What Is Contract Packaging?
Contract Packaging Defined
What cleaning product comes to mind when you hear: The Quicker Picker-Upper? Tough-On-Grease? 99.44% Pure? Kills Bugs Dead? To listen to these advertising slogans probably invokes a picture in one’s mind of the products they represent. In this case, the products are Bounty Paper Towels, Dawn Dish Detergent, Ivory Soap, and Raid, insect repellent.
The best means of increasing sales of a product is ensuring the product ‘sticks’ prominently in the minds of those individual consumers who buy. In advertising, an easy-to-remember slogan brings the product to mind when at the local market and looking to purchase paper towels, dish detergent, hand soap, and insect repellant. Such advertising also increases the cost of these products!
With the current ongoing emphasis of ‘germ warfare’ targeted to schools, offices, restaurants, and sports stadiums, along with the higher costs for doing business these days, bringing businesses and organizations to call to mind a specific cleaning brand for daily business use requires providing a low-cost yet effective cleaning product. That said, cleaning supply vendors are seeing the value of outsourcing their work to an outside contractor to achieve the delicate balance of cost-effectiveness with product quality with what is defined as contract packaging agreements.
Contract packaging by a general official definition is using an outside contractor to produce a business supply company’s product — in strict accord to their written specifications. The procedure, also called contract filling, supplies the outside contractor with all the necessary material to complete the product.
