A great experience!

We loved working with Jim and Andrea at Assemblies Unlimited! We have been working with them for about a year now and we finally got our salad dressing up and running! My daughter Lauren has worked so hard with both of them and we couldn't be more proud of her! Thanks again Jim and Andrea for a great experience and I would highly recommend Assemblies Unlimited for your product production!

Made the process for us, fast and efficient!

We’ve worked with Jim DeKosta for over a year now – since our product was just a concept. Since that time, we’ve gone through product development and production as well as packaging concept, development, testing and production. Jim has always made the process for us, fast and efficient. Our experience was further challenged by the supply chain disruptions driven by COVID. Jim once commented that in his role, packaging, they’re always the last mile in the supply chain. All the problems that cause delays upstream in the supply chain flow downstream so that when AUI receives the products for packaging – every delay short and long accumulates and the urgency to ‘pack and ship’ becomes even more urgent. All I can say – given these strange times and unpredictable supply chains, you can’t do better than having someone like Jim/AUI in your corner getting you to market.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Contract Packaging

Contract packaging, also known as co-packing or third-party packaging, is the process of outsourcing the packaging and assembly of products to a third-party provider.

The main benefits of contract packaging include cost savings, increased efficiency, and improved flexibility. By outsourcing packaging and assembly, businesses can focus on their core competencies and reduce their overhead costs.

A wide range of products can be packaged through contract packaging, including food and beverage products, cosmetics and personal care items, nutraceuticals, and industrial products.

When looking for a contract packaging provider, it's important to consider factors such as the provider's experience and reputation, their packaging capabilities, and their ability to meet your specific needs. You can ask for references, discuss specific project needs, or look for prominent industry recognition.

During the contract packaging process, you should expect to work closely with the provider to ensure that your products are packaged according to your specifications or discuss specific requirements. This may include designing packaging, labeling and branding, as well as testing and quality control.

The cost of contract packaging will vary depending on the provider, the products being packaged, and the complexity of the packaging process. It's important to speak with your packaging specialist to ensure you're getting the best value for your money.

The length of the contract packaging process will depend on the specific project. On average, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, but this can vary depending on the complexity of the project and the lead times for materials, plant location, and equipment used.
