EMERGENCY REPACK SERVICES/SURGE CAPACITY SUPPORT
The order came in bigger than the plan. The packaging runs here.
01 / WHAT IT IS
When demand outruns internal capacity, Korpack takes the volume the plant cannot absorb and packs it out in certified space, on Korpack's equipment, with Korpack's crews.
THE WORK INCLUDES
Korpack handles secondary packaging and pack-out of product that is already made. No product manufacturing and no filling.
02 / WHEN IT APPLIES
01
A retailer says yes and the volume commitment lands before the line is ready for it.
02
Demand spikes for eight weeks and then returns to normal, which is not a reason to buy equipment.
03
The plant makes the product but cannot build the club pack, the variety pack, or the display the retailer wants.
04
The line is full with existing SKUs and something has to give.
Adding capacity internally means equipment, floor space, and hiring, all committed against demand that may be seasonal. Overflow packaging at Korpack is a fixed cost per unit against volume that actually exists.
No capital purchase. No line build. No lease. No headcount carried through the quarter after the spike ends.
04 / WHY KORPACK
A surge run needs cases, trays, film, and labels in volumes the plant does not normally buy. Korpack is a packaging materials distributor as well as a co-packer, so the materials and the labor are quoted and scheduled together.
The work runs in USDA, SQF, FDA, and ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities across nearly 200,000 square feet in Chicagoland, with lot and expiration tracking throughout and counts and status available through the customer portal 24x7.
