What Is Contract Packing?

September 26, 2016

Contract packing involves the designing, manufacturing and assembling of packaging options for various products. Businesses that provide consumer products seldom have the facilities to perform this type of service on their own. Instead, these businesses outsource these functions to a professional contract packager to save money, obtain unique ideas and receive efficient services along with other benefits.

Reasons to Turn to a Contract Packager

Each company has different needs for the services of a contract packager, but some of the main reasons to turn to one are as follows:

• It helps minimise the need for on-site equipment and full-time employees to perform packaging duties
• The facilities of the contract packager are closer to transportation hubs, which provides ease of receiving and sending shipments
• Unique packaging options that may require specialised machinery
• An economical choice for long-distance shipping
• An ideal choice for addressing short-term packaging needs
• Efficient options for rework are available

Benefits of Contract Packaging

One of the benefits to turning to a contract packager is the fact that you will not need to invest in expensive packaging equipment. You will be able to utilise the savings in other areas of your company to increase its overall productivity. As a result, the company will realise a substantial increase in profits.

Another money-saving advantage is that full-time employees to handle the packaging tasks will not be necessary. At times, packaging is not an ongoing process throughout the year, but the company may still need to keep employees on hand for when it occurs. Paying wages and benefits typically costs a company a high price in comparison to outsourcing the same tasks.

Since the company's packaging requirements are ever changing, you may need a larger location if you perform the functions on-site. When your demands increase, you just call the contract packager and explain the situation.

Reception and shipment of goods are expedited with contract packagers since they are usually located conveniently to transportation hubs as well as your company's facilities. This alone is a huge advantage over trying to deal with packaging on-site, but when you combine this with the other benefits, it is easy to see why you should avail yourself of packaging on a contract basis.
