What Engineering Capabilities Do We Offer?
Innovative. Precise. Built to Perform.
At Rigid Sustainable Solutions (RSS), our engineering team partners with companies to design, test, and refine rigid paper packaging that meets real-world performance standards. Working out of our lab at Miami University, we support clients through every stage of product development—from early sketches and CAD modeling to performance testing and final prototyping. Using Celwise technology and proprietary design tools, we engineer packaging solutions that are lightweight, strong, and fully recyclable in the paper stream. We also help businesses meet regulatory requirements and sustainability goals by customizing packaging for commercial scalability. Whether you're starting from scratch or improving an existing design, our engineering services are built to deliver precision, speed, and impact.
What 3D Printing Capabilities Do We Offer?
Fast. Flexible. Built to Prototype.
At Rigid Sustainable Solutions (RSS), we use in-house 3D printing to rapidly bring packaging ideas to life. Using both FDM and resin printers, we create detailed, functional prototypes that help visualize and test form, fit, and function before moving into molded fiber production. This allows our team—and our partners—to quickly iterate on design concepts, explore new packaging geometries, and solve engineering challenges in real time. Whether you need a rough early-stage model or a high-resolution prototype for stakeholder feedback, our 3D printing services support faster development cycles and smarter design decisions.
What Manufacturing Capabilities Do We Offer?
Scalable. Streamlined. Ready for Production.
At Rigid Sustainable Solutions (RSS), we bridge the gap between prototyping and production. Our team works directly with partners to transition designs into scalable molded fiber formats, using industry-aligned tooling and pilot-scale equipment. We support early-stage manufacturing runs that validate form and function before full-scale rollout, helping companies de-risk production and refine their packaging for real-world performance. With access to fiber forming presses, vacuum systems, and dosing units in our Miami University lab, we enable quick turnarounds, material experimentation, and quality-controlled output. Whether you're launching a new product or reworking an existing one, we help you manufacture smarter—with sustainability built in.
What Consulting Capabilities Do We Offer?
Strategic. Sustainable. Built Around You.
At Rigid Sustainable Solutions (RSS), we offer consulting services that help companies navigate the shift to sustainable packaging with clarity and confidence. Whether you're exploring molded fiber for the first time or looking to integrate advanced paper-based formats into your supply chain, our team brings hands-on expertise and technical insight to guide your next steps. We advise on material selection, packaging redesign, regulatory compliance, and the commercial viability of fiber-based solutions. With a deep understanding of Celwise technology, manufacturing constraints, and evolving sustainability standards, we help brands make smart, forward-thinking decisions that align with both business goals and environmental responsibility.
