Packaging isn’t just a finishing touch—it’s a critical part of product performance, safety, and consumer experience. At Custom Pak Illinois (CPI), we’ve seen how poor packaging decisions can cause everything from product loss to brand damage. That’s why our contract packaging services are engineered not just for appearance, but for function, precision, and dependability.
Here are five common packaging problems we help clients solve—and how our co packing solutions make all the difference.
1. Leaking Containers
The problem: Leaks during shipping or storage lead to wasted product, unhappy customers, and safety risks. It’s especially common in poorly filled or improperly sealed tubes, bottles, or pouches.
Our solution: With tightly controlled tube filling services, bottle filling services, and pouch filling service operations, we use calibrated, pressure-sensitive sealing systems to prevent leaks before they happen. From tamper-evident pipette tips to reinforced pouch seams, we ensure every seal holds up—even under pressure.
2. Inconsistent Fill Levels
The problem: Uneven fill volumes create consumer trust issues, regulatory risks, and a low-quality perception of your brand. It also disrupts batch integrity.
Our solution: We use automated, high-precision contract filling services that guarantee consistent fill volumes across every unit. Whether you’re running high-viscosity gels or low-viscosity cleaners, our lines are tuned for accuracy. Consistency is one of the reasons clients consider us among the top contract packaging services companies.
3. Poor Seal Integrity
The problem: Weak seals on tubes, bottles, or pouches can result in leaks, spoilage, or contamination—especially for chemicals, flammable products, or moisture-sensitive formulations.
Our solution: Our contract packaging services prioritize seal integrity through heat sealing, ultrasonic sealing, and tamper-evident features. For high-risk formulations, we use material-matching techniques that ensure compatibility between the packaging and the product—reducing chemical breakdown and seal failure.
4. Dosing Inaccuracy
The problem: Customers overuse or underuse the product due to unclear or inefficient dispensing, leading to poor results, higher usage costs, and waste.
Our solution: Our proprietary pipette designs offer precise, controlled dosing—typically up to 2 cc. With custom pipettes built for repeatable use, we help industries like pet care, cosmetics, and industrial adhesives deliver accurate amounts every time. We also offer friction caps, color options, and branded decoration for added usability and shelf presence.
5. Packaging That Doesn’t Fit the Product
The problem: Some packaging choices are simply a bad match—wrong material, wrong seal, or wrong delivery mechanism—which leads to damage, mess, or customer frustration.
Our solution: We work with clients at the formulation level to ensure packaging and product compatibility. Our turnkey packaging programs integrate everything—from product design to material selection to labeling—so every part of your packaging works together. Whether you need contract sachet filling, contract pouch filling, or multi-format runs, we tailor our co packing services around your needs—not the other way around.
