At New-Tech Packaging, we’re always looking for ways to push boundaries, innovate, and deliver smarter solutions to our customers. In our last post, we introduced our state-of-the-art waterjet cutting equipment—a powerful addition to our capabilities. Today, we’re diving deeper into what this technology means for you and how it’s reshaping the future of custom packaging.
What Is Waterjet Cutting?
Waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water—sometimes mixed with abrasive materials—to precisely cut through a wide range of materials. Unlike traditional cutting methods, waterjet cutting generates no heat, which protects the material’s integrity and ensures a clean, smooth edge.
This versatility and precision opens the door to a host of new applications in the packaging space!
A Game-Changer for Custom Foam Inserts
One of the most immediate and impactful applications of our waterjet technology is in the production of custom foam inserts. Whether you’re packaging delicate electronics, industrial tools, or high-end retail products, waterjet cutting allows us to create inserts that fit your products perfectly—down to the millimeter.
-
No tooling required: Traditional die-cutting involves creating a custom steel rule die, which takes time and adds cost. With waterjet, we can go from design to production almost instantly.
-
Rapid prototyping: Need to test different designs quickly? Waterjet cutting makes it easy to create small runs for evaluation without major investment.
-
Material flexibility: From polyethylene and polyurethane to crosslinked and anti-static foams, our equipment handles a variety of substrates with ease.
Precision That Meets Creative Freedom
Waterjet cutting isn’t just about accuracy—it’s about creative flexibility. Complex shapes, sharp corners, tight curves, and intricate designs are all fair game, which means your packaging no longer has to compromise form for function.
This opens up new opportunities for:
-
Brand storytelling through packaging design
-
Unique unboxing experiences
-
Highly functional internal organization for tools, instruments, and kits
At New-Tech, we believe packaging is more than just protection—it’s presentation, experience, and identity. Waterjet technology helps us bring that vision to life more dynamically than ever before.
Sustainability and Efficiency
Because waterjet cutting is non-thermal and highly precise, it reduces material waste significantly. That translates into cost savings and a more sustainable manufacturing process—two things our customers care deeply about.
And with no tooling setup and faster turnaround times, we’re not just saving resources—we’re accelerating your path to market.
Your Partner in Innovation
Our investment in waterjet technology is part of a broader commitment to innovation and partnership. Whether you're an OEM looking to streamline your packaging process, a startup bringing a new product to life, or a brand seeking a more polished presentation—we’re ready to collaborate.
Waterjet cutting isn’t just a new tool. It’s a new mindset. And at New-Tech Packaging, we’re excited to help you explore what’s possible.
