Nearshore Packaging supplies USMCA-certified labels, flexible packaging, and folding cartons to U.S. CMOs in pharma, nutraceutical, natural products, and specialty food — PFAS-free documented, delivered DDP, with zero customs handling on your end.
If you're a CMO sourcing packaging from Mexico, all three are already live — and most haven't mapped their exposure.
HDPE bottles, foil pouches, glass vials, blister materials, labels. Your landed cost went up without anyone telling you.
All SegmentsWhole Foods, Costco, Target, and Amazon supplier requirements are moving faster than FDA timelines. One audit away from a supply disruption.
Food · Natural · NutraYour supplier being "in Mexico" is not enough. You need written certification per SKU. Most CMOs find this out at the border.
All SegmentsThe supply chain solution is the same across all four. The entry point is different for each.
FDA-regulated secondary packaging — folding cartons, blister materials, braille, cold-chain components. USMCA compliance per SKU is your margin protection.
HDPE bottle labels, foil pouches, stand-up pouches, supplement jars. You manage COAs per batch — apply that same discipline to your packaging supply chain.

Before Nearshore Packaging, I spent two decades running international sourcing and supply chain operations — negotiating cross-border contracts, qualifying suppliers, and protecting margins under cost pressure. The same discipline now applies to your packaging supply chain.
20 minutes. No pitch. Just a clear picture of where your packaging supply chain is exposed — and what it takes to fix it. The T-MEC review is now in annual rolling reviews through 2036: the scrutiny doesn't end, it intensifies.
