Contract Packers usually provide several packaging solutions for their clients. Here are some typical examples:

Hand Packing: Delicate or irregular shaped items are typically hand assembled into gift sets.

Shrink Wrapping: Often used to wrap many products with each other. Shrink wrap provides a tamper proof and presentable retail friendly appearance.

Labelling: To add bar codes or for branding reasons. Commonly used to relabel items for particular reasons.

Batch Coding: To print day codes for traceability or words for product information.

Warehousing: Secure storage facilities and inventory management.

Logistics: Co-packers are occasionally used for the onward distribution of product lines.

Reworking and Remedial Work: To correct packaging issues from another contract packer or producer.

Quality Control: Inspection is a major component of quality control, where the physical product is examined visually.

There isn’t one.

These are all different names for the same service.

Prices differentiate quite a lot from customer to customer, as every job is unique. Here are a few factors that affect the likely cost of the job:

Quantity - smaller runs usually cost more than larger ones

Type of packaging - some options are more expensive to make, and so have a higher price

Print options - printing artwork onto packaging adds to the cost, although digital printing can lower the price
