About

To serve the needs of member companies through continuing education, market knowledge and customer relationships.
The Contract Packaging Association is the national, nonprofit trade organization for the Contract Packaging industry. Formed in 1992 for contract packaging firms and those businesses related to them, CPA promotes the growth and welfare of member firms through its industry exposure and programs.

CPA members are comprised of the nation’s leading contract packagers, which perform all packaging functions; from the simplest to the most complex and from the glamorous to the hazardous. Our members offer these packaging services to an extremely wide variety of consumer goods companies and these services range from manual and semi-automatic to full-speed, high performance packaging lines.
CPA’s objectives include:

  • Programs to establish strong ethical standards among contract packagers and their clients
  • Increase knowledge and expertise within the contract packaging industry
  • Improve the business reputation of firms and the professional image of individuals within the industry
  • Encourage the effective use of contract packaging services.
The RFQ Tool:  The Contract Packaging Association created their RFQ Tool (Request For Quote) tool in the early 1990’s to help consumer product companies get introduced to its membership with new manufacturing projects.

The RFQ Tool since has grown to be an industry standard leading to its newest evolution being the primary focus for the new Co-Packing Network (www.Co-Packing.net).   The Co-Packing Network is the new consumer product incubation program created by CPA and Conzumables to help start-up and emerging brands with their contract manufacturing needs.
