Product Packaging In Mexico

Product Packaging Services In Mexico

Over the past decade, many U.S. based electronics and consumer product manufacturers shifted production to Asia to benefit from low cost labor. As wages continue to rise in China, companies are taking a closer look at how to improve their bottom line, and supply chain strategies are playing a bigger role in ensuring a company’s profitability. According to a 2010 study on air shipping from China, the shipping cost from China of a 40-foot (or 12-meter) container to the United States rose to $8,000, compared with $3,000 early in the decade. While shipping costs have reduced since then, a significant savings can be realized by packaging products in Mexico vs. China.

Many of our services in Mexico are designed to help companies that import products to the United States an innovative solution to control freight costs from China. NAPS acts as your partner in Mexico to establish a product packaging operation in as little as four to six weeks. The manufacturer sends components in bulk from Asia; components go into Mexico duty-free; and the product is packaged in Mexico and returned to a warehouse in the U.S. or shipped directly to the end user. With the current trends in product packaging companies, Mexico offers many growing benefits and options to improve profitability with improved packaging costs.
