Many consumer goods companies ship product from the warehouse to outside packging providers only to have the product return to the same warehouse. This increases freight costs and loses visibility to the product during packaging. AIL helps its consumer goods customers maintain visibility, reduce costs and speed cycle time by performing final product configuration and contract packaging services in the warehouse.
Furthermore, contract packaging services should not stop at simple execution of final packaging. 3PLs that have evolved their businesses to meet this emerging market demand will enable CPG companies to pursue a total outsourced model for contract packaging services, including display design and testing; sourcing and ownership of packaging materials; and equipment specification and purchasing.
