Versatile Packagers Decreases Freight Movement

TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Tampa-based contract packaging company, Versatile Packagers, has announced a decrease in freight movement for clients, as the ability to have all product fulfillment initiatives in one location has increased efficiency.  

"Our company's ability to bring in raw materials, package the product, put into warehousing, and then ship as needed to distribution centers, businesses or customers, eliminates the need for clients to move their product from supplier to supplier," said Rick Shave, CEO of Versatile Packagers.

Since 1992, Versatile Packagers has provided a wide array of contract packaging solutions, warehousing and fulfillment services. The company's third party logistics (3PL) services include B-2-B, B-2-C, Online Inventories, Automatic Order Management, Electronic Data Interfaces, Warehouse Management Systems, E-Commerce Fulfillment, First in First out (FIFO) Processing, and Pick and Pack Services for Cases, Pallets and Single Units.

Bob Vande Weghe, President of Versatile Packagers, said, "Outsourcing numerous product fulfillment activities to one location not only decreases freight time, but reduces the costs associated with inventory movement and storage space. Outsourcing additionally eliminates companies' peak staffing problems, avoids the cost of chasing the latest technologies and relieves executive teams from day-to-day process managing."  

In the past few months, Versatile Packagers has added call center support and e-commerce solutions to further increase efficiency and promote their "one stop shop" approach. The company is major retailer compliant and the facility is equipped with 16 Dock Bay Doors, 30 foot tilt wall construction, temperature controlled space, and food-grade warehousing.
