the Glass Container Industry, backed up on its technical know-how.
Around this main pillar, we've developed training programs and software packages to support our business.
Nevertheless, until now, there was one key aspect which we, at Empakglass, weren't yet addressing to our Clients: the complete package, from bottle concept design up until production.
Having perceived this gap in Empakglass's range of solutions, we introduce now: Concept +.
With this complete solution, our Customer base will reduce the normal entropy in the stages from the design development of a glass container up until its production stage, with all the consequent advantages in terms of time contraints, efficiency and cost reduction.
Our conceptualisation process involves three key stages which enable us to focus on the design objectives and produce innovative new pack designs to make your product stand out in the marketplace. Discovery Stage
In this stage, we find out as much as possible about the product, the brand identity, the client’s business, and the target market. This information feeds our design decisions so it is very important that we work closely with the client. After we have gathered all the information we need, we generate a creative brief that, in a couple of sentences, summarises the design objectives and what we need to deliver.
Initial Design Stage
Here we collate information from the ‘Discovery’ stage and produce a series of loose concept designs for consideration by the client. This is the time for creativity rather than pragmatism and we like to really let the ideas flow as we try to capture the essence of the brief.
Explaining what has inspired us and how we see the concepts developing forms an important part of the process.
Finalise Design Stage
Following discussion with the client we refine the designs while considering essential technical requirements. This process requires a careful balance between practicality and aesthetics. Taking client feedback into account we focus on one ‘winning’ design to progress to the final stage. Throughout the process we may use a combination of concept sketches, technical drawings, photo-real 3D rendered images or physical models and mock-ups to convey our ideas.
For the rest...well... it will be just picking from the design stage and shaping it into reality, which has been what we've done best.... so far.
