Packaging inventory management

If your business lacks storage space or is looking to reduce warehousing costs, a packaging inventory management service could benefit you.

A packaging inventory management service is when a packaging supplier stores and manages customers’ packaging stock. This involves maintaining pre-agreed minimum and maximum stock levels. Packaging is delivered in smaller quantities on a just-in-time basis.

At Suttons Performance Packaging, our extensive warehouse, stock monitoring and forecasting systems, and a fleet of delivery vehicles allow us to manage packaging inventory for all our customers.
