Rigid Packaging Solutions Built Around Your Packaging Challenges

Empire EMCO helps manufacturers solve complex rigid packaging challenges through packaging consulting, engineering support, global sourcing, cost optimization, supply chain risk reduction, and inventory and warehouse programs.

More Than Packaging Distribution

Start With the Packaging Problem, Not Just the Package

Choosing a bottle, jar, closure, or other rigid packaging component is only part of the decision. The right solution also depends on performance, cost, manufacturing capability, supply continuity, logistics, inventory, and how the package interacts with the product.

Empire EMCO works with manufacturers to evaluate these factors together. Our team helps identify packaging options, solve performance problems, source components, manage supply risk, and develop programs designed around real production requirements.

The result is a packaging strategy focused on finding the right solution rather than simply supplying another packaging component.

Six Ways We Help Manufacturers Solve Rigid Packaging Challenges

Packaging decisions affect far more than the price of a container. They can influence production efficiency, product performance, freight costs, inventory, supply continuity, and speed to market.

Packaging Solution 01

Packaging Cost Reduction

Reduce total packaging costs through lightweighting, material optimization, packaging redesign, supplier alternatives, freight improvements, tooling strategies, and total landed cost analysis.

Start With Your Challenge

What Rigid Packaging Problem Are You Trying to Solve?

Manufacturers often come to Empire EMCO because a packaging problem has already appeared. Our job is to help determine what is causing it and identify practical ways to solve it.

Our packaging costs are too high. Evaluate lightweighting, alternate materials, suppliers, freight, tooling, component rationalization, and total landed cost.
Our package is leaking, paneling, cracking, or failing. Evaluate bottle design, material, closures, sealing, compatibility, tooling, and package performance.
We cannot find the right packaging supplier. Identify manufacturers based on capability, geography, production requirements, quality, cost, and lead time.
We rely too heavily on one packaging source. Develop alternate sourcing, dual-source, domestic sourcing, global sourcing, and supply continuity strategies.
We are carrying too much packaging inventory. Evaluate warehousing, forecasting, release schedules, safety stock, and inventory management programs.
We are not sure what packaging solution we need. Start with the application and requirements, then evaluate components, materials, design, sourcing, and supply strategy.
Our Packaging Approach

From Packaging Challenge to Supply Solution

Empire EMCO approaches rigid packaging as a complete system. We look beyond the individual bottle, jar, closure, or component to understand how design, engineering, sourcing, inventory, logistics, and manufacturing requirements work together.

Why Empire EMCO

Packaging Expertise Beyond the Product Catalog

The right packaging solution is rarely determined by a single specification.

Cost, product compatibility, material, closure performance, tooling, manufacturing capability, freight, lead time, inventory, and supply continuity can all affect the final packaging decision.

Empire EMCO brings these considerations together to help manufacturers evaluate rigid packaging as part of a larger operating and supply-chain system.

Rigid Packaging Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Packaging Solutions

What does a rigid packaging consultant do?
A rigid packaging consultant helps manufacturers evaluate packaging requirements and identify appropriate bottles, jars, containers, closures, materials, suppliers, tooling, inventory strategies, and other packaging solutions. Consulting can also include troubleshooting packaging performance problems and reducing packaging costs or supply-chain risk.
How can Empire EMCO help reduce packaging costs?
Packaging cost reduction can involve lightweighting, alternative materials, supplier changes, tooling strategies, freight optimization, case-pack improvements, component rationalization, inventory programs, and evaluating total landed cost rather than component price alone.
Does Empire EMCO provide packaging engineering support?
Yes. Packaging engineering support may include bottle and container design, closure compatibility, seal integrity, material selection, tooling considerations, package performance, paneling, stress cracking, prototyping, and troubleshooting packaging failures.
Can Empire EMCO source packaging globally?
Yes. Empire EMCO works with domestic and global packaging manufacturing sources and helps evaluate suppliers based on manufacturing capability, quality, tooling, cost, logistics, lead time, and supply requirements.
How can manufacturers reduce packaging supply chain risk?
Packaging supply-chain risk can often be reduced by developing alternate suppliers, dual sourcing, balancing domestic and offshore manufacturing, carrying appropriate safety stock, improving forecasting, and creating continuity plans for critical packaging components.
Does Empire EMCO offer packaging warehousing and inventory programs?
Empire EMCO can support packaging supply through warehousing and inventory programs designed around production demand, forecasting, scheduled releases, lead times, safety stock, and ongoing packaging requirements.
