Better deals on the products you buy repeatedly.

Packaging, print and parcel delivery for consumer brands. We focus on addressable recurring spend with a credible route to a worthwhile saving.

Printed packaging

Printed corrugated outer shippers and cases, paperboard multipack cartons and crash-lock cartons used by retail and DTC brands.

We establish the approved specification, manufacturing run size, delivery quantities and stock requirements before suppliers quote. Samples and technical approval form part of the decision.

Recurring print

Magazines, welcome booklets, inserts, leaflets and other materials purchased in repeat production runs.

Paper, format, pagination, print, finishing and delivery are defined so manufacturers price the same requirement. Alternative specifications are assessed separately.

Parcel delivery

We compare the actual parcel mix, weights, destinations, collection pattern, service levels, fuel and other surcharges against current carrier terms. Existing strong rates may still offer a smaller contribution to the combined result.

Is the opportunity worthwhile?

Annual spend, unit price, purchasing volume and the likely saving all matter. A large parcel bill may already have competitive rates, while packaging or print offers a larger percentage saving. We assess the weighted result across the full agreed basket.

There is no universal unit-volume cut-off. We assess smaller opportunities individually and agree whether to proceed before launching a tender.

We also review order quantities, stockholding, carrier surcharges and payment terms alongside price and service.
