Whether you sell storage products, food products, or cosmetics, jar packaging is crucial to your business success. There is also all kinds of jar packaging, and Kanary can help you find the perfect kind of jar packaging for your business.
We specialize in connecting clients with trustworthy suppliers that match their needs, whether it's short lead times, certain materials, or even prototyping services. Whatever you need, Kanary can help you find it!
First, Kanary will confirm your specific jar packaging needs. If you aren't sure what you need or want to hear options, our experts can help determine what kind of packaging would be best. We will also confirm if you need customization or branding services, and whether standard jars or a prototype jar would be the best fit. If you need a prototype jar, Kanary can put you in touch with patent lawyers to make sure to avoid any specific design patents on jars you need.
Once we have made sure we understand your specific needs, Kanary begins a supplier search. Our team starts with a list of 30-50 potential suppliers and narrows down the selection based on lead times, pricing, specific expertise, production capacity, and other related factors. When our team narrows the list down to 3-5 suppliers, we begin a more thorough vetting process.
Kanary's vetting process involves multiple steps, including speaking with factory managers and owners, inspecting factories in-person, and examining quality control protocols in place. Our team schedules and manages the sampling process, and we help evaluate all factors before you make a final selection of a factory you can trust.
After a final selection is made, mass production begins. Kanary supervises the entire process, remaining available to respond to factory issues as needed. As products are complete, our team ensures that they are stored safely and appropriately until your order is complete. Our team also books containers and schedules sea freight shipping on your behalf.
Kanary monitors your shipment while it's in transit, and we tell you the documents you need to prepare in order to clear customs. If there is a customs delay, our team can help you navigate issues, making sure to keep delays to a minimum, when possible.
After your order clears customs, Kanary coordinates with domestic freight partners for final delivery. If there are issues with products upon delivery, our team also serves as a liaison between you and the factory, helping to resolve any problems to your satisfaction.

If you don't believe you have the time or resources needed to properly vet factory options, then you may want to consider the help of sourcing experts, like Kanary, to handle the process on your behalf.
