PACKAGING PRODUCTS
and
PACKAGING SERVICES

Packaging products and services is the crucial junction where products and services are conjoined with marketing and advertising strategies to improve branding and value perception strategies that increase sales and profits.

Unfortunately, many businesses fail to understand that a box can be more than a box, or a shipping carton being more than simply a container to ship merchandise. In doing so, they lose leverage in building brand recognition, sales and profits.

Packaging, as a business term, is a very broad umbrella that describes a multitude of different segments of product and service industries.

To better serve our family business clients, the Family Business Institute is now making available to our family business clients and visitors to our web site, the services of a packaging expert – someone who can address any and all questions visitors may have about packaging products and services for your business.

According to leading family business expert Don Schwerzler , “Not only can our packaging expert answer your questions about packaging, our packaging expert may be able to make better buys on packaging materials than what your current vendors provide. His professional relationships within the packaging industry can design specialized packaging; provide warehousing and logistic services; and manage the fulfillment programs to support the marketing and manufacturing objectives of your business.”

Schwerzler has been studying and advising family businesses since 1967 – a career span of more than 40 years. He is the founder of the Family Business Institute and the web organization Family Business Experts, both of which are based in Atlanta GA.

Packaging products and services touch every family business in one form or another. To better understand the ramifications of packaging products and services, consider the following “categories”:
