VMI Benefits:

Just-In-Time Product Delivery - Manufacturing lead times on most bulk packaging items are 4-16 weeks. Distributor warehouse facilities serve as local fulfillment points to provide just-in-time delivery. Vendor managed inventory programs allow customers to receive their packaging when they need it and at the right level.
Supply Chain Certainty – Unpredictable manufacturing lead times are eliminated when product is on the warehouse floor, available for immediate delivery. VMI programs all suppliers to dynamically adjust inventories in response to customer demands.
Low Unit Costs – Manufacturers produce in significant volumes with high minimum order quantities. Often customers do not require large quantities of high-quality packaging. Packaging distributors aggregate the smaller volume requirements of these accounts to meet the high production hurdles set by large manufacturers.
Cash Flow Management – VMI programs are effectively vendor financed inventory. Invoicing is held until the product delivers to the customer’s door. This provides for smoothing of expenditures throughout the year.
