Importance of Integrated Packaging Solutions from Nichrome

Packaging line efficiency as well as the choice of packaging partner are crucial considerations for product manufacturers. Among the basic requirements of these manufacturers includes the capacity of the packaging solution supplier to manufacture and configure a completely integrated line – from primary to secondary to tertiary packaging. The advantages of having such an accomplished packaging partner include single-source convenience, improved cooperability between machines in the line, and overall flexibility of layout. A turnkey supplier is a vendor that provides holistic services – from the design to manufacturing to installation and after-sales assistance of the packaging line.

Important considerations for Integrated Packaging Lines

Some important considerations when configuring integrated packaging lines include:

• Desired production speed
• Layout design and floor space utilization
• Possibility of further expansion

Overview of the Types of Packaging:

Primary Packaging

Primary packaging is considered to be the packaging that is in direct contact with the product and is the first level of protection of the product. The chief objective of primary packaging is to contain, protect, and preserve the finished product – especially against contamination. This type of packaging is primarily intended for the end-user/consumer. It makes it more convenient for consumers to handle the products while making the product packaging more aesthetically appealing. It can also convey statutory information regarding the products printed on the packaging.

Secondary Packaging

Secondary packaging is an additional layer of packaging for products applied after the primary packaging so as to group a certain number of products into a single SKU. The primary role of secondary packaging is the provision of protection to the products as they move through the supply chain. It also preserves the integrity of the primary packaging.

Secondary packaging also makes it easier to transport large quantities of the packaged product from the manufacturer’s facilities to the end-user or point of sale.

Tertiary Packaging

Tertiary packaging is the third type of packaging used for the protection of manufactured products for shipping or storage. Its purpose is not only to protect the products but also to protect their primary and secondary packaging.

Tertiary packaging is usually not seen by consumers as it is normally removed by retailers before the products are placed on shelves for sale. Some examples of tertiary packaging include brown cardboard boxes, wood pallets, and shrink wrap.
