Connect the design ambition to production reality.
From beverages and drinkware to broader consumer products, we help founders consider how an idea will be made, sourced, and delivered alongside how it looks, feels, and performs.
Where we can help
Product and packaging design
Develop product and packaging direction around the customer experience, brand, functionality, and commercial targets.
Design for manufacturing (DFM)
Review materials, components, manufacturing processes, assembly, and tooling implications to improve production readiness.
Supplier sourcing and manufacturing setup
Identify and assess potential manufacturers, compare capabilities and quotations, and support planning for sampling, tooling, and production.
Global supply chain setup
Plan sourcing locations, supplier relationships, inventory considerations, and logistics across the path from factory to market.
Cost, quality, and scale
Evaluate trade-offs in unit cost, minimum order quantities, lead times, specifications, and capacity as your business develops.
Support shaped around your product.
The work can cover a targeted design or manufacturing review, a supplier assessment, or broader development and supply chain setup. We define the roles of Blue Lime, your team, and external production partners within the engagement.
