We design, test and launch industrial packaging for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers: returnable tray systems, corrosion and ESD protection, and the PPWR paperwork that goes with them. One engineer follows your project from the first plant visit to the first series truck.
Every project starts with the part, the route and the people who pack it. Then we design the packaging around them, not the other way around.
A seven-step process from requirements to production launch, with prototypes and tests on your own parts before anything goes into series.

VCI, barrier film, desiccants and ESD materials matched to the metal, the climate and the storage time, backed by climate-chamber tests when the stakes are high.
Learn more →
Twinsheet trays, dividers and sleeve packs that go round your loop for years, with pool-size and loop calculations so you buy the right quantity.
Learn more →
Pack density, cycle time, ergonomics, cleanliness and cost per part, measured before and after so the change is visible on the line and in the budget.
Learn more →
Supplier Declarations of Conformity collected and checked, packaging minimized where it can be, and a clear roadmap for the deadlines still to come.

The right maker for trays, dividers, boxes and protective materials, with deliveries followed up direct, drop-shipped or from stock.

Visit the plant. We look at the part, the packing station, the route and the people who use the packaging every day.
Drawings or STEP files, annual volumes, the route and storage time, the current packaging and any customer specs such as cleanliness.
Find out what fails today and why: damage, corrosion, handling time, waste and cost. We measure the baseline we will improve on.
Claims and damage reports, current packaging costs, and an hour with the people at the line.
G1You sign off the brief and the targets before any design work starts.
Design two or three options in 3D and score them on protection, pack density, ergonomics, cost per part and sustainability.
Feedback on the options and a choice, with your logistics and quality team involved.
Have samples made by the maker that fits the design, and try them on your own parts and your own line.
Parts for the trial, and time at the packing station for the operators to work with the samples.
G2You approve the concept and the sample before any tooling is ordered.
Run the tests the project needs through our lab partners: transit and drop (ISTA), climate and condensation (IEC 60068-2-30, PV 1210), dust (IEC 60529).
Agreement on the pass criteria up front, and test parts.
G3The packaging is released for series only when it passes the agreed tests.
Calculate the total cost per part over the loop and the pool size, and prepare the PPWR documentation for the new packaging.
Final volumes, the loop times and your purchasing contact.
G4Your purchase order starts series production.
Follow up the series orders, train the operators and check the first trucks. We stay your contact once the packaging is running.
A launch date and a contact at the receiving plant.
You can start at any step. Some customers bring a finished design that needs testing; others only know that parts keep arriving damaged.
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU 2025/40) has applied since 12 August 2026. Your packaging suppliers now owe you a Declaration of Conformity, and many of the ones coming in are incomplete or miss the requirements that apply today.
We built a tool that checks each DoC for completeness and against the PPWR requirements, and scores it green, amber or red. It has already reviewed dozens of supplier declarations.
Example only. Not a real supplier or a real result.
Customers are anonymized. We are happy to talk through the details on a call.
A new e-transmission plant with many new employees and no packaging specialist in-house. We developed twinsheet trays and boxes that have been in series supply since 2023 and are now used at four plants, tested for dust ingress and condensation, with VCI bags for the hydraulic units.
Machined pump housings kept showing corrosion. A climate-chamber test that simulates about 15 years of sea freight showed the real cause: residues from the washing process. The advice was to fix the wash first, then choose the VCI and desiccant.
As project lead since July 2026, we mapped the packaging portfolio, asked every European supplier for its Declaration of Conformity, set up a DoC register and score each incoming declaration before it is accepted.
Anthonie van Zalk founded Proteqpack Consulting in 2020, after more than 30 years in automotive and industrial supply chains, much of it in corrosion protection and protective packaging.
He leads most projects personally, from the first visit to the plant to the first series truck. That means one contact who knows your part, your line and your suppliers.
About Proteqpack
Designs, tests and launches the packaging, and supports PPWR compliance.
Delivers the materials in series, so the spec you approved is the one that arrives.
