How to Choose a Chemical Packaging Company

Companies that work with vast quantities of chemicals can reduce their costs and reallocate their labor and physical resources by hiring a chemical packaging company. However, due to the dangers associated with many types of chemicals, choosing a low-quality chemical packaging company can have disastrous costs. Companies seeking to outsource some or all of their chemical operations need to vet potential business partners to ensure that their needs and the needs of the company’s clients are being met or exceeded. OctoChem is a top-tier third-party logistics company that offers a variety of chemical packaging services – including kit assembly – in addition to traditional 3PL services.

Does the Chemical Packaging Company Have a Verifiable, Auditable Process?

Chemical packaging companies that offer mixing and chemical sample creation services should be able to demonstrate their safety, efficiency, and competency. Even new chemical specialty packing companies will be required to prove strict adherence to applicable laws and regulations. Asking about a company’s training procedures and any associated certifications can reveal much about the company’s professionalism and core values. Learning how the chemical packaging company stores and handles their clients’ inventory is crucial to further understand the chemical packaging company’s operating procedures and core principles.

Does the Chemical Packaging Company Focus on High-Quality Results and Service?

Chemical specialty packing companies operate directly with both their clients and their clients’ customer base. It is crucial that chemical packaging companies have the skills and desire to deliver top-tier customer service to both parties though a combination of peerless service and solid interpersonal skills. Saving time is of little benefit if the end product is damaged or shoddy, and even a high-quality product delivered cheaply and swiftly is of no use if the customer is offended by an abrasive delivery worker.

Does the Chemical Packaging Company Have Industry Experience?

The sheer number of chemicals – along with their associated properties, hazards, and regulations – can be difficult for most companies to effectively track. A chemical specialty packing company that is familiar with a specific industry and the chemicals commonly associated with it can be a boon to the client. Knowledgeable chemical packaging companies can advise their clients on ways to increase safety while reducing costs and legal repercussions. Chemical packaging companies with specializations will also have facilities and staff that are better equipped to safely receive, store, process, and ship chemicals associated with the industry. And chemical packaging companies that have previous experience with their clients’ customer base can assist greatly with customer-facing operations such as kit assembly and specialty packing services.
