Packaging
To remain competitive in a rapidly evolving economy, manufacturers should consider partnering with a contract packaging company, or co-packer. Instead of spending time and resources performing packaging operations in-house, you can outsource the work to an experienced co-packer with the equipment and knowledge to streamline your supply chain. A contract packaging company handles the task of packaging your products so that you can focus on your core business.
What Is Contract Packaging?
Choosing a Contract Packager
Industry expertise: Choose a company that has extensive packaging experience and industry knowledge. An expert co-packer will save you money by providing higher quality service and advice.
Proper equipment: Not all packaging equipment will fit all products. Before you sign a contract, make sure that you are working with a company that has the right equipment to package your product.
Strategic location: When outsourcing your packaging operations, choose a contract packager near your own manufacturing facilities. They will be able to receive products and components for assembly in a timely manner. Alternatively, choosing a co-packer located near point-of-sale facilities may also be advantageous if it costs less to ship bulk components than to ship finished 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: While it may be tempting to choose the least expensive contract packaging partner, they could cost you more money in the long run. Double-check that they provide the level of quality and kinds of services you need. A good packager may cost more upfront, but they can save you time and money down the line.
