Primary contract packaging refers to the outsourcing of the packaging and assembly of the primary packaging of the components of a product to a third-party contract packaging company. The primary packaging is the layer of packaging that directly contains and protects the product. It is the packaging that comes into direct contact with the product and is usually the first layer of packaging that the end consumer interacts with. Primary contract packaging services are utilized by companies that may not have the necessary facilities, equipment, or expertise to handle the packaging of their products in-house. Outsourcing primary packaging allows companies to focus on their core competencies while relying on specialized contract packagers to handle the packaging and assembly efficiently.
