Contact for RFPs, Onboarding and Career Opportunities

Welcome to Our Inquiry Channels

The most useful first message is clear, brief, and specific about what you need from us.

Miko Pac receives several kinds of inquiries: new packaging projects, request for proposal packages, onboarding questions, supplier introductions, and career interest. The right route is simple. Email Dr. Alistair Penhaligon at [email protected] with the subject line that best describes the request.

For example, a subject line such as RFP: thermoformed packaging for frozen dessert launch helps us identify the technical and commercial context before the first reply. A message titled only Information request usually needs a clarification step before it can move forward.

We do not list a physical address or telephone number on this page. Email gives the team a written record of the requirement, which matters when packaging details, tolerances, documentation, and responsibility lines need to be checked carefully.

Client Onboarding Process

Good onboarding prevents waste later. It also protects both sides from assuming that a sketch, a sample, and a target price mean the same thing to everyone in the room.

The process normally starts with a short qualification step. We look at the product category, packaging function, expected use environment, and whether the request matches Miko Pac capabilities. If the fit is plausible, the next step is a more detailed technical exchange.

This order matters because the cost of changing a packaging decision rises as the work moves from concept to tooling and production planning. A poorly defined opening brief can make two options look comparable when they are not. One design might need different material behavior, another may need more decoration control, and a third may depend on filling-line limits that were not mentioned.

When the onboarding file is complete enough, conversations move faster. Not because anyone skips due diligence, but because the right questions have already been asked.

Submitting a Request for Proposal

A strong RFP gives us enough information to judge fit, risk, timing, and the work needed to respond responsibly.

Packaging RFPs have become more detailed as buyers ask suppliers to address material selection, appearance, logistics, documentation, and production resilience at the same time. That changes the way a bid package should be prepared. A general description such as plastic container with printed decoration leaves too many technical paths open.

Include the practical details first: product type, pack format, approximate dimensions, filling temperature, storage conditions, sealing or lidding expectations, decoration method, artwork status, and target launch window. If the pack must work with existing equipment, state the equipment constraints plainly.

What to Include in the RFP Email

• Company name and the main contact for technical and commercial questions.
• Product category and the intended packaging function.
• Drawings, samples, or photographs if they are available and approved to share.
• Material expectations, recycled-content goals, or restrictions that affect design choice.
• Performance requirements such as freezer use, stacking, transport handling, or tamper evidence.
• Decoration needs, including print area, label requirements, colour expectations, or artwork readiness.
• Timing for quotation, sampling, approval, and first production discussions.
• Any supplier qualification documents that must be completed as part of the tender.

Send the RFP to [email protected]. If attachments are large or restricted, explain what is available and how access should be arranged rather than sending unclear file links.

One recurring issue in RFP review is comparing a fully engineered pack with an early concept that has not been tested against production realities. The prices may sit in the same spreadsheet, yet the assumptions behind them are different. We prefer to make those assumptions visible before anyone treats the comparison as final.

Where a requirement depends on quality systems, facility scope, or customer history, reference the relevant context in the inquiry rather than assuming it is understood. If needed, you can review Quality Certifications before preparing the request.

Career Opportunities

Miko Pac welcomes career inquiries from people who understand that packaging work sits between engineering, production discipline, customer expectation, and daily problem-solving.

Roles in this field often reward people who notice details early. A small dimensional change, a decoration tolerance, or a handling issue can affect the final pack more than a broad job description suggests. That is true in technical, production, quality, commercial, and project coordination work.

If you are interested in future opportunities, email [email protected] with a short introduction and a current CV or profile. State the type of work you are looking for, your relevant experience, and whether your interest is immediate or exploratory.

A useful career message does not need to be long. Two clear paragraphs and a relevant attachment are better than a generic note sent to every manufacturer in the sector.

We cannot promise that every inquiry will match an open role. We can say that specific, well-prepared messages are easier to route and review. Use the same standard you would use on a production floor: label the request, include the relevant facts, and leave out what does not help the decision.
