1. In-House Procurement

In-house procurement offers direct control and decision-making power, enabling businesses to align packaging strategies with their unique vision and objectives. However, managing procurement internally may require extensive resources, including dedicated personnel, expertise, and time investments. Merchant Boxes offers an alternative that combines the advantages of in-house decision-making with the benefits of an extensive supplier network. Our procurement division collaborates with your in-house stakeholders, providing valuable insights and accessing a vast array of suppliers to ensure optimal packaging solutions that align with your brand's essence.

2. Direct Supplier Engagement

Engaging directly with packaging suppliers can provide businesses with a more hands-on approach to procurement. However, this path demands substantial effort in researching, vetting, and negotiating with suppliers to secure competitive pricing and quality materials. Partnering with Merchant Boxes unlocks an expansive and specialized supplier network, creating unparalleled possibilities for innovative packaging solutions. Our extensive partnerships ensure you access cutting-edge materials, printing technologies, and finishes, while our dedicated team handles negotiations, saving you time and effort.

3. Online Marketplaces

Online marketplaces offer convenience for businesses looking to source packaging materials, allowing them to browse a wide range of options. However, navigating these platforms may lack personalized support and expert guidance. Merchant Boxes bridges this gap by combining the benefits of online accessibility with personalized expertise. Our procurement team grants you access to one of the biggest catalogs of packaging solutions available while taking on all the filtering and searching heaving lift, our dedicated team is readily available to provide tailored recommendations, ensuring your packaging choices align with your brand's identity and objectives.

4. Traditional Procurement Agents

Traditional procurement agents serve as intermediaries between businesses and suppliers. While they potentially streamline certain aspects of the procurement process, they often lack the comprehensive network a division like Merchant Boxes has access to, limiting your packaging options. Merchant Boxes revolutionizes the traditional procurement approach with one of the largest printing networks on the planet. Our vast supplier network built from over 30 years of printing, allows us to source packaging materials, printing technologies, and special finishes, giving you access to limitless possibilities for innovative packaging solutions.
