What is contract filling

Contract Filling services like those offered by https://www.wyepak.co.uk is a way in which businesses can have their dry or liquid products measured and packed into their containers. After this they can be quality checked, labelled and packaged ready for shipment. There are many reasons that a company might look to outsource this work, including lack of equipment and skills to carry out the work in-house.

There are a number of products that are suited to contract filling and these include:

Liquid products – liquids that are free flowing such as creams, lotions and gels can be poured into a variety of containers such as jars and bottles. These can themselves be of varying sizes and shapes and have a number of different closings such as bottle tops and pump action lids.

Powder products – these include dry products such as tea, coffee and spices. Typically these products are stored in jars and containers that will then allow for them to be poured out as needed. In some cases these products may also be packaged in bags and sachets.

Capsules – this involves powders (usually those related to pharmaceuticals or health and wellbeing products) being poured into capsules that are either made from gelatin or a vegetarian alternative. When working with these types of products further health and safety measures will need to be put in place to prevent contamination of both the product and the surrounding working environment.
