Custom product design is the stage where your idea is shaped into a production-ready product. At Butler Technologies, that means combining engineering design, graphic design, and design for manufacturability under one roof, so the product you envision can actually be built efficiently, consistently, and at scale. 

Whether you have your own team of technical and artistic designers or need to outsource the whole process, our team is here to support your product’s development. Your part can reach the finish line faster when designed for Full-Scale Production from the start.

Engineering Design

Our expert engineers are ready to support you in your product’s development. With decades of experience in multiple engineering disciplines, your product is in great hands.

    Designing for Production

    Moving from idea to full-scale production can feel intimidating. Our engineering and operational excellence teams collaborate with you to ensure your idea is ready for manufacturing.

    To make your design "production ready," we focus on the details that directly affect manufacturing success:


    1. Materials: Selected to support product performance and manufacturability.
    2. Measurements: Reviewed for accuracy, consistency, and repeatability.
    3. Processes: Planned early to reduce delays, revisions, and production challenges.
    4. Design details: Evaluated to support smooth, efficient manufacturing.
    5. Budget and timeline: Optimized before the design reaches the production line.

    Reverse Engineering

    If you have an existing part from a previous vendor and need to recreate or improve it, we can help. We study your example part carefully to understand its design and functionality while preparing it to be production ready.

    To successfully reverse engineer your product, we focus on the details that preserve performance while preparing the design for future production:


    1. Part analysis: Reviewed to understand construction and functionality.
    2. Design recreation: Key design elements are documented and replicated.
    3. Functional assessment: Features and interactions are reviewed for expected performance.
    4. Production readiness: Materials, measurements, and processes support smooth production.
    5. Design improvements: Opportunities to enhance manufacturability and efficiency are identified.

Design for Manufacturability (DFM)

Design for manufacturability helps ensure your product can be produced efficiently, consistently, and at scale without compromising quality.

By considering production requirements early in the design process, DFM helps reduce scrap, shorten cycle times, and improve output during full-scale production. yield.

  • Simplify layer stack-ups

  • Optimize screen-printed electronics layouts

  • Reduce unnecessary assembly complexity

  • Improve yield rates

  • Select materials compatible with scalable production processes

  •  PRODUCTION READY FROM THE START: Early manufacturability planning helps prevent costly redesigns, shorten ramp-up time, and improve first-pass yield.

You Own Your Design Files

Unlike many vendors, Butler Technologies gives you full ownership of your artwork and design files, even if another partner ultimately produces the part. This protects your investment, keeps you in control of your product, and gives you the freedom to scale, revise, or move production on your terms.

Why this matters:

  • File ownership: You keep access to the artwork and production-ready design files.
  • Vendor flexibility: You are not locked into one production path.
  • Long-term control: Your product can be revised, scaled, or transferred as needed.
  • Investment protection: The design work you pay for remains yours.

What Our Clients Say

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does Butler Technologies' design service include?

    Our design service includes engineering design, design for manufacturability, graphic design, reverse engineering, packaging design, and production-ready file development, all under one in-house workflow.

  • What is the engineering design process at Butler Technologies?

    Our engineering design process moves your product from concept through validation to production-ready design, accounting for materials, tolerances, and manufacturing methods at every step.

  • Do I keep ownership of my design files?

    Yes. You own all artwork and design files Butler Technologies creates, regardless of who ultimately produces the part.

  • What is reverse engineering, and when do I need it?

    Reverse engineering recreates or reimagines an existing part, often from a previous vendor, by studying it in detail and making it production-ready. It is useful when drawings are missing or a design needs to be improved for manufacturing.

  • Can Butler Technologies design packaging and promotional materials too?

    Yes. Beyond product and engineering design, we create packaging (outer packaging, blister packs, inserts, product housing) and promotional materials such as banners, posters, flyers, and mailers.
