How Contract Packaging Gives You the Edge in 2025

Manufacturer are under constant pressure to move faster, reduce costs, and stay flexible. One solution that’s gaining momentum is Contract packaging.

Instead of hiring, training, and managing labor in-house—or investing in expensive equipment—you can outsource your packaging needs to a trusted partner. At Outsource Inc., we specialize in high-volume, short-run, and custom packaging projects that help companies stay lean and competitive.

What Is Contract Packaging?

Contract packaging (also called co-packing) is when a business hires a third party to handle part or all of its packaging operations. That could mean assembling a retail-ready product, shrink-wrapping a multi-pack, or palletizing and labeling for shipment.
