Knockout is one North American team handling primary packaging, secondary packaging, and the project management between them. Named accountability. Faster launches. The packaging operation behind brands that hit their date.
From bottle to box to shelf, we coordinate every layer of your packaging so nothing falls through the cracks.
From one-off launches to steady replenishment, we keep packaging organised and on track.
Faster to shelf, fewer revisions, and consistent quality across suppliers.
Your packaging team is overwhelmed. We handle it as yours, or direct.
For Contract ManufacturersMost brand operators think they have two options for packaging: go direct to factories for the lowest unit cost, or work with a big distributor for the convenience. Both options hide costs the brand pays later. There is a third option.
Lowest unit cost. Highest hidden cost.
Unit cost $Scale, but slow. Account-rep dependent.
Unit cost $$One partner. One PO. One named owner.
Unit cost $$Going direct is not cheaper. It is a fixed cost masquerading as a variable cost. The savings show up on a unit spreadsheet. The losses show up in headcount, missed launches, and stranded inventory.
We don't sell packaging. We sell the value around the packaging.
Hit your launch window. Capture the retail moment.
Eliminate the hidden cost of running five vendors.
One PO, one project manager, one accountable owner.
Stop being the single point of contact between your factory, your filler, and your printer.
Get back to building the brand. We will handle the packaging.
Quotes a component. Ships when paid. The relationship ends at the dock.
Resells components from someone else's factory. Adds margin. Adds nothing else.
Manages the process. Sources the components. Coordinates the timeline. Owns the outcome. Names a person you can call.
That is the difference. And it is the reason brands have fewer packaging challenges when they work with us.
Our simple, proven quide to take packaging from idea to shelf, faster and with fewer surprises.
We use this model to show the overall value of our services.
Line by line: bottle, closure, label, carton, freight, surcharge, fuel adjustment, duty, tariff. Each line is a chance to nickel-and-dime. Each line is a moment for the project to feel out of control.
One number. All in. That number includes the components, the sourcing, the project management, the QC, the coordination, the shipping, the duties, and the tariffs. It does not change unless the scope changes. That is how we make money: by being good at running the process, not by adding surprise line items.
Brands tell us this is the first time they have looked at a packaging quote and known exactly what their cost would be at the end. It is the model. And it is one of the reasons brands stop shopping around once they work with us.
If you're recommending packaging partners for your brand clients, Knockout is the packaging team they need. We work with brand consultants, packaging strategy agencies, and product development consultants who refer or work alongside us. Some stay involved throughout. Others make the introduction and step out. Either model works. The one thing we never do: go around you to your client. The relationship stays yours.
