Not Sure?
“We already have a packaging supplier.”
Most plants do. In one focused hour, we usually uncover 2–3 improvements (labor, spec fit, damages) worth a short pilot. Open to a quick line walk?“Custom packaging costs more.”
Sometimes the unit price is higher—but total cost drops. Better spec + right-size + fewer touches = lower labor, fewer damages, stronger presentation.“We buy direct from manufacturers.”
You’ll still win on total cost. Our buying power plus program value—specs, sizing, automation ROI, local stocking, and service—cuts waste and carrying cost.FAQ
