    Packaging Companies Must Be Your Packaging Department

    Packaging Companies Must Be Your Packaging Department
    Bill Madl Posted on July 09, 2019 | Updated on August 24, 2023

    Top 7 Reasons Why Your Supplier Should Be Your Packaging Department

    It’s not enough to just find a supplier. One who isn’t qualified to package, manage or distribute your product will end up costing you more time and money. More importantly, you have your business to run and your products to manage, so it's critical to have a packaging supplier manage their own products. Here are the top 7 reasons why:

    1)  A packaging company does this for a living and who better understands packaging products better, and is better qualified,  than the company that provides them.

    2)  A packaging company has personnel in-house that are trained to design and test packaging for any products that are brought their way. They have the resources.

    3)  A packaging company has equipment that can test a package based on your supply chain and specific requirements in that chain, including the strength factors needed to protect the products.

    4)  A packaging company can control their lead time and how much, or how little, and when products can be brought in to you.

    5)  A packaging company can manage inventory based on their knowledge of lead times and understanding of expediting.

    6) A packaging company should understand their customer's needs, and managing their packaging will allow them to do their job better. They become your packaging partner.

    7) Don't you and your personnel have more important job functions related to getting your products to market, like improving sales and margins, vs managing packaging?

    "Ashtonne Packaging has been our primary supplier of custom display products for several years. Their creative designers go above and beyond to quickly turn our ideas into physical samples, which helps Bendon secure a great deal of promotional sales. Once we go to production, Ashtonne always delivers high-quality and eye-catching display solutions which allow our products to stand out from the competition at retail. I can sincerely say that Ashtonne’s overall service is the best I have experienced in the 8 years I have been a buyer of corrugated products!"

    “We have been buying boxes and using Ashtonne Packaging for years now. The prices have stayed very competitive and the VMI service really works in our favor. They come once a week to do inventory and I am never out of boxes.”

    "The Ashtonne Packaging team has been instrumental in our business. The Ashtonne Packaging Team was able to work with our design team seamlessly from creating final drawings, artwork, and material selection, through production. We have continued to rely on them for other print and packaging needs."

    "We talked to plenty of packaging people, and we tried to do that early on...I think we could go to a number of different companies that could deliver on budget and on time...But it was the level of detail and the craftmanship that you get at Ashtonne Packaging that I haven’t seen before.”
    Keith Tritschler

    "Ashtonne Packaging brought in several prototypes of a four-pack carrying carton for my approval… their designs met my specifications for functionality and attractive design… and they delivered on time, with quick turn-a-round!”

    Working with Ashtonne Packaging was a dream. As a new business, we rely on business partners and vendors not just for their service, but for the experience and education they offer. Rich and the Ashtonne Packaging team were super knowledgeable, flexible, and patient. I also appreciated their willingness to work with low volumes (critical for new products) and that they have the capacity to handle so much more as we grow. They also provided some thoughts on our business outside of packaging showing that they were focused not just with their piece of the puzzle, but interested in supporting our all-around growth. And perhaps most importantly, our launch packaging was gorgeous and we get rave reviews from our customers on it!

    "We continue to look for new ways to get in front of the consumer and are leveraging off-shelf displays more than ever before to achieve this objective. John Baxter and the team at Ashtonne Packaging continue to deliver innovative display solutions that provide the flexibility and quality we need."

    “Ashtonne Packaging worked with us for many months until we had the perfect packaging for our product. They went above and beyond every step of the way, and we are very happy with the final results. I’d highly recommend them, especially for those looking for quality packaging Made in the USA.”

    “Before we installed the automation equipment from Ashtonne Packaging, we would need twenty to twenty-five employees to produce about 2,000 packages. On typical days, six workers would produce 750 units . Now just four employees can produce 800 units. It has completely exceeded our expectations.”
    Eric Wentworth
    Fin Fur Feather Outfitters
    "I want you to know that I receive amazing feedback daily, from customers and fellow business owners, on the quality and style of your packaging.

    "We can tell you that the first batch that was sent to REI sold out around Thanksgiving, good and bad problem. The distributor has sent a second batch to REI and we are waiting for the product to activate on the site again. It was cool walking into our local store and seeing the product on the shelves/peg board".
    Brad Kenemuth

    Regarding the Tasting Board Retail Kit Project, Matt Snyder said: "Whoa! Mind blown! That is incredible! I love it! Cheers!"
    Matt Snyder
    Founder
    "As a consumer-facing brand, we really value a customer's first impression of our product in-store. When we expanded into a larger retailer, we looked to Ashtonne for help designing a custom display to showcase our alcohol infusion kits. The team at Ashtonne listened to our needs and quickly came up with a creative way to show our products. Everyone we worked with at Ashtonne was flexible and offered solutions for pricing that worked within our budget. As a result of using the display stands, our product is selling faster than accounts that do not have a display case!"
