In today's dynamic business landscape, packaging plays a pivotal role not only in protecting products but also in brand identity and customer experience. The Packaging industry, however, has been marred by archaic practices that hinder business growth and profitability. This paper delves into the challenges faced by businesses in the packaging journey and presents OTP as a game-changing solution.
2.1. Finding a Top-Notch Packaging Design Company
The process of finding the ideal packaging design company is often fraught with challenges. It requires a substantial investment of time and money, as well as complex decision-making. According to real-world statistics, businesses invest between ?40,000 to ?50,000, 7 to 12 days of their valuable time, and endure a design duration of 15 to 30 days in this pursuit.
The complexity of this task is moderate, but the costs and time investment are significant. This is merely the first step in the packaging journey.
2.2. Searching for Local Vendors to Create Samples
Once a packaging design is selected, businesses then embark on the journey of finding local vendors to create samples. This step is characterized by its time-consuming nature and the challenges it presents. Real-world data reveals that businesses spend 15 to 20 days in this phase, with sample production taking an additional 7 days.
The difficulty level is quite challenging, and the cost of obtaining samples can range from ?2000 to ?5000 per sample. The limitation here is that vendors typically offer only 2-3 samples, putting pressure on businesses to commit to a substantial final order.
The total time and money invested in this phase can be staggering, ranging from 44 to 69 days and ?70,000 to ?90,000. This significant investment can become futile if the chosen packaging design does not meet expectations or if a competitor's design outshines it.
2.3. Finding a Vendor for Final Production
Following the approval of a packaging design and sample, businesses must then seek a vendor for the final production. This involves an additional time and effort investment. Real-world statistics indicate that it takes 10 to 15 days to find a local vendor and 20 to 25 days to produce the final product.
To secure the best rates for packaging, businesses often need to travel extensively, adding to the overall complexity of the process.
2.4. The Overlooked Aspects of Packaging
Amidst these challenges, several critical aspects of packaging are often overlooked:
2.4.1. Competitor Packaging Benchmarking
Many businesses neglect competitor packaging benchmarking, missing out on valuable insights that can inform their own packaging strategies. This oversight can result in packaging that fails to stand out in the market.
2.4.2. Design Refinement and Customization
Tight margins in the industry leave vendors with limited room for creativity and design refinement. Businesses may find themselves compromising on the quality and uniqueness of their packaging due to time constraints.
2.4.3. Product Dimension Measurement
The measurement of product dimensions by a professional packaging technologist is a critical step that is often ignored. Neglecting this aspect can lead to issues related to product integrity during packaging and shipping.
In the midst of these challenges, OTP (One Touch Packaging) emerges as a transformative solution. Conceived by the author, OTP offers a subscription-based model that revolutionizes the packaging journey for businesses. This section delves into the key features and benefits of OTP:
