How packaging impacts the cost of your products.

When buying or manufacturing specialized products, remember that packaging is as important to price development as the product itself.

If your retail packaging is designed and identified before price negotiations begin, you set yourself up for better pricing. This knowledge allows the manufacturer to be more flexible and creative with materials and labor needs to best meet your price targets.

REMEMBER:
Freight packaging can also impact the cost of your overall purchase. Keep efficiency in mind. An important question to ask yourself; how can the largest unit quantity be packaged into one carton without overpaying for weight?

Tell us some of your packaging stories and tips.
