Packaging Designer
“Corrugated packaging is no longer a substitute for plastic—it’s becoming a smarter, engineered system that defines how products move, protect, and perform in modern supply chains.”

“Ever better packaging isn’t a destination - it’s a journey of thoughtful choices, collaboration, and continuous innovation toward a truly circular future.”

The greatest waste is not the packaging itself, but the food it fails to protect - packaging is not the problem, it is the solution when designed with purpose.”

“At BERHALTER, we don’t just cut with precision - we shape the future of intelligent manufacturing“
