Industry-Specific Packaging Expertise

The right package depends on more than what looks good.

A package that works for a shampoo may not work for a chemical concentrate, dietary supplement, food product or pharmaceutical application.

Product chemistry, viscosity, filling temperature, barrier requirements, dispensing method, shipping conditions, closure performance, labeling, sustainability goals and production volume can all affect the packaging decision.

Empire EMCO approaches packaging as a complete system — helping manufacturers identify the bottle, jar, container, closure, dispensing component and sourcing strategy that best fits the application.

  • Stock and special-order rigid packaging
  • Custom package design and engineering
  • Closure and dispensing system selection
  • Material and compatibility considerations
  • Domestic and global sourcing
  • Warehousing and inventory programs

Does the finished package protect the product throughout storage, shipping, handling and consumer use?

4

User Experience

Can consumers conveniently open, dispense, store and reuse the product as intended?

5

Brand Presentation

Does the package support the desired shape, color, decoration, label area and shelf presence?

6

Supply Reliability

Can packaging be sourced at the quantities, lead times and continuity levels needed by your operation?

7

Source or Customize

Depending on your goals and quantities, the solution may involve existing packaging, special-order components, modifications or custom tooling.
