FAQs

for Distribution

What is a stocking distributor?

We stock many of the items we sell and have short lead times on items we don’t. This allows us to deliver in a timely manner with great flexibility when needed. We work with custom products often and also offer customers VMI and consignment programs to manage inventory.
Will working with a distributor cost me more?

No – in fact working with a distributor often saves end users money with our ability to buy in bulk and pass along savings to customers. Plus, because we work along side manufacturers we can negotiate better pricing and lead times which are directly passed along to our customers.
What are three benefits to working with distribution?

Our full-time job is to bring our customers good solutions
at fair pricing. We are also in tune with new innovations, supply chain disruptions,
and have greater visibility into price changes. Lastly, we are your problem
solvers and fixers when things just do not go according to plan within your packaging/packaging
equipment responsibilities so you can get on with your day. In a nutshell – your
salesperson is an extension of your team with a whole team behind them
supporting your business.
