What Is Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) Fulfillment? 

CPG fulfillment is a crucial component of the supply chain that focuses on the efficient and accurate delivery of consumer-packaged products to end consumers.

Omnichannel Fulfillment

Today, many CPG companies sell across many channels, in addition to ecommerce — known as omnichannel fulfillment. Hub Group can provide CPG order fulfillment through every channel including: 

• Your brand’s own website 
• Digital marketplaces, like Amazon 
• Digital storefronts, like Walmart or Target 
• Category marketplaces, like ebags.com 
• Other digital channels, including daily deal sites, flash sales, subscriptions boxes and social media 
• Non-digital channels, including catalog sales, direct response TV, mail, kiosks and more. 
• Retail storefronts 

Warehousing/Fulfillment Centers

Finding the ideal ecommerce order fulfillment center location can be difficult, especially if your 3PL does not have a nationwide network that gives you the flexibility and local consumer reach you need with two day shipping. At Hub Group, we specialize in CPG order fulfillment from 35+ fulfillment center locations nationwide. 

Custom Packaging 

Hub Group can custom package your CPG products — offering automation, hand construction and hybrid assembly for custom packaging. Shrink wrapping, strapping, labeling, and bag sealing are among the services we provide. 

Outsourced Kitting

Kitting is the process of taking any number of SKUs and combining them into one package, then creating one new SKU. Our kitting services allow you to decrease inventory space by kitting to stock or kitting on demand. 

Labeling, Packaging & Repackaging 

These services are provided for a variety of reasons. It can be as simple as replacing an incorrect label, or as detailed as repackaging an entire order to meet the requirements of a big box retailer

Product Testing 

Broken items, crushed or expired items can result in a profit loss for your business. Product testing is particularly important for our healthcare and durable medical product clients, but we can do it for anyone! In order to grow your business, it is crucial that your products reach your customers exactly as intended.

Catalog Fulfillment 

Whether you are an experienced catalog shipper with thousands of sales a day or a new seller moving into the catalog shopping space, Hub Group offers catalog ecommerce fulfillment services that you can count on. 

Flash Sales & Daily Deal Ecommerce Order Fulfillment

Many CPG companies conduct flash sales, in which a specific number of products are offered for a limited time at highly discounted prices. Another popular type of flash sale are daily deals, where a particular price on an item or items is for one day only. These kinds of special ecommerce sales require rapid scalability, comprehensive inventory planning and management, and prompt reliable shipping for ecommerce order fulfillment — all areas where Hub Group excels. 

Amazon Seller Fulfilled Prime 

Amazon Seller Fulfilled Prime is a program in which Amazon allows sellers to display the Prime Badge on products they fulfill from their own facilities or from third party logistics providers. At Hub Group, we proudly meet the stringent criteria set forth by Amazon. Our approach to fulfillment is optimal for any e-retailer looking for a third party logistics provider that will help cut the costs associated with other methods of getting the Prime badge. What’s more, our strategically placed ecommerce order fulfillment center locations allow us to hit stringent metrics for 2-day ground service to 98.6% of the population. 

Peak Season Ecommerce Fulfillment 

Peak Season for CPG order fulfillment is the period of time that leads up to the dramatic spike, or surge, in holiday retail sales. CPG manufacturers and retailers alike typically rake in disproportionately high amounts of revenue from November 15-December 24 compared to the rest of the year — especially on Black Friday when the official start of holiday gift shopping begins the day after Thanksgiving.
