Why Should You Outsource to a Contract Packaging Company

Packing and selling food-based products come with an extensive list of regulations. Here at CTI, we have certifications in SQF, NSF/ANSI 455-2, QAI organic, and OU Kosher. Our Quality team has the training and understanding of these regulations and can help you take the guesswork out of packing a quality, safe product for your consumers.

A major factor in ensuring your product sells is creating an aesthetically pleasing design that will catch the eye of your target consumer. Our contract packaging process can help you identify the best packaging container to not only attract buyers but also to maintain the freshness and the quality of your product. At CTI, we have a personal mission to be more sustainable and explore green packaging initiatives. If this is something near and dear to your company’s values and mission, we would love to help you make that a reality.

The 3 Phases of the CTI Contract Packaging Process

Here at CTI, we use a 3-phase approach to our custom contract packaging design and development process. Each phase is unique and important, allowing us to deliver a customized and thorough approach to each customer and product. Ultimately, this will allow us to service you and your company in the best way possible so you can deliver the best product to your customers!

1. Research and Analysis
2. Strategy
3. Design and Implementation

Phase 1 – Research & Analysis

Our contract packaging process begins with research and analysis. In this phase, we begin studying your packaging to gain an understanding of the look, feel, and functionality you desire. We will compare your packaging to competitors to see how you compare and differ from other high-selling products in your market. This phase allows us to provide feedback on ways to improve products on both an aesthetic and functional level and sets us up to better assist in the following phases.

Phase 2 – Strategy

During the Strategy Phase, we will determine the areas that are most concerning about the current packaging design. We will discuss with you how these concerns affect packaging and/or the product and use this as a guide for possible new packaging improvements. With your input, we can determine the benefits of your package and how to improve upon them.

Phase 3 – Design & Implement

The last phase of the contract packaging process involves creating the initial concepts surrounding your new packaging. We do this with the information gathered during the first two phases of our process. We’ll help you create a concept after you’ve approved the design, and then we’ll help you prototype and manufacture the new product concept at our facility located in Bristol, Indiana.

Food and retail packaging should adequately represent your company and its attention to detail. That’s why CTI works hard to keep your product looking amazing and performing at its best. Your contract packaging services of choice should:

• Protect your product from the elements, including odors, vapors, and moisture.
• Ensure long-lived freshness, which can boost your product’s taste and overall quality.
• Keep your product like-new through the processes of shipping, storage, and retail sales.

Not all food packaging companies can provide the key services above. However, CTI has strived to obtain the skills and knowledge necessary to design and implement the right packaging design for your product. Our team is committed to staying up to date on new packaging developments and initiatives and believes in continuous learning and improvements.

When you want to deliver only the highest quality products to your customers, not any vitamin packaging contractor will do. CTI’s contract packaging services will provide amazing service and quality to ensure the safety of your project taking the stress of packaging off your plate.
