EPS can assist in developing a Successful Contract Packaging Partnership

We understand the importance of finding a compatible packaging partner. When selecting a contract packager, manufacturers should consider overall reputation, breadth of services, and years and areas of expertise. Capacity, flexibility to meet project changes, record keeping and project tracking skills are also critical.

Broad Range of Services
A contract packaging organization supplements a manufacturer's internal resources, providing not only basic packaging services, but also invaluable counsel.

EPS contract packagers have experience packaging a variety of items in numerous formats, such as blisters, carded blisters, pouches and bottles. Providers may also offer package design, engineering and tooling production and printing services. Contract packagers possess a wealth of knowledge regarding packaging materials and have experience in meeting tight deadlines.

Contract packagers can advise manufacturers on the most cost-effective format that will promote sales and use of the product while meeting regulations and specifications.

Experience in Compliance
As regulations of industry increases, manufacturers can rely on packaging partners for assistance in complying with standards.

Cost Efficiencies
Outsourcing packaging to a contract service organization is often less expensive than in-house packaging. Manufacturers avoid the capital expenditures on equipment and personnel required for in-house packaging. Contract packagers already have a wide variety of packaging equipment and trained personnel in place. They also can typically obtain better prices on packaging materials since they are buying in large quantities. EPS offers contract packaging partners pricing support to assist in keeping costs in line.

Flexible Capacity
Outsourcing packaging is particularly appropriate during periods of increased product demand. Contract packagers have flexibility in allocating a workforce as required. A contract packager can assist with long-range planning to prepare for these needs. By outsourcing packaging, manufacturers can better focus on their core competencies -- R & D and marketing.

Manufacturers should meet with the provider's representatives, including sales, operations, management and quality assurance personnel and EPS sales representatives. The project proposal should include clear pricing that allows meaningful comparisons with other providers. It's important to ask for customer references and talk to others in the industry.
