Hello Startupnation!

I am Christopher Davis, better known as Tater! I am a junior at Arizona State University, and am in the process of starting a business. 

Though I can't explain the product itself or its end user, I can say that it will contain various non-perishable snack items. The end user is nationwide, and the turnover is high. Capital is not an issue. 

I need to find a company that has the ability to repackage products, label the new package, and ship nationwide DIRECTLY to the end user. 

The packaging wanted is a simple plastic "flat" bag. 

If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

If all you are looking for is a simple way to put your brand, logo, or whatever on a plastic bag - Try contacting local screen printers in your area - College towns are full of them.  They can create your package for you, and they will also have catalogs full of products to choose from.

 

As far as a doing the printing, packing, sending all from one provider - I have never come across a company that will do all that.  You may have to split the work between the manufacturing, packing, and distribution (shipping company).

 

If you do have any luck finding a company that will do it all - share the knowledge, that could be useful to me as well.

Lastly - just an FYI, The vagueness of your post makes it seem like you're trying to distribute drugs.

Hi Chris,

If the project is as simple as you describe I would just do it all in-house/local.

-hire a freelancer to design the label

-hire a local printer or buy a printer and print labels

-put in plastic bag and ship to customers

By doing it all yourself you will have much more control of your product/profit as well

You may want to check out a dropshipper like Doba if you grow really big.

 

There must be something more to this story I am missing though.  If you can expand a little on what are the bottle necks to getting your project out to market I am sure someone here can help yo uin a greater capacity.

 

All the best!
