From Concept to Creation in Record Time

Have a business idea but not sure where to start? There are several routes you can take to get your product to market quickly. These routes will differ based on your resources, the resources of your manufacturing partner and the end goal for your products. From private label to co-packing and repacking, and bulk/wholesale orders, a good manufacturer will offer different services that can best fit your business needs. Learn more about which services you may be interested in and examples of what you should be looking for.

 

Private Label

Who? Individuals, large and small businesses looking for a manufacturer to produce their products under their own brand name.

Why? Manufacturing a product comes with huge costs; production lines, formulation equipment, labeling equipment, packaging machinery, a facility to host the equipment and people to run and oversee the whole process. Most companies understand that taking on these costs is not feasible, so working with a manufacturing partner is the next best option. An established manufacturer that specializes in your industry already has the supplier connections and equipment needed to produce your product. This will save you time and money within your product life cycle, so you are able to focus on and spend money on front facing aspects like marketing and branding.

How you can benefit?

• Quickly get products to market
• Save money on manufacturing costs
• More control over pricing

What to look for?

• How long has the manufacturer been in business?
• Which industry are they positioned in?
• Do they have a diverse supplier portfolio?
• Are products fully customizable?

Co-Packing

Who? Any sized company looking for help with packaging their products. Usually, these companies send ingredients to the co-packer to be labeled, packaged, and stored until being sent to the retailer.

Why? By working with a co-packer or contract packer, you can fulfill large orders without having to take on the costs of a facility, equipment and staff. If you produce your own products, but don’t have the resources to package it, working with a contract packer is going to be your best option.

How you can benefit?

• Lower production costs
• Increased business flexibility
• Increased economies of scale

What to look for?

• Is the co-packer manufacturing in a compliant facility?
• Does the co-packer have your desired product certifications?
• Are the raw materials and products produced high quality?
• Do they follow sustainable practices?

 

Re-Packing

Who? Businesses looking to re-package, re-label or reconfigure their products to fit the needs of their customers.

Why? There are several reasons you may need to re-pack your product before they can be sold to consumers. If your product was produced overseas and shipped to you, there is a high chance your products sustained some damage to the packaging. If your product was produced in bulk, you may need to have it re-packed to a smaller size for individual use. If your customer needs have changed you may need to re-pack items to better align with those needs.

How can you benefit?

• Quick turnaround time
• Quickly refresh old products with new packaging
• Custom packaging for your products

What to look for?

• How quickly can products be re-packed?
• Can packaging be completely customized to fit customer needs?
• Can they handle large projects?

 

Bulk/Wholesale

Who? Any company looking to buy in bulk at wholesale prices and reconfigure and/or resell at their desired price.

Why? Wholesalers act as a middleman between manufactures and retailers. They sell items in bulk directly from the manufacturer. It can benefit your company greatly to purchase products in bulk from a wholesaler versus continually buying small orders that can be more costly.

How can you benefit?

• Lower costs
• Better deals
• Reduce handling times

What to look for?

• How is their reputation?
• Are they consistent?
• Can they save you money?
