A new business incubator was recently introduced to the Chicago suburb of Evanston, where Create It Packaging’s own Maggie Lawson gave a crash course on food packaging on February 10, 2014.
Here are some of the tips she gave to a group of ‘hungry’ food entrepreneurs at Now We’re Cookin’.
1. Identify your business assets.
2. Get a UPC code.
3. Identify the best UPC Code.
4. Consult regulatory guidelines of the NLEA (Nutrition Labeling and Education Act).
5. Identify the right packaging partner for your needs.
6. Get certified in food safety. Organizations like AIB and ISO can help.
