THE SHORT ANSWER
What does a contract packing company do?
A contract packing company completes packing work on behalf of another business. Also called a co-packer or contract packaging company, it can provide hand packing, packaging assembly, kitting, multipacks, repacking, relabelling, rework, promotional packing and quality checks—all defined by an agreed production brief.

Use a co-packing company when the work needs its own production route.
- A launch, promotion or seasonal date creates a defined packing requirement.
- Separate components need collating into consistent kits, sets or multipacks.
- Held stock needs repacking, relabelling or another agreed correction.
- A pack has manual assembly steps that are not suited to a standard automated line.
