Benefits of Having a Packaging Partner in Your Supply Chain

Written by Bill Madl | Nov 30, 2017 7:14:00 AM

You bubble over with vision. Creativity. The ability to sweep customers off their feet. You are willing to take chances. You’re what’s known as an entrepreneur. 

When it comes to all the other stuff–developing, producing, packaging, and delivering–well, it’s hard to get that excited.

Unless you’re someone who lives for those tasks.

When you partner with experts to help you run a smooth packaging supply chain, you benefit from the best of both worlds. Not only do you get to free yourself from the details and minutiae of cardboard, bubble wrap, shipping deadlines, and displays, but you can rest easy knowing that someone else is taking care of those duties with a passion. Yes, there are companies that not only specialize in but love the “dirty work!”

How to Choose a Packaging Supplier 

It’s not enough to just find a supplier. One who isn’t qualified to package or distribute your product will end up costing you more time and money. Keep the following points in mind while you search.

  • Does the supplier have a proven track record? What kinds of products have they packaged and fulfilled in the past year?
  • Who are their satisfied customers? Ask for referrals to get detailed responses about the customer experience.
  • Is the supplier willing to take the time to answer your questions? If not, go elsewhere! If so, ask plenty of questions to ensure you identify the right supplier, one who knows the process and understands your business.

Allow a qualified Packaging Company to manage your packaging and supplies and free up that time you spend chasing down last-minute orders. When you have time to focus on your core competencies rather than packaging, you have time to keep innovating and changing the world with your ideas.
