Packaging companies generally work closely with other manufacturers. They supply a wide range of products and services, but these usually focus on three main areas: product appearance, container functionality, and finished product shipping. Packaging businesses can help food and beverage makers design unique bottles. They can create branded labels for everything from cardboard boxes to thermoplastic pouches.
Some packaging suppliers also handle shipping tasks. All of these individual companies fall under the broad description of a packaging business, but it’s possible for each one to focus on a specific niche, such as glass bottles or cardboard. International Paper is one well-known supplier of packaging, and it employs approximately 55,000 people in over 20 countries.
There is always a need for product packaging. In the U.S., over 14,000 tons of plastic containers and over 39,000 tons of paper and corrugated cardboard containers are produced each year. Some experts expect the packaging market to grow from the current figure of over $200 billion worldwide to over $300 billion by 2025. This strong annual growth provides an incentive for entrepreneurs looking for packaging businesses for sale. This industry may provide significant potential for increased growth, paired with services that are almost constantly in demand.
Before you buy a packaging business, it’s important to consider what size of the company you’re comfortable operating. Some packaging companies are small design and prototyping outfits with few employees. Others are large-scale manufacturers with thousands of workers and numerous factories. Plastics production may require heavy machinery and production lines, which require a strong investment of liquid capital or financing.
This is one reason some entrepreneurs prefer purchasing existing packaging companies that already have the necessary equipment. Prior business management experience is recommended for running a packaging company, since success may mean managing many different teams of workers as well as communicating regularly with industry clients. Knowledge of the target market is also useful for understanding customer needs and packaging specifications.
