Otor places considerable importance on finding new packaging concepts and optimising industrial manufacturing processes.


Research is mainly aimed at:

• making packaging lighter,
• reducing surface areas
• adding user functionality: improving productivity in terms of packaging erection, highlighting of products, simplified handling (easy to carry, easy to open, easy to flatten, etc.)

Each of the 6 board mills has a design office equipped with:

• IT tools: CAD and packaging optimisation software
• a CAD-controlled cutting table to make full-scale test specimens,
• a test laboratory.

The different developments are coordinated by the Marketing and Development service at Otor's head office.
