About Repacking
Markets change, retailers update their requirements, and products move between channels — repacking makes it all possible without going back to the manufacturer. Whether you're breaking bulk imports into retail-ready units, updating packaging for a new promotional campaign, or reformatting products for export to a different country, repacking keeps your supply chain agile.
CleverPak has been delivering repacking services since 1990 for brands across food and beverage, healthcare, cosmetics, and consumer goods. Our facilities handle everything from simple carton swaps and overwrap changes to complex multi-step repacking involving relabeling, re-dating, insert replacement, and compliance modifications — all managed through our AI-powered CleverPak Connect platform.
Our network of 100+ facilities means repacking projects can start quickly and scale to meet demand. Need to reformat 50,000 units for a new retailer? We can mobilize multiple sites simultaneously. Need an ongoing program to convert bulk imports into local retail formats? We'll set up a continuous workflow with quality controls built in at every step.

Common questions about repacking.
What is product repacking and when is it needed?
Repacking involves transferring products from one packaging format to another — such as breaking bulk into retail packs, changing outer cartons for a different retailer, or updating packaging for a new market. It's commonly needed for channel transitions, seasonal campaigns, compliance changes, and export preparation.
Can you repack food and beverage products?
Yes. Our facilities handle food-grade repacking including dry goods, confectionery, beverages, and health supplements. We follow food safety protocols and maintain traceability for batch codes, expiry dates, and allergen information throughout the repacking process.
How quickly can a repacking project start?
Simple repacking projects can begin within 48 hours of receiving materials and specifications. Complex multi-step repacking with relabeling and compliance changes typically requires 3–5 days of setup before production starts.
What's the difference between repacking and repackaging?
Repacking typically refers to changing the outer packaging format — moving products between carton types, pack sizes, or retail configurations. Repackaging usually implies replacing or refreshing the primary packaging itself. CleverPak handles both through our packing and returns & rework services.
Can you handle export repacking with compliance labeling?
Yes. Export repacking is one of our most common requests. We combine format changes with country-specific compliance labeling, language translations, and regulatory markings to ensure products meet destination market requirements.
