There are several companies around the country that have set themselves up as third-party companies which deal with bulk storage facilities. In fact, what they do is to house any kinds of loads for other companies which do not have enough space to do this for themselves. In Los Angeles, public warehouse facilities are in operation to do just this job, but they have other duties which they can perform as well. Los Angeles fulfillment facilities will actually take those goods that they are storing and break them down into more manageable lots too.

The problem with a lot of goods that are manufactured in bulk is that, very often, they are not needed as soon as they are made. The manufacturer then has the problem that he cannot keep them all on site since this will take up too much space, particularly if other components are coming in from somewhere else. The bulk order that he is finishing may not be needed for some weeks or months, but this is no excuse to leave production until later on.

Most companies will have a production schedule that they have to stick to so that the machines that they use, and the workers who operate them, are fully utilized at all times. However, finding space for large orders, or for those times of the year when more goods are needed, used to be a problem for many. However, since the introduction of third-party companies which specialize in this kind of work, life has become much easier for sure.

If the goods are coming in from somewhere else, these facilities will be able to split the load into different consignments. Many of the facilities have sister companies which produce printed cartons and boxes to re-house the smaller consignments, plus they can actually print up individual sleeves for the goods too. Designers in house will produce something for the originating company so that all the goods are branded with whatever they want to show on the box. This is why well known brands in the US, and which were thought of as US based companies, usually have something like ‘made in Taiwan’ in very small print on the sides of the new cartons.

These facilities are very much in demand for things like frozen goods and fresh produce too. A glut of one item or another means that the prices hit rock bottom, but by hanging onto the goods for a week or so, the price goes up as the season ends. This means that the broking companies can make more money which should cover the cost of the facilities too. In fact, these facilities make it possible for us to have the goods we need practically all year round since they have cooling and freezing facilities too.

Whatever these facilities are used for, the companies who use them can factor in the cost to the end price of the product. Considering that they hold huge amounts of goods at any one time, the unit cost must be very low indeed.
