Packaging Consultation

With 50 years in the contract packaging industry, BCI has extensive experience with producing customer packaging for large retail outlets like Costco, K-Mart, Sam's Club, Target and Wal-Mart. With over 100 years of combined customer packaging experience, BCI's sales and product staff offers a wealth of packaging knowledge and experience.

BCI can assist in your packaging design, or review your design prior to implementation for manufacturability and other cost optimization opportunities. This is critical in achieving high quality, cost effective results. At no additional cost to you, our packaging consultation includes:

• Providing economical choices of packaging design and materials:
  
  Examples include:
  • Choosing between shrink wrapping or shrink banding.
  • Developing different tray designs
  • Sizing retail boxes and determining pallet pattern to maximize pallet utilization
• Developing samples of finished product
  • BCI will create samples before beginning production so you can be confident the finished product will meet you expectations.
• Creating samples of various packaging configurations
  • Not sure which design would give the best shelf appearance? BCI will create samples of each option to help you make the best choice.
• Detailing cost impact of different choices
  • BCI will detail costs of various packaging options - including material AND labor to help you make the best choice.
• Identifying cost reduction opportunities
  • BCI is focused on helping our customers identify and implement cost reductions. BCI will run tests to ensure the cost reductions will not negatively impact product quality or shipping stability.

We also offer a large selection of vendors that we work closely with to order components or additional services that might be needed at competitive pricing. Our shipping and warehousing department can also assist in transportation options that are available once your product is ready for ship.
