Step into the Future of Label & Packaging Innovation 

The Innovation Lab is Inovar Packaging Group’s R&D and prototyping center, located at our Dallas, TX headquarters. It’s a creative space where customers can work directly with our experts to experiment with materials, finishes, and label designs before full-scale production.

• Create physical prototypes of your labels and packaging.
• Test different materials, including various films, papers, and sustainable options.
• Iterate on designs; tweak size, color, embellishment (like foil or varnish), and see real samples printed.
• Join ideation/brainstorm sessions to co‑develop novel label ideas and strategies.

• Hands-on prototyping: You can see and feel a physical version of your label before committing to a full run.
• Collaborative process: Work side-by-side with our technical and design team to refine your concept.
• Cost-effective development: Test different materials or finishes without the expense of full production.
• Innovation-first solutions: Tap into cutting-edge materials, sustainable options, and premium embellishments.

Yes. The lab is equipped to prototype a wide array of label types, including pressure-sensitive, shrink sleeves, flexible packaging, roll-fed labels, and more.

Yes, our Innovation Lab can apply and test embellishments such as tactile varnish, foil stamping, laminations, die-cuts, and more.

Yes, you can bring in your containers and test how label prototypes fit and perform, allowing you to evaluate shrink sleeves, label alignment, and application behavior.

You can schedule an “Innovation Meeting” with Inovar to kick off the process. During this session, your team will work with Inovar experts to define goals, test materials, and build prototypes.

Because the Innovation Lab is a development resource, there may be costs tied to prototyping or material testing.
