Read on to learn more about the benefits of toll processing. Specifically, we’ll discuss why household name companies including Clorox, Ford, DuPont, Firestone, and others have turned to CTI over the years.

What Is A Toll Processing Company?

Toll processing is the process by which a company outsources some of its manufacturing needs to a material processing company, such as CTI. The hiring company provides the raw materials needed, and CTI performs the necessary service, using those materials.

In other words, if ABC Corporation hires CTI for lamination services of their products, CTI becomes the processing company. The fee paid to CTI from ABC Corporation for this service is the “toll”.

What Are The Benefits of Toll Processing?

There are many benefits to partnering with a toll manufacturer. Here is a detailed look at 10 reasons companies choose to outsource some of their production needs.

1. Fast Processing

Toll processing companies offer large facilities, state-of-the-art equipment, and expert staff. This, of course, helps expedite production times for the hiring company. When you choose to have an outside company known for their lamination expertise take control of your product lamination, you speed up your production.

2. High-Quality Materials

Companies that specialize in certain manufacturing services are bona fide experts in that process. So, you can count on receiving consistently high quality from an established toll processor. Since your company provides the raw material (unlike in a contract manufacturing partnership), you can be certain that only the high-quality materials you select are used in processing.

3. Expedited Customer Delivery

When you speed up production times, you also expedite the final product delivery of finished goods to your customers. Consequently, when time is of the essence, and your customers need their product, outsourcing to a toll processing company is an advantage.

4. Cost Savings on Equipment

You won’t need to buy expensive equipment if you partner with a toll processor. We have the manufacturing equipment necessary to fulfill the needs of clients in industries such as:

  • Aeronautic
  • Automotive

  • Insurance
  • Medical
  • Office Furniture
  • Packaging

  • Textiles
  • Vinyl and Paper Laminates
5. Company Savings Passed on to Customer

Because of the significant savings, you can realize by partnering with a toll manufacturer, you can pass those savings on to your customer. Consequently, this can help give you a competitive advantage in the market.

6. Production Flexibility

Hiring an outside company for processing gives you enormous flexibility. This is because you can decide to switch from in-house to a company offering toll processing service at any time during the production cycle.

7. Customized Formatting and Packaging

When it comes to customization, you can’t go wrong with a toll manufacturing company like CTI. CTI is respected for providing endless possibilities when it comes to formatting and packaging.
