UK contract packing and co-packing

Contract packing that turns components into finished stock.

Contract packing—also called co-packing—is the outsourcing of packing work to a specialist production partner. Stockholm can combine kitting, assembly, cartoning, case packing, collation and dispatch preparation in one defined brief, helping brands add capacity without setting up a separate packing operation.

Direct answers for your project

Questions customers ask.

These are planning answers, not blanket production promises. The real product and pack determine the final route.

What is the difference between contract packing and co-packing?

The terms are commonly used for the same outsourced service. Both describe a specialist partner completing packing, assembly or finishing work for another business.

Can Stockholm assemble kits or multipacks?

Potentially, yes. Share the component list, finished-pack layout, quantity, presentation standard and any inserts, labels or codes so the work can be assessed.

Can contract packing help with peak demand?

It can be used for a one-off requirement, launch, seasonal campaign or additional capacity. Availability, setup and scheduling depend on the full brief.

Can finished goods be prepared for dispatch?

Pallet or parcel preparation can be discussed as part of the job, together with collection, storage or onward-fulfilment requirements.
