Key Aspects of Packaging and Repackaging in 3PL:
- Packaging:
- Primary Packaging: Involves the initial packaging of a product, which could be its retail-ready packaging, such as boxes, bottles, or wrappers that the end customer will see.
- Secondary Packaging: Encompasses additional layers of protection, such as cartons or boxes that hold multiple primary packages together, typically used for shipping purposes.
- Protective Packaging: Utilizes materials like bubble wrap, foam, air pillows and crafted paper to safeguard products against damage during transit.
- Repackaging:
- Product Reconfiguration: Adjusting or changing the packaging of a product, often due to damaged packaging, promotional needs, or compliance with new shipping requirements.
- Kitting and Bundling: Combining multiple products into a single package, such as creating gift sets or promotional bundles.
- Compliance Repackaging: Ensuring that products meet specific regulatory or retail requirements, which might include adding labels, barcodes, or additional protective materials.
