At the beginning of 2022, we experienced issues affecting supply of bespoke cardboard boxes from our sole supplier. We failed to gain precise information to share with a major customer whose Just In Time service was delayed, causing our costs to increase since parts sat idle and storage space was unnecessarily blocked. What’s more, the control we ordinarily enjoy was taken away causing the valuable relationship we’ve nurtured with our client to be negatively influenced and generating anxiety inhouse.
We had to act decisively and a recent commitment to extend PSC’s scope enabled this. Because our growth mentality has driven significant investment in cutting-edge machinery to boost our capacity and innovation, we were equipped to take bespoke box and Stratocell foam insert production and printing services in house to fulfill customers’ demands and satisfy internal employees’ job expectations. Our £150K investment into two new receding head presses, the RB 40 and RB 100, from market-leading Global Cutting Technologies, was the answer.
These high pressure machines increased capacity by 20% and are quick, safe and easy to operate which reduces time, throughput and costs. Our forward-thinking, ambitious strategy has resolved an unacceptable supply chain blockage, eliminated stress for us and our customers and achieved welcome savings. The new packaging capability has generated a new packaging service we will be happy to discuss with other interested parties.
