FJC Packaging Consultants

From Concept to Successful Launch — Delivered on Time and on Budget

Packaging projects come in all sizes. Some are simple material changes or pouch redesigns. Others are highly complex, multi-year initiatives involving multiple suppliers, new capital equipment, and coordinated rollouts across several manufacturing plants.

 

With over 32 years of experience leading packaging development at global companies, I bring proven project management expertise that turns ambitious ideas into reality — without the typical headaches, delays, or budget overruns.

 

What I Deliver

• End-to-End Project Leadership — Full management from initial scoping and feasibility through design, testing, validation, and commercialization.

• Simple to Complex Projects — Single-structure pouch development all the way to large-scale programs involving new film structures, printing, converting, filling equipment, and secondary packaging.

• Multi-Supplier Coordination — Managing converters, resin suppliers, equipment manufacturers, testing labs, and contract packagers to ensure seamless integration.

• Capital Equipment Integration — Planning and overseeing new machinery purchases, installation, and qualification across multiple plants.

• Quality System Integration — Building robust quality plans, validation protocols, testing requirements, and compliance documentation into every project phase.

• Sustainability & EPR Compliance — Embedding recyclable, mono-material, or lower-impact designs while ensuring projects meet current and upcoming Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements across multiple states.

• Risk Management & Timeline Control — Identifying potential roadblocks early (technical, regulatory, supply chain, or sustainability-related) and keeping projects on track.

• Cross-Functional Alignment — Bridging marketing, R&D, operations, quality, procurement, and senior leadership for clear communication and faster decision-making.

 

I serve as your dedicated project leader or as an extension of your internal PM team — whichever fits your needs best. You get experienced, hands-on guidance that keeps momentum high and surprises low.

 

Result: A high-performing, compliant, and sustainable package that launches successfully and delivers the business results you expect.
