Reynolds Kitchens Parchment Cooking Bags

New Innovation Project - Voted Product of the Year 2026

This project was the result of a three-year process of research, testing, and development to create a bag capable of safely holding four full servings of food. The primary challenge was engineering a package that could withstand high temperatures, moisture from steam, and the overall weight of the food without failing. Extensive testing was conducted to identify adhesives strong enough to maintain structural integrity under these demanding conditions while also remaining food-safe and reliable during transport and handling.

Throughout the development process, I created a series of AI-generated concept images to help align internal teams, manufacturers, and the marketing department on the intended look and functionality of the product. These visual references played an important role in communicating design intent early in the process and allowed stakeholders to evaluate and refine the packaging direction before final production.

In parallel, the packaging design work began well before the product itself was fully finalized. This proactive approach ensured that branding, structure, and visual presentation were ready as soon as the engineering challenges were solved. Once the product specifications were confirmed and prototypes met performance requirements, final photography was conducted. These images were then integrated into the packaging design, and the completed artwork was finalized after full internal approval.

The project demonstrates the coordination required between product engineering, manufacturing, and marketing to bring a functional food packaging solution from concept to market.
