Manufacturers are always looking for ways to produce their goods for less cost. They can cut the cost of their goods, take out a larger profit from the company, or invest in developing new products. No matter what their use for the increase in funds, the difficulty lies in finding ways to cut costs. Many have found their cost cutting comes in packages. Each item a manufacturer creates is generally placed into its own packaging. Older manufacturers have often done this by hand. Now, there are machines to do the work of the labor force.

Those who manufacture machines for packaging have a large market throughout the world. For nearly every item made, there must be packaging. Most packaging machines are designed specifically for a manufacturer. If the manufacturer has many products, they may need several different machines. Having a machine do custom packaging is often much faster than any other available method.
