Bundling in contract packaging refers to the process of grouping individual products together into a single package using some form of secondary packaging. The goal of bundling is to create a more efficient and cost-effective way to package and distribute products, typically for retail sale.

There are different types of bundling, including registered bundling, shrink bundling, and tape bundling. Registered bundling involves using printed film to wrap and group multiple products together. Shrink bundling involves using heat to shrink a plastic film around a group of products. Tape bundling involves using adhesive tape to hold products together.

Bundling can be used for a variety of products, including food items, consumer goods, and industrial products. It can also be used for promotional purposes, such as creating gift sets or bundling related products together.

In terms of sustainability, bundling can be a more eco-friendly option than using individual packaging for each product. By reducing the amount of packaging used, it can also reduce material costs and shipping costs. Additionally, some types of bundling materials, such as paper and certain types of plastics, can be recycled.

The cost of bundling in contract packaging will depend on various factors, including the type of bundling used, the quantity of products being bundled, and the complexity of the assembly process. It’s important to work with a reliable and experienced contract packaging company that can provide a quote based on your specific requirements.
