Debunking the Top 5 Myths About Outsourcing Kitting and Packaging
Businesses spend a lot of time developing their products, with efficient production methods and quality control. When it comes to packaging for inventory or sale, this is one area that requires just as much attention but can unfortunately be an afterthought. Most companies and manufacturers are experts at what they do, the same goes for kitting and packaging companies.
By outsourcing to an experienced contract packager, you can actually improve your productivity and profitability by focusing on what you do best. Here are some of the top 5 myths that may prevent some companies from realizing the many benefits of outsourcing:

Myth #2: Outsourcing is only for large companies, not small to medium sized businesses.
We hope you realize the myth in that statement immediately. Nothing could be further from the truth as small to mid sized enterprises (SMEs) play a major role in the economy and help to drive innovation. SMEs focusing on producing their goods or providing their services greatly benefit by outsourcing kitting and packaging to continue to grow their business with a trusted packaging partner on their team.
