Go for top packaging talent

Getting the best talent on a packaging project often means looking for skills beyond those of your own staff. Look at insourcing, outsourcing and offshoring as options. Here are three tips to choose the right option:

Insourcing: If a vendor gives you the specific skills you need, then give the vendor a desk in your facility.
Outsourcing: Make sure the vendor actually has all the talents you need. Your strategic needs may go unanswered if there is extensive subcontracting
Offshoring: Move tactical work offshore, gain by strengthening your internal strategic capacities.
