What Are Contract Packaging or Turnkey Packaging Services?

Contract packaging or turnkey packaging is a service provided by a manufacturer who operates through a predetermined contract. Also known as co-packing services, contract packaging services are a common way for manufacturers to get their products packaged at an outsourced location for improved efficiency, productivity and profitability. Given that the co-packager has the floor space and resources available, a product manufacturer that outsources packaging can have more time to focus on the product itself.

If you are looking for a contract packaging partner, contact RSP to begin the process of getting your products packaged.

Here is an example of one of our packaging assembly lines. Our employees are working with blister packaging.

No. RSP is a full-service end-to-end solution provider with engineering, prototyping, pre-production, production, packaging, logistics and order-fulfillment services.

What Separates RSP from Other Packagers?

Unlike some of our competitors, RSP is not a huge contract packaging company that works only with large-volume clients. We are flexible and nimble enough to work with small and midsize companies that need high-quality, attentive service at a reasonable price.

Our facility and warehouses are centrally located in southeastern Wisconsin, allowing us to more efficiently serve the entire country and provide incoming and outgoing logistics support to our clients.

As a manufacturer of packaging with over 50 years of experience, we have the expertise to not only supply packaging but also design it and make sure it is the right fit for your product and requirements. Our team has worked with food packaging, outdoor products, industrial equipment, medical packaging and more.

RSP can assist with simple projects to complex projects that require custom packaging solutions and development of customized equipment.

Sustainable Packaging Options

RSP is a leader in the use of sustainable packaging. We have worked with hemp, fibers, recycled materials, and more.

We have developed sheets and rolls made from 75% recycled ocean material, in standard thicknesses from 0.2mm to more than 1mm. Because it functions similarly to virgin and other recycled PET, our food-grade material integrates seamlessly into any application so that you can meet your sustainability goals.

Applications:

  • Thermoformed blister packs, trays and clamshells
  • Printed displays and labels requiring no special preparation
  • Foldable cartons

Try this rPET material in any of your current PET applications. We can supply rolls and sheets for your own. Or if you prefer a convenient turnkey solution, let us fabricate your finished product.
