How to Select a Plastic Packaging Supplier

How to Select a Plastic Packaging Supplier

1. Research Professional Membership Directories.

Directories such as ThomasNet® have a whole host of product and supplier manufacturers on their website, you may wish to select a few companies who can supply your plastic packaging product first and contact them directly with a list of questions you may have to help make a shortlist.

 2. Can the Plastic Packaging Manufacturing Company Meet your Business Needs

You may already be producing a product that is on the shelves and now looking for a company who can continue to supply packaging for your ongoing needs? Or you have a new product that is going to market and require assistance in developing the right kind of packaging for it to succeed in the marketplace. Plascene has worked with clients at various business stages and fully understands the obstacles and the solutions for delivering the best plastic packaging.

 3. Does the Manufacturer Supply the Plastic Packaging you Require

If you require multiple levels of design or for example need the use of recycled PET products, not all plastic packaging companies are going to be able to meet your business goals. Plascene can deliver printed caps, color, embed a logo onto a bottle or even design and engineer a completely different bottle shape. We can supply recycled PET and other more sustainable plastic packaging solutions and typical clients demand 100,000 to 20 million pieces per year receiving very responsive customer service at every stage of development and distribution.

4. Set up a Meeting with your Selected Packaging Supplier/s

Whether geographically it makes sense to meet in person, organize a call or virtual meeting, it’s a good idea to set out any questions or goals that you wish to inquire about, this will also assist the packaging company in presenting the right kind of solutions for your plastic packaging and better understand any design and distribution outcomes to consider at your meeting. 

5. Select your Plastic Packing Company

Now that you have a good understanding of how your selected plastic packaging companies can address your project, you should be in a position to select the company you wish to use. The right company will have answered all of your questions and you should have a good understanding of what the timelines and deliverables will be.
