How Can I Get Boxes Faster?

Customized boxes are a wonderful way to enhance your product with high-quality, aesthetically pleasing, unique packaging. Perhaps you already know this, but have run into a bigger problem - you waited too long to order them or underestimated how many you would need last time you ordered, and now it’s going to take too long to receive the custom packaging you need. Now you’re wondering, ‘How can I get boxes faster? I can I get boxes now?” Fortunately there are a few tricks of the trade that can help you get your boxes more quickly than you think and help you be prepared so that you are always able to get your boxes exactly when you need them.

1. The majority of the wait time between when you order your boxes and when you receive them is due to the manufacturer having to order the material your boxes will be made of. Certain materials, like freezerboard (recycled paper that is able to withstand freezing temperatures and moisture) take longer to arrive than others. If its suitable for your packaging needs, and you are willing to pay a little extra to get your boxes more quickly, virgin paper (made of all new materials) has much shorter lead times meaning you’ll get your boxes up a week faster.
2. Different manufacturers will be able to provide your boxes in different amounts of time. GoldrichPrintpak Inc. has formed solid relationships with suppliers, has flexibility not available to some larger manufacturers, and has a very customer-oriented approach to service. Going through a supplier like this gives you cost benefits of a larger company combined with the extra speed-related advantages of being a smaller business.
3. There is no need to re-order a different set of boxes every time you need them. Buying large amounts at a time will save you on cost per unit, and will also cut down the frequency with which you need to order. Even if you don’t think you have the extra storage space required to keep your extra box inventory, it is still possible to reap the benefits of buying in bulk. Companies like Goldrich also offer inventory plans, meaning you order in bulk, and they store the extra inventory at their facilities until you need it. This means you can have your required boxes as soon as the next day!
