Contract packing services provided by Chemical Solutions involve removing product from one type of package and relocating it into another packaging type.
Chemical Solutions can repack liquids and powders from any package including bulk carriers of dangerous chemical and hazardous substances, into paper or plastic bags, polypropylene bulk bags, pails, buckets, drums and IBC's in any available size.
Some reasons for clients wishing to have products repacked are:
- To aid batching for manufacturers by packaging the precise quantity to be added to a batch and therefore minimising the exposure to operators handling the chemicals to hazardous substances and dangerous goods and improving the efficiency of the customers batching process.
- Making packages as per the customers' requirements for ease of sale.
- Reducing the weight or awkwardness of handling packages for OH&S compliance.
- Compliance with local dangerous goods and hazardous substances legislation.
- Suppliers cannot source product in the format required for sale and engage Chemical Solutions to toll or contract repack the relevant materials into the required packs. Chemical Solutions has a variety of stock packages (bags, pails etc) available for dangerous goods and hazardous and non hazardous products.
- Deteriorated packaging may be replaced when chemicals are repacked so that they may safely be placed in storage. Repacking may be done in conjunction with other services such as blending, crushing, milling and sieving. Chemical Solutions can also provide storage for chemicals, dangerous goods and non hazardous substances.
- To rebrand the material into the customers' own bags.
- Packing into water soluble bags makes it easier for the client to handle dangerous goods such as poisons in the agricultural industry for herbicide and pesticides applications.
- Seasonal chemicals are often toll or contract packed eg. Swimming pool chemicals and herbicide when the short season doesn't suit manufacturers operate their own packing facilities or hold large inventories in storage especially of shelf life item and dangerous or hazardous substances.
- Many customers simply prefer to contract out their packing requirements especially of chemicals and hazardous substances to toll repackers and manufacturers, to relive them of the burden of responsibility in respect of the handling of Dangerous Goods and entrust it to more experienced toll manufacturers or contract packers.
