R&D + innovation
Prototype, test, and launch with confidence
Pelican’s innovation center pairs material science with pilot equipment to de-risk launches and accelerate approvals.
Co-creation toolkit
- Barrier, COF, seal, and burst testing
- Pilot pouching with live graphics
- Environmental aging and shelf-life modeling
Development path
From idea to production with clear gates and data
We map every project with defined checkpoints so stakeholders can make decisions with confidence.
Material design
Barrier targets, seal needs, sustainability goals, and regulatory considerations defined up front.
- Application and channel assessment
- Monomaterial and PCR options
- Heat-seal window planning
Pilot & validation
Rapid prototypes to prove form, function, and graphics before committing to full runs.
- Pouches and webs with production inks
- Seal, burst, and peel testing
- COF and machinability checks
Launch & scale
Production trials with inline inspection, lot traceability, and documentation ready for audits.
- Roll maps and COAs
- Change control and approvals
- Post-launch optimization loops
Shared outcomes
Retailer scorecard support with recyclability and PCR paths
Faster approvals with data-driven reports
Line efficiency through COF and seal tuning
Aligning performance, sustainability, and speed
