Before looking for a packaging supplier, enterprises should first clarify their own packaging needs, including:
Product characteristics: Different products such as fragile, heavy, liquid, powder, etc. have different requirements for packaging materials (such as aluminum-plastic packaging, composite film, stretch film, etc.);
Packaging form: whether roll film packaging, zipper bags, stand-up bags, eight-side sealing bags, or special functional packaging such as moisture-proof and anti-oxidation are required;
Batch and delivery cycle: daily batch, special holiday promotion orders or long-term cooperation inventory guarantee.
Only by clarifying these core elements can we select partners suitable for our business from a large number of suppliers.
Evaluate the professional capabilities and qualifications of suppliers
An excellent packaging production company should have the following core capabilities:
Raw material quality assurance: whether food-grade, environmentally friendly and recyclable materials are selected;
Advanced production equipment: whether it has fully automatic high-speed bag making equipment, printing equipment, etc.;
Customized service capabilities: whether it can provide professional services such as structural design and printing design according to customer needs;
Quality management system: whether it has passed ISO, BRC, FDA and other international certifications.
Compare suppliers' production efficiency and delivery capabilities
Production efficiency directly affects the delivery cycle and the pace of corporate operations. When choosing a supplier, you should pay attention to:
On-time delivery rate: whether it can deliver on time according to the contract;
Capacity guarantee capability: whether it can handle large-volume orders;
Whether it supports emergency order processing: whether the supplier has a contingency mechanism in the peak promotion season or sudden project situations.
Although the packaging cost accounts for a small proportion of the overall cost of the product, it is still an expense that cannot be ignored when placing large batches of orders. Therefore, enterprises should evaluate the cost-effectiveness from the following aspects:
Is the unit price reasonable;
Is there a customized discount;
Is it possible to reduce packaging consumables through structural optimization;
Is long-term cooperation able to obtain more attractive cooperation policies.
High-quality packaging is not only cheap, but also needs to match the product value and enhance the brand image.
Service and after-sales support
In the actual cooperation process, after-sales service is also an important criterion for evaluating the pros and cons of packaging suppliers:
Is it possible to respond quickly to problem handling;
Is it possible to provide packaging performance testing and data analysis;
Is it possible to provide logistics tracking and abnormal assistance;
Is it possible to have a sense of cooperation for continuous optimization.
