A lengthy but succesful project for TSC. To produce a low cost tube chip product in a range of flavours with attractive packaging suitable for the demographic in Papua New Guinea. Price was a big factor in the whole success of this project working. Before coming to TSC, our client tried to import an existing product themselves. It was the cheapest on the market but faulty was inconsistent. TSC played an intricate part in the process with most time spent in the testing and QC stages. Dealing with food required certain food certificates to export and meet the nutritional standards but keeping it price point low.

Being able to create this custom high quality cooler bag the suited the Swire demographic was really rewarding for our Product development team at TSC. The project started from feedback given by direct clients of Swire which led to product concepts and then prototypes. With 3 rounds of samples we came to a final product which is shown above. Once production was completed, TSC assisted with the distribution direct to offices all over the world.

A recent client was undergoing a expansion of their warehouse and required pallet shelving to utilise all the space. Our client did explore all available options for the supply of the pallet racking and our pricing and quality of our supplier became a big reason our client went with TSC. The increase of steel costs had a real impact on their budget. This job took longer then usual with the full process taking around 5 months from discussion to delivery. The main factors for this was the numerous testing we did which included Hardness, tensile, mechanical, coating and salt erosion tests. The final order consisted of 3 x FCL's.

Bopple — the world's fastest growing and powerful ordering and payments platform for hospitality.
This was an exciting project for us, Bopple and described there was a opportunity to add another revenue stream to business as there was demand from their clients for a POS presence. During the initial discovery meetings Bopple mentioned they did have an idea of a very attractive custom designed table puk that were cost effective and had a quick turnaround. They had this project on hold for a long and it never came to fruition before as there team didn't have enough capacity to product develop and find a reliable supplier. When they looked to manufacture in Australia at suppliers they could trust, the costs where far too high and not viable. This really impacted the whole project and was put on the back burner for a long time until the found TSC.
