a professional packaging producer understands your business needs

Why Rely on a Professional Packaging Producer instead of a B2B Online Marketplace?

Posted on

When purchasing managers need to find reusable plastic packaging, they must follow various technical and economic guidelines, including the price. Thus, many of them contact pooling companies or visit online marketplaces for B2B purchases. However, working with a professional packaging producer is the most cost-effective and efficient solution.

Here are the reasons why:

1. Producers Source the Best Materials at Competitive Prices

Over the years, packaging producers build a strong network of vendors and suppliers. This allows them to purchase the best raw materials at discount prices. Thus, the cost of production is lower compared to other companies that produce a wider range of goods, without a particular focus on returnable plastic manufacturing.

Moreover, innovative packaging producers like Logistic Packaging are always one step ahead of other companies in terms of adopting new materials and technologies. Our R&D department is up to date with the latest developments in our industry. This allows us to offer clients better products, with a reduced impact on the environment and fully recyclable.

2. Local Packaging Companies Optimize their Operational Costs

More to the point, choosing a local packaging producer is a money-wise decision. With shorter delivery routes and strategically located manufacturing facilities and warehouses, these companies can deliver your packages faster and with lower transportation costs.

Moreover, you can rely on them for emergency last minute orders, even during the busy sales seasons.

3. Get the Product You Need, Not the Most Expensive Items

Marketplaces exist solely to sell all products – including the most expensive ones. And this is what the search system is programmed to recommend, especially to new clients.

By contrast, professional packaging producers like Logistic Packaging are focused on helping clients find the best products for their needs. We take the time to understand your business, products and packaging and shipping procedures. Then we recommend the packaging materials that offer the best protection to your products and have the optimal cost/benefit ratio.

4. Flexibility in Quantities and Financing Options

Once you build a solid relationship with a professional packaging producer, you will enjoy special terms on conditions, based on your company’s goodwill. For example, you can negotiate special financing options.

Or, you can place an order for fewer items than the standard minimum quantity, if you need to supplement your existing packaging stock. These conditions are not available in online marketplaces, where your business is just an account number, not a trusted and valued client.

5. Customization Options

One of the important benefits of working with a packaging producer directly is the ability to customize your packaging materials. Your can add anything from a lid or hot stamped company logo to more advanced customization options, such as:

  • Various product colors
  • Embedding RFID chips
  • Adding security features, such as a seal or anti-tampering label
  • Adding a reinforced bottom to increase the loading capacity of the box or container.

These options are easy to add if you order directly from the company producing the packages. Online marketplaces sell ready-made products, without the option of customizing them.

6. Hands-on Post-Sale Assistance

Implementing new packaging materials throughout your entire logistic loop is not easy. You may need to train employees how to handle them or adjust warehousing systems and automated conveyors for smooth running.

As packaging producers, we know how to help you make this transition easier. We will send someone to your premises for initial implementation. And we are available by phone or email with further advice and clarifications.

7. Developing Fully Customized Packaging Solutions

Some companies find it hard to purchase returnable packaging materials that fit their needs – because their needs are extremely specific. In this situation, the best option is to work with professional packaging producers.

We can design and build your unique packaging materials, based on your specifications. Whether you need atypical dimensions, extra loading capacity or specific safety or hygiene requirements, our team can deliver exactly what you need.
