If you resell packaging, you are buying differently from everybody else on this site. You need landed cost you can build a margin on, supply you can promise, and — usually — your own name on the product rather than somebody else’s.
What a distributor programme looks like
| Element | Terms |
|---|---|
| Volume | from roughly 6 full trailers a year |
| Pricing | fixed quarterly, not 14 days |
| Production | scheduled against an annual forecast |
| Stock | held in Poland, released on call-off |
| Invoicing | one consolidated invoice per month |
| Payment | 30 days net after three completed shipments |
| Private label | from 500 kg per design and colour |
Specifications, pack quantities and minimum orders for each: bin liners, stretch film, pallets, cling film.
The commitment is a forecast, not a fixed purchase. If your volumes drop, the forecast is revised at the quarterly review. You are not invoiced for stock you did not call off within the agreed window.
Why buy four categories from one source
Your customers do not buy one category. A regional wholesaler serving cleaning contractors, hotels and small manufacturers sells sacks, film and pallets to overlapping accounts — and typically buys them from four suppliers, each with its own minimum, terms and lead time.
Consolidating means one negotiation, one contract, one invoice, and mixed full loads instead of four part-loads paying most of a full-load rate. On a light, bulky freight from Poland that difference is a visible share of landed cost.
Private label
Your brand on the product is usually worth more than the margin on somebody else’s. Minimums, plate costs, artwork requirements and the timeline are set out in full on private label & OEM.
The short version: 500 kg per design and colour on sacks, one pallet on printed film, plates quoted separately and invoiced once, held for three years, repeat runs at no origination cost.
Note on responsibility: putting your brand on packaging and placing it on the EU market generally makes you the producer under PPWR, with the EPR registration, reporting and technical documentation obligations that follow. We supply the Declaration of Conformity, the material composition statement and the packaging weights in your name; the scheme registration is yours.
Territory
We do not appoint exclusive distributors, and we say so rather than implying otherwise during a negotiation. What we do:
- Not quote your accounts directly. Where you have introduced an account, it is yours.
- Tell you if we are already supplying in your territory, so you can price accordingly.
- Not undercut your list price on the same specification into the same market.
An exclusive arrangement is possible at genuine national volume and is a written agreement with volume commitments on both sides, not a handshake.
Margin and price transparency
We are paid a margin on the goods and the delivered price is quoted before you order. We are not cheaper than a full trailer of one product bought direct from the factory that makes it — nobody is, and on single-category full loads you should buy direct.
Where we win is the mixed load, the private label run below a factory’s own minimum, and not having to run four supplier relationships to fill one truck.
Getting started
Send your current range list with the specifications and, if you are willing, what you pay today. We will quote line for line and tell you plainly where we cannot beat your existing supplier — that answer is more useful to you than a price that quietly excludes half the range.
