What Is Contract Packaging?

This company then interacts with the client to provide a seamless outsourced source of all packaging needs.

Why Choose Contract Packaging?
The reasons for choosing this method of packaging over others are based on the requirements and capabilities of individual companies. Some companies opt for contract packaging to:
* Reduce overhead costs
* Flexibility in selection and technology
* Increase their product range without worrying about updating, replacing or revamping packaging lines and machinery

* Address the need for a special project e.g. holiday packaging, unique events
Some companies simply lack the space or even the financial wherewithal to install a packaging line.
