Expertise to handle any product density and particle size
With decades of experience, a clean and professionally managed facility, and an array of modern equipment for scaling products, National Packaging offers all the above and much more.
Maintaining product quality as you scale can be tough
We’ve seen and dealt with all the complexities food companies face as they grow:
- Production Capacity: When you get your first big order, you can find out pretty fast you don’t have the right blenders or adequate space to meet increased demand and maintain quality.
- Inefficiency: Wrong-sized equipment can lead to complicated workflows and excessive product handling. And the wrong blender for your recipe can slow down production, damage your product, increase waste, and more.
- Product Fidelity: It’s much harder to create a true-to-recipe, homogenous blend at 2000 lbs than it is at 100 lbs. Without the right process, you can end up with clumps, ingredient settling, particle deterioration, and more.
- Testing Bottlenecks: In addition to ramping up production speed, you have to be able to increase quality-testing to match, and any delays mean your product starts piling up.
- Regulatory Compliance: As you start dealing with large retailers, you have to be SQF-certified and follow regulatory requirements for food safety, social accountability, and more.
- Cash Flow: Scaling production requires investment, and it may take time for increased sales to generate sufficient cash flow to cover the costs. You need strategic guidance to keep costs down.
- Reputation Protection: As you scale up, reputation becomes increasingly important, and that means both delivering on-time-in-full (OTIF) and maintaining quality and consistency at higher volume.
- Research and Development: To scale your products and company, you’ve got to be able to efficiently test new formulations and processes for higher-volume production.
We’ll help you think strategically about blending and mixing and address these issues proactively — plus prepare for the new challenges of an ever-changing market
