Product packaging
When it comes to own brands, your choice of product packaging is crucial. Packaging has the power to attract customers and is the first impression of your product. We understand that the visual presentation of product packaging helps attract consumers and persuade them to pick up a product, therefore we can offer your Own Brand Retail packs that will help consumers instantly recognize your products on the shelves.
Third Party Testing
To ensure our products stand up to your requirements, we don’t take anything for granted. Each lot is inspected and analysed by a reputable third-party laboratory to ensure the product matches or exceeds the specifications agreed to. Depending on the product and the region, most of the products are covered by BRC certification, ISO certification, HACCP principles, USDA, CERES and SGS.
Shipment
There are also distinct advantages of packaging in logistics, items that are boxed can be stacked and transported more easily than those that are loose, this makes shipping easier. Retail packing doesn’t just benefit the retailers. The simplified transition process from warehouse to shelf means better in-stock availability for suppliers.
