1. Product quality and stability of flexible packaging factories
Material quality: Whether the raw materials used by suppliers meet international standards, whether they are environmentally friendly, whether they have good durability, oxygen permeability, and barrier properties. Whether they can provide sufficient protection for the built-in items.
Production process: Whether the production process is advanced, whether it can ensure the stability of product quality, and whether there are potential quality problems.
Testing and certification: Whether the supplier’s products have passed relevant quality certifications, such as ISO, FDA, BRCS, GRS, etc.
Defective rate: Whether the supplier’s product defective rate is within a controllable range. Every factory will have defective products. Printing machines, composite machines, and bag-making machines will definitely have defective products in batches of flexible packaging. However, the ability of a flexible packaging factory to control the probability of defective products is the strength of a factory.
2. Production capacity and delivery time of flexible packaging factories
Production capacity: Whether the supplier has sufficient production capacity to meet the needs of large-volume orders. Plastic flexible packaging is a disposable product. When brands or distributors customize flexible packaging, the demand is generally large. If the production capacity cannot keep up, it is likely to affect product quality and delivery time.
Production line automation level: Highly automated production lines can improve production efficiency and ensure delivery time.
Prazo de entrega: Whether the supplier can deliver on time and whether it has the ability to respond to urgent orders. Traders often cannot control the delivery time as much as factories, and the delivery time often affects the peak season sales of terminal merchants or the sales plan of merchants.
3. Cost control of flexible packaging factories
Production cost: Whether the supplier’s production cost is competitive and whether it can provide competitive quotations. The labor cost, raw material procurement cost, factory address, factory rent, etc. of the flexible packaging factory will affect the product cost.
Cost control ability: Whether the supplier has a complete cost control system and whether it can reduce costs while ensuring quality.
When choosing a flexible packaging supplier, not only the quality and price of the product are valued, but also the comprehensive strength of the supplier, including production capacity, design ability, supply chain management ability, social responsibility, etc.
