Packaging
Contract Packaging Flexibility
You can specify nearly any packaging when you outsource dry or liquid ingredient processing and contract packaging to ColdStar. We can package products into or from poly bags, multi-wall bags (valve and open mouth), drums, bulk liquid containers, bag-in-box, and corrugated totes.
On the other end of the spectrum, our ability to meet your consumer packaging needs continues to grow. From pouches that are packed into pre-printed cartons to bulk pack for distribution, we can make sure your products are completely ready for the retail shelf or usage in distribution.
