"Converter: An organization that manufactures finished products from fabrics supplied in rolls; or provides intermediate processing steps such as slitting, dyeing and printing."

In the plastics and packaging industries, the term "converter" is frequently used to refer to businesses/companies manufacturing finished products/packagings (in other words, they further process the material they receive). In your case, the converter is a separate company to which the manufacturing of the finished packaging should be outsourced.
