Contract Packaging Services
To stay competitive in today’s fast-changing marketplace, manufacturers can benefit from partnering with a contract packaging company, or co-packer. Rather than dedicating valuable time and resources to in-house packaging, you can outsource these operations to skilled professionals equipped with the tools and expertise to optimize your supply chain. By relying on a contract packaging partner to manage product packaging, you’re free to concentrate on your core business activities.
Contract packaging can take many forms, depending on the product and the techniques required. Overall, it involves preparing goods for a wide range of retail, commercial, or industrial applications.
Choosing a Contract Packager
Choosing the right contract packaging company is crucial for a successful fulfillment strategy. Consider the following factors when making your decision:
Industry expertise
Select a company with strong packaging experience and deep industry knowledge. An experienced co-packer can help you reduce costs by delivering high-quality service and informed guidance.
Proper equipment
Packaging machinery isn’t one-size-fits-all. Before finalizing an agreement, ensure the company has the appropriate equipment to handle and package your specific product.
Strategic location
When outsourcing packaging, select a contract packager located close to your manufacturing facilities to ensure timely receipt of products and components. Alternatively, choosing a co-packer near your point-of-sale locations can also be beneficial if shipping bulk components is more cost-effective than transporting fully packaged products.
Communication
Clear communication is crucial for a good partnership with your contract packager. Ensure that you have the same expectations for communication frequency, availability, and methods.
Cost
Although selecting the lowest-priced contract packaging provider might seem appealing, it can end up costing more over time. Make sure they offer the quality and range of services your operation requires. A reputable co-packer may have a higher upfront price, but their efficiency and reliability can save you significant time and money in the long run.
Custom Packaging
Reliable Pack Innovations has extensive experience in custom packaging to include printed labels, printed folding cartons, value add point of purchase (POP) displays, counter displays, and many other options.
