Tube Filling in the Design Process

Why You Should Include Your Tube Filling Co-packer in the Design Process

,

Packaging can have a significant impact on whether a customer throws a product into their shopping cart or doesn't give it a second look. Label design can be as important as the product itself; if the package looks good, it draws more attention. One of the most efficient ways to achieve professional-looking packages is to work with tube filling co-packers. Co-packing companies not only have the latest equipment to provide various packaging solutions like sachets, tubes, and cold filling plastic bottles, but they can also be a valuable resource in the design process. Here at Consolidated Strategy Group, we offer a wide variety of design options to choose from, some of which are:
  • Printing
Printing is a practical way of designing a package especially for single color prints or those with large print areas. You can also get nearly 360-degree coverage if that's what you prefer. We have special equipment that can print right on the tube itself.
  • Labeling
If you need greater graphic details, you might want to choose labels instead. They can be printed with more colors, and high-speed labeling equipment can process tubes quickly. This makes them a cost-effective option for big projects. Labels can also contain UPCs if required.
  • Pad Printing
For smaller tubes and for those that only need printing on one side, pad printing offers a good solution. Unlike labels or screen printing that is rolled onto the tubes, the diameter of the tube limits the scope of pad printing.
  • Shrink Labels
Some products, such as pharmaceuticals or food items, require tamper-proof tubing. Shrink labels are a great way to achieve this by sliding over the tube and forming a tight seal through heat. If you select clear tube packaging, these sleeves can be located near the top of the package to show off the product inside while still providing tamper resistance. These are just some of the ways we as your co-packer can decorate a product. It's important to note that these solutions require specific equipment and specialized skills which will require an additional investment that can break your budget. Another reason you should involve co-packers in the design process is that they already have vast experience when it comes to packaging design. Your co-packer will be able to suggest new ideas if you’re on the fence about the final design you’re going for. They’ll also be able to explain why a certain decoration might work for a certain type of packaging, and another may not. Finally, co-packing companies also offer other services that complement packaging design such as manufacturing displays. If needed, you can also choose to add on glass or lighting to maximize the impact of your product display.

Why Cold Filling Plastic Bottles are an Investment, Not an Expense

  First impressions last, and this holds true for any product you’re trying to sell. Packaging can make or break this first impression. If you are in the food, beverage, cosmetic, or pharmaceutical market, cold filling plastic bottles is one of your best options. Done well, this type of packaging will entice your customers, communicate what your brand stands for, and preserve the integrity of your product.

Packaging is as Important as the Product Itself

No matter how great your product is, you’re taking a huge gamble if you treat packaging as an afterthought. Packaging is no longer a mere extension of the manufacturing process; it’s now a cornerstone of any successful marketing strategy, and cold filling plastic bottles can help fulfill that purpose in several ways.
  • Protects Your Product
You want your product to stay on the shelves for as long as possible without sacrificing quality. Cold filling helps prevent spoiling, thanks to advanced sterilization processes. It safeguards your product from all kinds of chemical, physical, and biological damage. It also eliminates the need for refrigeration and additional preservatives.
  • Makes Transportation Easier
Another major benefit of cold filling plastic bottles is the level of ease it lends to transporting your product, especially when it comes to liquids. Plastic-filled bottles are also durable and they prevent spillage and leaks. On top of this, this packaging method ensures that no dust or pollution can penetrate the bottles while in transit.
  • A Whole Range of Designs
Cold filled plastic bottles offer a wonderful canvas to showcase the aesthetics you want for your product. This type of packaging is also a cost-effective choice for small to medium businesses because the cold filling process can be used with all kinds of inexpensive and attractive bottles. Better yet, working with contract packagers means you don’t have to splurge on in-house designers. A professional contractor can take care of everything from design to assembly of your product line.
  • Product Identification
Apart from design, cold filled plastic bottles also lend themselves well to product labels. Product information, such as barcodes, ingredients, nutrition, and sell-by dates can easily be printed on labels to mark your product clearly.
  • Green Options
If environmental consciousness is part of your brand identity, cold filling can also help you live out this mission. There are bottle options available that not only offer all the benefits of cold filling, but are also green and good for the environment.
  • Enhances Operations
Cold filling packaging not only makes your product presentable; in the right hands, it can also contribute to the streamlining of your operations. Cold filling plastic bottles can decrease time requirements, add to energy savings, and decrease operating costs. In turn, all those savings can be channeled to other aspects of your business.

You Don’t Have to DIY

Sophisticated packaging methods, such as cold filling, require specific technical skills and equipment. Fortunately, contract packaging services let you obtain the best quality packaging that’s right for your product. In fact, a knowledgeable company can:
  • Envision
  • Design
  • Make
  • Fill
  • Assemble
