Lock in pricing and availability with a recurring supply contract. We guarantee inventory at agreed-upon prices with scheduled deliveries, protecting you from market fluctuations and supply shortages.

Complete packaging waste management for your facility. We handle collection, sorting, reuse diversion, and recycling — turning your waste stream into a revenue stream or cost-neutral operation.

Our experts analyze your packaging needs and recommend cost-effective, sustainable solutions tailored to your operations. From right-sizing boxes to optimizing packing methods, we find savings you didn't know existed.
Custom Box Sourcing
Need a specific size or type? We source or manufacture custom boxes from recycled materials to your exact specifications. Print-ready options available for branded packaging needs.
Reverse Logistics
Set up return programs for your packaging. We manage the collection and processing of used boxes from your customers or facilities, creating a circular packaging system that reduces waste and costs.

Inventory Management
We manage your packaging inventory so you don't have to. Our team tracks stock levels, forecasts demand, and automatically replenishes supplies before you run low.
Vendor Managed Inventory
Take inventory management a step further with our VMI program. We maintain consignment stock at your facility, own the inventory until you use it, and handle all replenishment automatically.
Seasonal Surge Support
Ramp up packaging supply for peak seasons without long-term commitments. Our seasonal programs provide guaranteed inventory and flexible delivery schedules during your busiest periods.
Multi-Location Programs

Case Studies
Real results from real clients. Here's how our custom solutions have transformed packaging operations across industries.
Manufacturing Plant Saves $50K/Year
Automotive ManufacturingChallenge
A mid-size automotive parts manufacturer was spending over $120,000 annually on new gaylord boxes and corrugated containers. Their used boxes were being sent to landfill at additional cost, creating both a financial and environmental burden.
Solution
We implemented a complete packaging lifecycle program: supplying Grade A used gaylords at 45% less than new, setting up a buy-back program for their used containers, and establishing a recycling program for end-of-life materials.
Result
Annual packaging costs reduced by $50,000. Zero landfill waste from packaging. Full sustainability documentation for their ISO 14001 certification. The program paid for itself in the first quarter.
E-Commerce Company Cuts Waste 80%
Online RetailChallenge
A fast-growing e-commerce company was over-packaging products in oversized new boxes, leading to excessive material waste, high shipping costs, and negative customer feedback about sustainability.
Solution
Our consulting team analyzed their product dimensions and shipping patterns, then designed a right-sizing program using used boxes in 12 optimized sizes. We set up a weekly supply agreement and reverse logistics program for returned packaging.
Result
80% reduction in packaging waste. 30% reduction in shipping costs due to right-sizing. Customer satisfaction scores improved. The company now promotes their sustainable packaging as a competitive advantage.
Food Distributor Achieves Zero Waste
Food DistributionChallenge
A regional food distributor generated over 200 tons of used packaging annually. Their waste hauling costs were climbing, their dumpsters were constantly overflowing, and they had no visibility into their environmental impact.
Solution
We deployed on-site baling equipment, established daily pickup service, created a reuse program for intact containers, and set up certified recycling for all remaining materials. Monthly reporting provided full visibility into volumes and environmental metrics.
Result
Complete zero-waste certification achieved. Waste hauling costs eliminated entirely. Revenue generated from saleable used containers offset recycling program costs. The distributor now uses our environmental data in their annual sustainability report.
