Packaging Services

Several companies specialize in providing packaging services that are sourced by manufacturers to deliver well packaged products to their consumers. The existence and usage of highly sophisticated packaging equipment for different kinds of products has made good quality packaging a must for all products that reach retail shelves.

Large scale manufacturers find it more cost effective to include a sophisticated packaging machine in the assembly line and turn out a packaged product ready to be shipped. However, for smaller manufacturers, investing in a packaging machine is not a viable option. So they opt for packaging services offered by specialists to give their products their final packaged look.

Packaging services providers specialize in areas like contract packaging, package design, package testing, assembly, logistics and specialty packaging. Contract packaging services include providing access to specialize labor, equipment, location and related technology.

Packaging services providers cater to product manufacturer’s demands of items like industrial plastic containers, industrial steel drums, open and closed head plastic and steel containers, plastic and steel barrels, bulk bags and several other products. Some packaging services providers give industry specific and product specific packaging services. Their experience in the field ensures that they are aware of federal rules, regulations and safety requirements.

Corrugated boxes of specified dimensions and quality, plastic containers, metal containers, drum accessories like spouts, faucets, lid savers, drum wrenches and the like are a few of the types of materials that packaging services use on a regular basis.

When it comes to international dealings several U.N regulations have to be adhered to. Several packaging services providers offer packaging related services to cover this aspect too. U.N. Regulatory Training Seminars, Packaging Design Services and U.N. Performance Oriented Packaging Certification are some of the services offered by a few providers. Facilities for repair and re-certification of used polythene and stainless steel totes as per safety standards are also offered.

Manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and foods can opt for industry specific packaging outsourcing services. Such specialized service providers ensure perfect adherence to Federal and International norms and standards that are applicable to such products.
