Repackaging Demands Increase for Versatile Packagers

TAMPA, Fla., July 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Tampa-based contract packaging company, Versatile Packagers, has experienced an increase in repackaging services as more companies demand a local partner.

"One contributing factor to the rising demand for repackaging is the need for a local partner. Companies want to see their product and marketing firsthand before it reaches the customer," says CEO of Versatile Packagers, Rick Shave. "As demand for repackaging increases, so does the need for local warehousing and fulfillment."

With many companies choosing to cost-effectively purchase product in bulk or product from outside of the country, many still demand the flexibility of packaging in the United States. According to Versatile Packagers, one of the downfalls of buying in bulk or from overseas is that the individual packaging of the items may not be customer-specified.

Repackaging allows the current packaging to be removed and replaced with the new customer-specified packaging (i.e. different boxes or marketing). Repackaging may also be necessary if a product inspection is required or if the client wants to change the number of product found within each package.

Bob Vande Weghe, President of Versatile Packagers, said, "While repackaging and switching to new packaging standards may require additional resources, choosing to package, repackage or warehouse products locally can increase fulfillment efficiencies. Having a local vendor also allows additional freight savings that can be passed along to the customer."

Versatile Packagers offers a vast array of repackaging services including club store packaging, taking pallets of product and repackaging to conform to club store requirements. Additional repackaging services include relabeling and redoing or undoing an existing type of packaging to reflect new standards.
