Contract packaging services

Kane Logistics’ custom product packaging solutions help large food and beverage manufacturers efficiently manage the constantly changing requirements for final packaging. Kane can manage discreet packaging operations, as well as integrate packaging into the wider distribution operation, to cut factory-to-shelf cycle time and reduce combined distribution, packaging and transportation costs.

 

It’s simply not efficient for large manufacturers to finalize packaging in the plant. KANE’s highly flexible packaging model quickly adapts to retailers’ changing requirements. Most of our packaging operations are co-located within the distribution warehouse to reduce supply chain time and touch points.

Why KANE for custom product packaging?

  • Experience running high-volume, high-quality packaging operations. We bring best-practice performance based on our experience building a wide range of packaging configurations.  
  • Food industry focus. Most KANE packaging customers are in the food industry. Our operations, processes and systems are FDA compliant, with lot-level traceability in the event of recalls.
  • Holistic approach. We work across functional teams, examining how package and display design impacts downstream requirements to build and transport the display.
  • Think like a manufacturer. Most 3PLs run packaging like a like a labor provider, focusing primarily on inbound and outbound volumes. KANE runs packaging more like a manufacturing process, looking at line balancing, equipment effectiveness (OEE), and the hour-by-hour performance of each line. We carefully examine key packaging metrics and feed you the data required to continuously improve the process.
  • Nimble, flexible operating model. Staff are cross-trained in multiple functions and we make strategic use of outside labor to economically manage volume fluctuations.
