Many have spoken of the economic toll of taking the role of packaging, but it hasn’t been discussed how the packages themselves don’t actually benefit you logistically. I would even argue it is worse overall to attempt to integrate these into your logistics, whether by producing or buying.
The Polymer used to create the package specifically, makes the overall process less efficient in both volume and weight compared to the raw resources for storage and transportation. You take up MORE room by packaging things, which is the exact opposite of the main benefits why things are packaged in real businesses. Anyone wanting to transport a wide variety of materials in bulk would be better off doing so by allocating all of the volume and weight to hold more items that can be sold, rather than losing some of it from having to account for the PE/packaging of the final product that will eventually become those raw resources again once they are needed.
Even if the packages were identical weight and volume in storage/transport compared to the raw materials, they still require the producer to have access to all the same materials anyway. This will most often mean those in the best position to produce these will already be close to producers for all of the relevant resources, or a commodity exchange. That means more often than not the cost in fuel for whoever they are selling to would be less than the cost providing this service would ask, especially if the packaging corporation (rightfully) takes into account the fuel cost that might be required for transporting their inputs and outputs.
Worst of all is the combined detrimental requirements to produce these packages. Unlike most bases, having an upgraded base and multiple storage buildings would be a necessity. The amount of storage space the inputs would require, regardless of which package you are producing, is greater than what a normal base can accommodate. A normal base already will struggle to hold enough consumables for larger groups of a work force to maintain itself, your base would be required to hold enough of the inputs to provide for multiple other bases each day WHILE ALSO storing the outgoing result of equally as bulky products to keep up with any real demand. The only alternative with less than 5 hours to produce each package, is treating that as the time you have to replace and refill your base storage with the required consumables to produce with again.
Neither of those options are realistic or feasible in terms of economics or logistics.
The more you dedicate infrastructure to this, the worse it becomes. Maintaining your business around packaging and nothing else would still mean it remains less efficient, less cheap, and less useful than simply getting the raw consumables directly for all parties involved and dedicating all of that space and manpower towards something tangible and profitable.
