Packaging
What is Primary and Secondary Packaging?
Packaging is really two fold (pun intended):
- Primary packaging is the container that holds the actual product. It is the jar that holds your eye cream or the wrapper that covers the nutritional bar you had as a snack today. An easy way to remember this is “primary,” meaning one or first, is first thing that touches the product.
- Secondary packaging is the box or container that the primary package goes in. It is second to the product. It is the box you see on the store shelf containing the jar of eye cream or the box holding the full pack of wrapped nutritional bars.
Our Primary Packaging Services:
- SUP – Custom printed flexible pouches and bags that protect its contents from moisture, odor, pests, air, and light.
- Roll Stocks – Custom printed roll stock for horizontal wrappers or form, fill, and seal (FFS) machines.
- Shrink Sleeves – Shrink sleeves are formed like a tube and then slid over a container to be labeled. Heat is applied to shrink the label for a snug fit contouring to the shape of the container.
- 3 Sided Seal – Custom printed packaging available in a wide range of barrier properties that to fit your application, while sealing in such things as freshness, flavor, and nutritional qualities.
- Food Safe Printing – We use food-safe inks that are water-based, non-toxic, and free of UV-reactive chemistries in compliance with FDA standards for packaging that comes in direct contact with food.
