In the world of wholesale supply chains, "Distance is Cost." Every mile your packaging travels from a distant supplier is a mile where damage can occur and carbon footprints expand. For businesses in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, partnering with a local manufacturer like Supply Carton is a strategic hedge against global supply chain volatility. By utilizing a local supplier, you can move toward a Just-In-Time (JIT) inventory model. Instead of dedicating thousands of square feet of expensive warehouse space to store six months' worth of boxes, you can order smaller, more frequent batches. This frees up your capital and your floor space for your actual product. When your lead time is measured in hours rather than weeks, your business becomes significantly more agile.
