In this episode of the Econo-Pak Podcast, Director of Procurement Tim joins Sarah to talk through how procurement supports scalable, efficient co-packing solutions.
In this conversation, Jared Ellsworth, Maintenance Manager at Econo-Pak, shares how our facility stays ahead by using versatile machinery, smart automation, and efficient changeovers to support high-volume food brands.
Econo-Pak recently invested in new bagging and cartoning machines—designed to streamline the packaging process for dry food products like rice, baking mixes, powders, and more in a bag-in-box format.
Supply chains have become increasingly complex. Food brands must stay ahead of shifting regulations, evolving import strategies, and airline-specific requirements. With Econo-Pak, they can.
Consider this: the global contract packaging market is projected to reach $102 billion by 2028, growing at a 7% CAGR, as more companies lean on experts to streamline operations and reduce costs.
For food brands selected to supply airline snack programs, partnering with a co-packer that meets airline standards is critical. That’s why Econo-Pak is regularly audited and approved by all major U.S. airlines.
Choosing the right packaging equipment can make or break a food brand’s success. At Econo-Pak, we offer both universal and dedicated equipment, giving brands the flexibility to test different formats before scaling up.
Co-packing plays a pivotal role in the food industry, especially for brands focused on organic and non-GMO products. According to the Organic Trade Association, sales of organic food in the U.S. grew by 12.4% in 2020, reaching a record $62 billion, while demand for non-GMO products continues to rise as consumers prioritize transparency and health (Organic Trade Association, 2021).
In this episode of the Econo-Pak Contract Food Packaging Podcast, Sarah Richter sits down with Project Manager Johnny Montana and GM Mike Mead to discuss the importance of SOP3.
Private label food packaging allows companies to differentiate their products on store shelves without the overhead of in-house production.
