Quality Assurance
High quality primary packaging is an important prerequisite of any successful brand. At KGI, all of our supply partners have been vetted through a rigorous qualification process that assures quality and delivers peace of mind to our customers. This qualification process entails sample analysis, factory visits, and review of engineering drawings, quality certificates, and more. After qualification, we conduct periodic supplier reviews and provide them with ongoing guidance and recommendations for continuous improvement based on feedback from our customers.
But don't just take our word for it! We provide complimentary samples of all packaging materials for compatibility testing and line trials. This sampling process helps to ensure that our packaging materials will meet your technical specifications and quality standards.
Warehousing & Inventory Management
We understand that warehousing bulky packaging materials like bottles and containers will consume valuable storage space at your manufacturing facility. That’s why we offer warehousing capabilities and inventory management solutions to maximize space for what you do best. With multiple warehouse locations and a willingness to stage cargo near you through a dynamic network for third-party warehouses, we ensure that you will have the packaging materials you need, when you need them.
We are an extension of your warehouse.
At any given time, our vast packaging inventory consists of hundreds of different items, ranging from our best-selling components that serve the needs of dozens of customers, to proprietary products that are committed to a single brand. Our commitment to maintaining robust inventory levels provides peace of mind to our customers and can help you meet unexpected demand or overcome unforeseen supply chain challenges. We hope you will let KGI free up space in your facility by becoming an extension of your warehouse for all of your packaging needs.

They say that first impressions are everything. Since the design and appearance of your package will typically create the first impression of your product in the eyes of consumers, the stakes are high for your brand. KGI’s team of packaging design professionals is ready for the challenge and eager to help make lasting and memorable impressions in the minds of your customers.
If you can envision it, we'll help make it a reality.
If you are seeking to develop a custom or proprietary mold for your packaging, our team will guide you through every step of the process. From engineering drawings and rapid prototyping to mold development and ultimately mass production, KGI has the experience, manufacturing partners, and technical expertise to help avoid common pitfalls, manage costs, and increase your speed to market.
We also offer decoration and labeling services for many types of packaging materials. For instance, we offer embossing and printing options on both continuous thread and tamper evident closures. For certain bottle and containers, we offer a variety of innovative finishes and textures, such as metallic and soft-touch, which provide a premium look and feel to your package. We can also label certain bottles with your own labels, or labels that we supply according to your specifications and design requirements.
