What It Is
Buy a tabletop blister packaging machine (seals clear plastic against cardboard backing, 4-10 units per minute) and offer packaging services to small makers of soap, candles, tools, or hardware who currently sell in plain bags and can't get into retail stores without hangable, scannable packaging; the client provides the product, you package it and charge per unit.
The Pitch
The presenter argues a store won't accept a loose product (can't hang it, scan it, or prevent theft), so small manufacturers with a genuinely good product often can't get shelf space without proper packaging, framing this as a recurring service since the same client returns with each new production batch.
Who It’s Best For
Someone comfortable running a packaging service business without needing to own or develop a product themselves.
The Truth (as we see it)
Blister packaging is a real, standard retail-packaging requirement, and the described gap (small makers unable to package their own goods) is a genuine, common problem. No specific revenue figures given; pricing/positioning is the presenter's general framing.
