In this episode of the Econo-Pak podcast, CEO PJ Wiebel joins host and General Manager Mike Mead to discuss the benefits of using a fixed-cost pricing model in co-packing contracts.
PJ explains how this pricing approach provides stability and predictability for food companies by locking in a set price for packaging services over a 12-month period. This eliminates the unpredictability of variable costs that many manufacturers face, allowing them to better manage their budgets and focus on growth.
Tune in to learn how Econo-Pak ensures efficiency while maintaining profitability within a fixed-cost model.
