What packaging producers and distributors deal with
Customer‑specific variants
Prints, formats and materials multiply the number of items, while customers expect short delivery times.
Plants out of sync
Production steps spread across plants wait for each other.
Bulky stock
Rolls and finished packaging take a lot of space, so every extra week of stock costs warehouse capacity.
System projects that stall
WMS or ERP projects stop when requirements and vendor responsibilities are unclear.
