September is upon us and with Christmas just around the corner, our contract packing team are busy packing Christmas packs for our customers. The Christmas rush starts around the end of August/ beginning of September continuing all the way through to December.
What is Contract Packing?
Contract Packing is the operation of packing items for redistribution also referred to as co-packing. Manufacturers sometimes produce items in bulk that they wish to have repackaged in a retail friendly manner, or in some cases in suitable packaging or quantities for the end customers.
This enables the product to be suitable for retail or wholesale purposes, helping customers expand their production capabilities – especially important during the Christmas season.
