Growth is an exciting stage for any business. New customers, larger orders, new products and expanded sales channels are all signs that things are moving in the right direction.

As that momentum builds, the systems behind the business need to be ready to support it — including packaging. What worked efficiently at 500 units may look very different at 5,000, where capacity, lead times, product protection and presentation can play a much bigger role.

At Wasatch Container, we understand that firsthand. We have grown alongside our customers, expanding our facilities, adding new technology and building new capabilities so we can continue supporting businesses as their needs become larger and more complex.

More Options as Your Brand Grows

Growth also opens new sales opportunities. A company that once shipped primarily to distributors may begin selling directly to consumers. A product may move into retail. A growing brand may want its packaging to make a stronger impression when it reaches the customer, including unboxing as part of the overall experience.

Those opportunities can require more from the package itself. That is one reason Wasatch invested in the Kolbus RD115S rotary die-cutter. The five-color machine can print on both the inside and outside of corrugated packaging in a single pass, giving customers more flexibility with graphics, messaging and presentation.

It allows us to support everything from straightforward shipping boxes to packaging that plays a much larger role in delivering that wow factor.

Supporting a Broader Product Mix

Growth can also mean adding products that do not fit neatly into one packaging category.

A consumer product may need custom corrugated packaging, while sensitive equipment may require foam protection. Larger or high-value equipment may call for a custom wood crate or protective cases.

Wasatch’s corrugated capabilities work alongside our Protective Packaging Division, where we provide custom foam solutions, cases and wood crates. That breadth becomes especially valuable for businesses whose products, markets or shipping requirements are becoming more diverse.

Instead of approaching every new packaging challenge from the same angle, we can help determine the solution that makes sense for the product.

Packaging That Is Ready for What Comes Next

When you are planning a new product, larger production run or expansion into another sales channel, packaging should be part of that conversation early.

What volume will you need? Will the packaging need to perform differently? Does a new product require additional protection? Will retail or direct-to-consumer sales change how the package needs to look or function?

Wasatch has spent years building the capacity, technology and expertise to help answer those questions.

Why Wasatch Is a Good Fit for Growing Businesses

At Wasatch Container, we understand rapid growth because we have experienced it ourselves.

As customer demand increased, we made significant investments in our operation to stay ahead of it. In 2022, we expanded our corrugated facility from approximately 35,000 to 120,000 square feet, creating room for new production machinery, additional warehousing capacity and increased output.

For customers, that means working with a local Utah packaging partner that understands firsthand what it takes to scale and is equipped to support the next stage of growth.

If your business is entering its next stage of growth, Wasatch Container is ready to grow with you.
