Why Cold Filling Plastic Bottles are an Investment, Not an Expense

  First impressions last, and this holds true for any product you’re trying to sell. Packaging can make or break this first impression. If you are in the food, beverage, cosmetic, or pharmaceutical market, cold filling plastic bottles is one of your best options. Done well, this type of packaging will entice your customers, communicate what your brand stands for, and preserve the integrity of your product.

Packaging is as Important as the Product Itself

No matter how great your product is, you’re taking a huge gamble if you treat packaging as an afterthought. Packaging is no longer a mere extension of the manufacturing process; it’s now a cornerstone of any successful marketing strategy, and cold filling plastic bottles can help fulfill that purpose in several ways.
  • Protects Your Product
You want your product to stay on the shelves for as long as possible without sacrificing quality. Cold filling helps prevent spoiling, thanks to advanced sterilization processes. It safeguards your product from all kinds of chemical, physical, and biological damage. It also eliminates the need for refrigeration and additional preservatives.
  • Makes Transportation Easier
Another major benefit of cold filling plastic bottles is the level of ease it lends to transporting your product, especially when it comes to liquids. Plastic-filled bottles are also durable and they prevent spillage and leaks. On top of this, this packaging method ensures that no dust or pollution can penetrate the bottles while in transit.
  • A Whole Range of Designs
Cold filled plastic bottles offer a wonderful canvas to showcase the aesthetics you want for your product. This type of packaging is also a cost-effective choice for small to medium businesses because the cold filling process can be used with all kinds of inexpensive and attractive bottles. Better yet, working with contract packagers means you don’t have to splurge on in-house designers. A professional contractor can take care of everything from design to assembly of your product line.
  • Product Identification
Apart from design, cold filled plastic bottles also lend themselves well to product labels. Product information, such as barcodes, ingredients, nutrition, and sell-by dates can easily be printed on labels to mark your product clearly.
  • Green Options
If environmental consciousness is part of your brand identity, cold filling can also help you live out this mission. There are bottle options available that not only offer all the benefits of cold filling, but are also green and good for the environment.
  • Enhances Operations
Cold filling packaging not only makes your product presentable; in the right hands, it can also contribute to the streamlining of your operations. Cold filling plastic bottles can decrease time requirements, add to energy savings, and decrease operating costs. In turn, all those savings can be channeled to other aspects of your business.

You Don’t Have to DIY

Sophisticated packaging methods, such as cold filling, require specific technical skills and equipment. Fortunately, contract packaging services let you obtain the best quality packaging that’s right for your product. In fact, a knowledgeable company can:
  • Envision
  • Design
  • Make
  • Fill

Key Benefits of Plastic Tube Packaging

With the variety of options contract packaging services offer, choosing the correct packaging for your product is becoming a difficult choice. Outsourcing packaging services to other companies is a great way to ease the stress on your part regarding the packaging your product needs. Here’s why it is better to outsource:

BENEFITS OF OUTSOURCING CONTRACT PACKAGING SERVICES

  • Outsourcing minimizes the cost of your company as you will be devoting less workforce and operational expenses for the planning and creation of a packaging.
  • Outsourcing allows you to focus on your core business and further improve your brand.
  • By getting the services of a contract packager, you save on the cost to acquire hardware for packaging, not to mention the trained workforce to produce the package.
  • By partnering with a reliable contract packager like Consolidated Strategy Group, you can take advantage of years of experience in providing the best packaging services adapted to suit your product’s needs.
Once partnered with a trustworthy contract packager, you should now decide on what packaging you should choose for your product. Consult with your contract packaging services provider and hear out what they have to say. If they are worth their salt, they’ll be thinking about the following factors when conceptualizing your product’s packaging:
  • Audience: You would want a packaging that would appeal to your target market. For instance, if your audience is children, then putting pictures of cartoon characters and fun and colorful images might help grab their attention.
  • Transport: How secure would your product be transported in a specific packaging? Look ahead! Not thinking about this straight up might incur you unnecessary transportation costs.
  • Material: Think about your product and respect it. Know its needs and understand what type of material can serve these needs.
  • Human interaction: In a fancier term, ergonomics, or how people interact with your product. If your consumers encounter problems regarding how to access your product because of the way it is packed, your brand is in trouble.
With all these in mind, let us look how plastic tube packaging checks all these boxes.

ADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC TUBES

As such, the manufacturing process of plastic tubes has been developed and improved dramatically to the point that its advantages are significantly highlighted. Here are some:
