Increase Order Fulfillment with Contract Packaging

The coronavirus pandemic has drastically altered consumer shopping habits, prompting significant adjustments from retailers and manufacturers to cater to the increased needs. The demand for sanitizing products and essential staples surged, leading to shortages and pressuring manufacturers to quickly address the demand-supply gap.

The situation accelerated efforts to enhance production, improve supply chain resilience, and ensure the availability of high-demand items, pushing companies to innovate and adapt in response to the challenges posed by the pandemic.

Many are turning to contract packaging to help keep up with the surge in demand, whether for critical safety items, groceries, or other needed supplies.

Three great reasons to consider Contract Packaging:

1. Contract packagers typically have more flexibility than large corporations to schedule urgently needed production.
2. Contract packaging allows you to outsource and fulfill orders efficiently without taking on extra staff or adding costly equipment.
3. A contract packaging partner can act as an extension of your company, providing special services, capabilities, and expertise to get your product into the hands of consumers safely and expediently.

In a standard operating climate, more than 60% of businesses surveyed said contract packaging increased flexibility and cut costs. In today’s ever-changing world, flexibility and operating efficiency are more important than ever. A contract packager is poised in the perfect position to help meet this need.

From warehousing your product to pack out and delivery, relying on the expertise and manpower of a contract packaging company will help you optimize your operation to improve speed-to-market.

Contract packaging tasks can be performed in-house, outsourced to third-party vendors, or left to the retailer. Determining the best resource is dependent on which services are needed.

Contract packaging can expedite your order fulfillment during this unprecedented time of online shopping and delivery needs.
