If you are a novice producer of natural products or a manufacturing pro, one thing is quite certain, packaging can be a beast. Not only do you want to relay your ideas and standards with your customers and clients but you want to know that you can get your tried and true resources whenever necessary. Not as easy as we all know. Sometimes that perfect shade of Egyptian Blue glass that you hark as your trademark is just not available, now what?? In a case such as this, ingenuity and a glass of wine doesn’t hurt.
But seriously, planning ahead and making friends with suppliers doesn’t hurt either. Get to know your resources and how they supply themselves, this way you’re a bit ahead of the curve. Be flexible, if you can’t get exactly what you need then you have a plan B.
Be sensible with your packaging. When handling your own products, do you really want a label (and your name) to go down the drain after its first use in the shower?
And last but not least, remember to hold true to your standard, a faulty container just because it was less expensive, can ruin your beautiful product.
So go ahead and seek your standards and do your homework. Joan Morais Naturals has an astounding page of Suppliers and Link resources where she has done quite a lot of leg work for you already: Link Here.
Happy Hunting!
