Practical insights to help you improve packaging, control quality, reduce bottlenecks, and make informed outsourcing decisions.


Value Added for Your End User
We know the fastener industry is a competitive one. So, how do you add value to your services? Getting a leg up on your competitors can be tedious and frustrating to find ways to be more efficient and outshine other fastener companies. The best strategy is to know what you are doing. When you know how to communicate with your clients about their wants, and then understand their needs that they might not even know of, you can provide a higher quality service. Clients will utilize and refer other businesses to companies that offer the best product and solutions.

Why Can’t I Package Products Myself?
How much will packaging cost? When you hear the answer or think, "We'll have our warehouse package our own product," you may not realize how much packaging products yourself costs. Without a system in place for each of your products, it will take more time and money to get set up.

Made in America: Outsourcing
Hoards of manufacturers depend on Chinese shipping and manufacturing. In light of the Coronavirus, and other world events, many of America’s manufacturers from auto to appliance industries are finding their products elsewhere. This causes bumps in the road when things don’t ship as fast or in the same packaging they used to. The not so delicate system of manufacturing flowing from one place to another has been disrupted over and over again in the last decade. It’s now unwise for many manufacturers to rely on shipping from China. Their uncertainties are too great, and the risk is far too high to get the job done.

Meeting the New Standards
The manufacturing industry is grinding its gears to meet new protocols and standards in every industry. The products and pieces for medical fields, furniture, auto parts, all have to start somewhere. They are held together by nuts, bolts, spacers, and many other parts.

New Found Efficiency
We are surrounded by convenience, self-service, and personalized needs. We see the solution to many of these changes in manufacturing specifically. Justifying the cost of abundant labor to count fasteners, assemble items, or sort the tedious parts of your project is no longer necessary. Component Packaging facilitates these needs by being the problem solver for your company. We take on your difficult problems with ease by taking the time-eating source of labor out of your process and providing you with finished boxes of ready-to-use kits at a fixed cost.

Bringing Business Home
In theory, tariffs are supposed to make U.S.-made products more affordable than imported ones. The good news is, we always keep your bottom line in mind. If you were importing products already packaged, the new tariff is probably increasing your costs. No worries! You can do your packaging domestically with Component Packaging.

New Equipment, New Capabilities
We have added a brand new packaging line to our automated production area. This new piece of equipment from Automated Packaging brings state-of-the-art technology as well as enhanced capabilities. The new bagging machine joins the 9 other production lines bringing us to a total of 10 automated packaging lines.

Deciding to Outsource: Factors to Consider
Deciding to outsource your component packaging operations is no small matter. But when done right, outsourcing can boost your efficiency, enhance your product quality, and keep you ahead of the curve in a never-competitive market.
