Packaging Options
At Outsource Packaging, we understand that packaging is a critical component of your product's success; it protects your goods, enhances brand identity, and ensures market readiness. Our packaging solutions are designed to meet a variety of needs, offering flexibility and customisation to suit your specific requirements. We provide both primary and secondary packaging options:
Primary Packaging
Primary packaging is the first layer that directly contains your product, playing a critical role in preserving its quality, safety, and usability. We provide a variety of primary packaging formats, each tailored to specific product needs:
- Bottles: Available in glass or plastic, in various shapes and sizes, perfect for liquids like beverages or essential oils.
- Jars: Ideal for creams, lotions, and other semi-solid personal care or cosmetic products.
- Tubes: Suitable for gels, ointments, and viscous materials, ensuring ease of use and product protection.
- Doy Pouches: A flexible, cost-effective option for a range of products, offering convenience and portability.
Our team collaborates closely with clients to select the ideal primary packaging, ensuring it aligns with your product specifications, brand identity, and market goals. For businesses seeking a unique edge, we offer custom solutions—such as embossed designs or innovative shapes—to differentiate your product on crowded shelves.
Sustainability Focus
With growing consumer awareness of environmental issues, sustainable packaging has become a priority for many businesses. At Outsource Packaging, we integrate eco-friendly practices into our packaging solutions, offering recyclable materials, biodegradable options, and designs that minimise waste. For example, our doy pouches use less plastic than traditional containers, lowering your environmental footprint without compromising product safety. We also explore cutting-edge materials like plant-based plastics or compostable films, helping you meet sustainability goals while appealing to eco-conscious consumers.
Secondary Packaging
Secondary packaging provides an additional layer of protection and serves as a key branding opportunity. Often, it's the first thing consumers encounter, so it's essential for creating a memorable impression. Our secondary packaging options include:
- Cartons: Customisable for product information and branding, enhancing shelf appeal.
- Shrink Wrapping: Provides security and tamper-evidence, ideal for multi-unit packs or individual items.
- Blister Packs: Perfect for small items or single units, offering visibility and protection.
- Gift Assembly: Elevates promotional or special edition products, adding value for your customers.
We also specialise in custom packaging solutions, allowing your business to create unique designs that stand out. Whether you need shrink wrapping for added security or innovative packaging formats, our flexible approach ensures we meet your needs.
