You likely pay different prices for each quantity level and for different SKU components. This is typically a result of producing everything with one printing technology. Using one production technology and configuration to produce projects with multiple variables is not efficient.

We offer you our JH-HYBRID solution. Simply put, HYBRID is a production strategy that matches each project with the most effective technology to flatten out the quantity-price per unit curve, offer you optimal aesthetics, and provide the quickest turnaround time possible.

Your packaging inventory reduction effort begins with our Fast Inventory Replenishment Solutions Team (FIRST). We understand that you and your organization are likely challenged to attain optimum inventory levels. The struggle between having enough inventory to eliminate production shut-downs and enabling responses to immediate market demands, contrasted with carrying too much inventory translating into obsolescence and increased carrying costs. Finding the ultimate compromise to harmoniously serve the company’s best interests in terms of finance, production, and marketing is often viewed as organizationally impossible.

Welcome to JH-FIRST. Each of our plants has a FIRST with the focus, tools, and methods to help you and your company strike the perfect balance. Our successes with other companies demonstrate that we can help you sharply reduce inventory and obsolescence, while holding your unit costs constant and virtually eliminating production shut-downs related to packaging.

We can help you simplify the procurement process resulting in more flexibility for marketing, better cost predictability for finance, and a more timely flow of quality packaging elements for production. We look forward to discussing your business and sharing what we have learned with you.

How much packaging inventory do you scrap annually? Packaging scrap is often a bigger cost than companies realize. If you’re saving 10% by placing larger orders, but you're scrapping 20% of your order, you’ve actually spent 9% more than if you had paid the original price and only purchased enough to meet demand. The cost of obsolescence is real. Fortunately, we have effective, proven solutions to help you eliminate or minimize obsolescence.

Packaging distribution methods have a direct impact on costs. Shipping distance and selected delivery services affect inventory levels, production schedules, and total unit cost. Our customers take advantage of our multiple locations to control their costs and reduce distribution time. In fact, some customers have adopted the distribute-then-print model, where production inputs such as graphics can be produced anywhere and then sent online to the print facility site. The print facility is located at or near the product packaging facility to eliminate shipping costs, distribution time, and delivery variability. We have developed insightful analysis to help you determine the most effective distribution method and look forward to sharing with you.

You need packaging that will differentiate your products and provide powerful shelf-appeal at the point-of-sale. Poor aesthetics translate into significant opportunity costs for your company. Every sale by a competitor with a similar product positioned alongside yours is revenue lost.

Our clients expect us to be technology and process leaders, ensuring they have the best resources available to differentiate their packaging. Year after year we’ve responded by aggressively and strategically investing in new technology. Our strategy is a HYBRID approach to processes and technology, offering our clients affordable versatility and scalability. Our HYBRID approach offers clients the optimum solution for each unique packaging project. We encourage you to remove your package design constraints and talk to us about creating packaging that sells!

If you receive packaging that cannot be used because of inferior quality, the cost can be enormous. There is no good scenario or silver lining. Your production lines are stopped. Your ability to deliver product to your distribution channel is compromised. Sales, cash flow, and relationships are negatively impacted. Our clients depend on us to prevent these events by facilitating a smooth, predictable distribution of packaging components to them.

You can be assured we have implemented quality systems and state-of-the-art production technology to deliver consistent quality. Our Standard Operating Procedures are continually reviewed and certified by large healthcare and pharmaceutical companies. We have a team of quality professionals on staff who are focused on refining procedures and educating personnel.

Your projects will be scrutinized by the trained eyes of our personnel as well as by the industry’s latest automated visual inspection systems. You expect your projects delivered right the first time, and every time thereafter. We will meet your expectations.

Our clients depend on us for superior service. They’ve come to expect and appreciate our professional Account Managers, fast turnaround times, and capacity to handle peak ordering cycles.

We provide you with an experienced, professional Account Manager who will bring cost-saving ideas and options to your packaging process. Your Account Manager will get to know your business and anticipate your needs.

Fast turnaround time is a must in today’s business environment. We typically deliver 60% of our repeat orders in four days or less and 95% in less than 10 days. New orders typically extend turn times one to three days. Fast turnaround eliminates costly production line shut-downs resulting from packaging delays.

During your peak periods you cannot afford delays due to your packaging supplier’s capacity constraints. With over 60 presses in four facilities capable of operating 24/7 you never need worry about overtaxing our ability to meet your needs. Again, packaging delivery delays can add tremendous cost to your production line and distribution channel relationships.

Our clients look to us to help them reduce their number of packaging suppliers. Our multiple products and processes simplify your purchasing, by delivering consistent printing results throughout product lines and brands, and facilitating multiple product/component delivery. We refer to this approach as Packaging Component Kitting, or PCK Integration. PCK Integration enables companies to simultaneously order and then receive multiple packaging components related to the same SKU. Ordering labels, cartons, and inserts to arrive in equal quantities, kitted on pallets by SKU simplifies purchasing, receiving, and production line staging of packaging components.

To further simplify purchasing we also offer increasingly popular e-commerce solutions like automated order receipt, quote requests, graphic file submission, proofing, order tracking (status), and customer survey. All of these tools help boost organization, communication, and ordering/delivering speed
