co-packing

Synonym of order consolidation.

Co-packing is something we encounter every day—often without even realizing it. It’s the process of preparing goods for further distribution or sale. It involves assembling different products into one package to create a ready-to-ship set or sales unit.

The process of outsourcing the packing process.

That said, handing over operations to a co-packing partner is no easy decision. The quality of your end product, after all, depends on the success of your food production process. Sellers of food products — who may be accustomed to preparing and packaging products themselves or with a small team — also know that packaging and labels are often what draw customers in.
