You are like Jamie, a master storyteller who uses shapes, colors, and effects to bring brand stories to life. The heart of her work lies at the intersection between her boundless sources of inspiration and the core values of the brand.

Jamie’s goal is to create a design that transcends time, becoming an icon of its own, making a product immediately recognizable on the shelves and impossible to forget. This is why she deliberately maintains an unconstrained approach during the initial stages of her creative process. But when it comes to turning her product idea into a reality, Jamie understands the importance of comprehending the technical feasibility and manufacturing capabilities at scale.

Create those “I didn't know I could do that!” moments for Jamie. Lumio adds the latest colors, special effects, and manufacturing techniques to Jamie’s creative repertoire. With Lumio by her side, she can go through multiple fast iterations, exploring countless design options, all guaranteed 100% feasible, in record time.

You are like Hana who knows how to unlock the secret to a brand’s success. Visual identity is crucial, and Hana is the expert responsible for making it a reality. She takes an integrated approach to design, making sure that both aesthetics and performance specifications are considered.

Hana seeks solutions that faithfully capture the essence of creative design while maximizing business performance. She wants to be sure that her design brief is well understood and integrates performance specifications and scale-up conditions. To reduce risks, Hana needs to have multiple design options to choose from.

Brings peace of mind to Hana, as all design options presented to her are guaranteed feasible with scale-up in mind. Lumio helps Hana with a robust yet nimble new product development process, backed by world-class masterbatch expertise and prototyping capabilities. Lumio represents the time and resources that Penn Color is willing to invest to make it easier and faster for Hana to build a successful brand.

You are like Joshua, an experienced business professional, who plays a critical role as the link between various departments within his organization and the vendors. Joshua engages with internal stakeholders, thoroughly understands their needs, and then follows a meticulous validation process before finalizing a deal.

For Joshua, product safety and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable. To reduce risks, he is looking for lot-to-lot consistency, on-time and in full delivery, as well as overall supply chain resistance to disruptions. To drive cost-effectiveness, Joshua expects costs to be optimized and reviewed regularly: this applies to costs of purchased goods as well as manufacturing costs.

Utilizing an integrated approach to product development, Lumio helps Joshua align his cost-effectiveness and risk management objectives with the value his company seeks to create with their new product. Lumio exemplifies the unique combination of expertise and agility that Penn Color brings. This is why Joshua is including, with confidence, Penn Color in his portfolio of vendors.

You are like Zhang, the forward-thinking owner of a manufacturing plant, serving different segments in the consumer goods space, including thermoplastic packages and engineered polymers. As a converter for a global brand owner, Zhang strictly follows the specifications, but he wants to know exactly how the products and services he uses can affect the performance, quality, and costs of what he is manufacturing.

For his converter business, Zhang is looking for “drop-in” solutions, quickly validated, seamlessly implementable at scale, with costs kept under control. For his independent business, his goal is to gain access to Penn Color’s world-class enabling technologies, leveraging superior quality and a wide range of applications as competitive advantages to fuel growth.

Cultivates a collaborative environment that takes a holistic view of projects and fosters openness in the communication between all parties. This gives the opportunity to start addressing the challenges of “operational readiness” right from the beginning of any development project, to avoid costly re-dos during scale-up at the converter. With decades of experience collaborating with converters like Zhang, Lumio is committed to and knows how to deliver 100% feasible solutions.
