This is referred to as multi-packing. When you are short on space, labor, or capital, you still have options. Consider [freeing up the space](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/never-enough-floorspace) in your plant by outsourcing this to a 3PL provider.  Utilizing a co-packer, in other words, using a third party logistics provider, you can save on overhead with using less internal resources by relying on them to unitize, maintain inventory, and even distribute your products to the end-user or distributor on your behalf.    This will increase manufacturing capacity for your core products resulting in higher operating margins for your business. ### Key Takeaways - Grow your top line - Reduce your labor force - No need for facility expansion   Our team is best-in-class when it comes to safety and producing best-in-class finished goods from packaging to shipment to shelf, or end-user.
