Documentation
Documentation educated and eager to solve your packaging concerns
An excellent illustration of the need for documentation is a request for a closure for a container. A client is developing a new product to be in production in the next month. To accommodate the product a closure is essential. The company believes it can use the same closure from a previous product. When it is time for producing the new product, the closure procured does not work! The company is in a frantic and asks their supplier what closure was provided. The supplier replies back it was the standard closure they always give.
If the company provided the appropriate documentation, the company would receive the correct closure needed. By providing documentation, packaging items can be accounted for and prevent unnecessary challenges.
Quality
Quality educated and eager to solve your packaging concerns
Quality is an important part to any company and it should apply to packaging. Without striving for quality, the tone of company is set for lack of controls. Without any controls, companies have minimal influence in what is acceptable or what is not acceptable. For instance; if company A requires a container to place a product in for shipping, while company B may not require a specific type of container while others may specify a certain type. If there are complaints or issues about the type of container being used from customers, company B has no support where company A has a standard set in place and has influence.
Quality varies from company to company depending on value of product. The key importance of quality packaging is to ensure what is purchased, created, or specified is met. If packaging does not meet the quality standards it may lead to other issues within the company beyond packaging.

Supply Chain
Supply chain educated and eager to solve your packaging concerns
Like it or not, packaging is part of the modern day supply chain system. When distributing or launching a product takes place there are many factors to take into account. From shipping configurations, transportation mode, routing, shipping environment, and customs/government all are aspects in successfully making a product launch flawless.
If firms are not aware of these characteristics of the supply chain system, a normal day of business may become chaos. Similar to packaging; supply chain is one of the most important parts of a business relationship, but is seldom recognized for its efforts because it’s assumed to be understood.
A rational example of supply chain complexity is someone sending out a birthday gift to their loved one via the post office. The loved one’s birthday is tomorrow and the distance from the giver to the recipient is 100 miles. The giver assumes the gift will be provided on time. Not so fast. Although the recipient is 100 miles away, the post office has to send it over 400 miles to its distribution center to get it to the recipient. The chances are very slim the recipient will receive it on time.
The situation described above is a classic case why knowing your supply chain is vital to anyone who is moving an item from point A to B. It’s not as simple as it may be perceived.
