Packaging

Quick Summary: At ELIS Manufacturing & Packaging Solutions, we excel as a contract manufacturing and packaging company, catering to both start-ups and established businesses. Our diverse packaging services include bottle filling, flexible packaging, sachet filling, and stand-up pouches, specifically designed for industries such as cosmetics, food, nutritional supplements, and pet products. We focus on creating efficient, cost-effective packaging solutions while ensuring top-notch quality and timely delivery through rigorous testing and quality controls. Additionally, we offer comprehensive supply chain logistics support, including inventory management and custom boxing, striving to exceed client expectations by guiding them from initial packaging concept through to the final product.

As an important final step between production and the consumer, many manufacturers outsource their product packaging, either partially or completely. Contract packaging comes with many benefits, such as avoiding the in-house purchase, operation, and maintenance of packing equipment. Outsourcing packaging allows manufacturers to reliably fulfill orders with the help of another company’s core competency.

ELIS Manufacturing & Packaging Solutions is an experienced contract manufacturing and packaging company committed to white glove service, quality products and timely delivery to help grow your brand and business. We offer a wide range of services for our customer base of smaller start-ups and large established companies. ELIS can design efficient, cost-effective contract packaging to meet a myriad of needs.

Contract Packaging Services

ELIS Packaging Solutions offers various packaging options for our clients.

  • Bottle filling services. We offer blow- and injection-molded filling services for both liquids and powders in a range of bottle sizes and shapes. We accommodate small to medium production runs using in-line and high-speed rotary filling processes, with capabilities in capping, labeling, and in-line bottle sorting.
  • Bottle printing services. Bottle screen, or silk screen, printing allows for custom printing directly onto glass or plastic bottles rather than onto paper labels for a sleek, professional product. Our team can offer design assistance for this durable, textured labeling option to meet your custom packaging needs.
  • Design and display options. We work with you to design a complete packaging experience that includes display options as well as graphic and foil design. We also offer both embossed and heat-stamped lot codes.
  • Filling options. ELIS offers a wide variety of filling options for our clients. We can work with powders (both free flow and non-free flow), granules, capsules, soaps, seeds, CBD products, lotions, gels, gel caps, and many other product types.
  • Flexible packaging. Flexible packaging conforms to the shape of its contents. Unlike rigid packaging, this method offers advantages such as lower costs and material needs. Our flexible packaging is available in a plethora of materials, finishes, and designs for both solid and liquid products. 
  • Liquid filling. With applications in consumable products, cleaners, lotions, and more, our automated process can efficiently package liquid products of any viscosity, volume, or composition for safe transportation and storage. With adjustable nozzle heights to accommodate varying container types and a variety of speed settings on our equipment, we can give manufacturers consistent volumes and weights per container due to lower risks of spillage or contamination.
  • Powder packaging. Powdered products are increasing in popularity on a global scale. To meet customer needs, ELIS offers a selection of flexible packaging options for powders including sachets, pouches, packets, stick packs, and more.
  • Sachet filling. For liquids and powders, sachet filling through vertical or horizontal form fill and seal machines is a cost-effective method for durable, lightweight packaging of sample-size packs, single-use sachets, liquid bottles, tinctures, resealable stand-up pouches and stick packs. We also have printing capabilities for sachets to aid in customer branding.
  • Sample-size packaging. Packaging in sample sizes is beneficial for consumers wishing to try a new product but not purchase a great quantity. To address this, we provide turnkey cosmetic and personal care sampling solutions with high-quality, attractive packaging options. 
  • Side seal pouch packaging. Typically for single-use applications, we manufacture various styles of 3- and 4-side seal pouches that work well with form fill and seal machinery in high-speed production runs. However, we can also add a pre-applied resealable zipper for multiple uses.
  • Single-use sachets for hand sanitizer. Carrying sanitizer has become commonplace, leaving manufacturers searching for travel-friendly packaging options. We specialize in single-use sanitizer sachets that are convenient to carry in a pocket, purse, or glovebox.
  • Standup pouches and bags. Standup pouches and bags are ideal for shelf storage, transport, and display. They are attractive to customers because they replace heavy, bulky tins, cans, and boxes. One of the most versatile packaging forms, they can hold a variety of products, from household chemicals to pet food.
  • Stick packs. These flexible pouches are rectangular in shape and can be produced in various customer specific sizes. Stick packs are ideal for travel products, pharmaceuticals, powdered drinks, or single-serve portions of food products and other goods.

Industry-Specific Contract Manufacturing & Packaging Services

We offer industry-specific manufacturing & packaging solutions for sectors such as:

  • Cosmetics and skincare. With various applications in lotions, gels, shampoos, soaps, and more, we offer a number of options, including sample sizes, for manufacturers of cosmetic and skincare products. 
  • Food packaging samples. We offer a variety of specialized packaging services necessary to package consumable products, including the use of plastics and films for flexible packaging. Our packaging can protect against light, odors, and moisture.
  • Nutritional supplement packaging. Nutritional supplement or nutraceutical packaging is necessary for healthcare goods. Since these products are intended for ingestion or skin application, ELIS meets specific requirements to package them safely and efficiently using such methods as flexible packaging in pouches or foil blisters.
  • Pet food packaging. Another growing market is pet food. ELIS has many design, style, and color options available for manufacturers to appeal to customers and maintain nutrients and freshness in the product.
