Sourcing case

Mixed Foodservice Packaging Distributor Case Study

A distributor builds a mixed range of cups, bowls, boxes and bags for local foodservice customers.

Buyer situation

The buyer wanted several packaging categories in one sourcing plan while keeping SKU management simple.

Specification review

The suggested approach was to start with core sizes, confirm carton marks and plan reorder timing.

Practical takeaway

A clean first SKU range is easier to manage than too many minor variations.
