Warehousing programs
The Machinery that is used to produce corrugated and chipboard packaging is expensive. Part of the cost of a box is
the cost of the time that it takes to set up a machine. Moreover there are discounts that can be obtained when larger
quantities of paper and corrugated board are procured. It is due to these factors that the prices of boxes go lower as
the quantity of each run goes higher.
At IPC we can help our clients take advantage of volume discounts without taking delivery of the full quantity
ordered in one shipment. We will produce up to a 90 day supply for you and hold it in our warehouse. We will deliver at
your request, and bill you for only the quantity delivered. The advantages to our clients are as follows:
- Lower pricing because of larger quantity manufactured
- Saved warehouse space
- Next day delivery of custom boxes
- Improved cash flow
