5 Ways to Cut Costs with Your Packaging Supplier

Cutting business costs is a great way to improve your bottom line. Here at DEJ’s we have been supplying businesses, just like yours, for over 30 years. Here are our tips on saving costs associated with Chemicals, Cleaning & Hygiene, Packaging and Accommodation Amenities.

Simplify Your Packaging Options And Save

Sometimes having too many options can increase the costs of your packaging items.  For example, having 10 different types of bags when you could consider having just 3 is a great way to cut costs.  Or move to a more common mass produced item such as Kraft Board rather than Palm Leaf.  Or look at Single Wall Coffee Cups rather than Double Wall Cups.  Recycled Plastic (RPET) Cups instead of PLA Cups.  There are so many options to consider.  At DEJ's we are here to help you simplify and save to help your businesses efficiency and bottom line.

Bigger, Less Frequent Ordering

You may be able to lower per-unit costs by making bigger bulk purchases of the same item and by buying boxes rather than sleeves or products.  DEJ’s broad range comprehensively covers cleaning & hygiene, as well as food & retail and industrial packaging. Less orders require less processing time, allowing you more time to focus on your business and reduce costs and having less deliveries also lowers your staffs time putting away and checking off the orders.

Reduce Waste

Chemcials dispensers are a great way to reduce cost and eliminate waste. Precisely dosing the chemical with the correct amount of water and mixing, saves time and effort. It also removes the chance of costly errors being made. This may be a solution we can provide to your work place.  And why not have a look through your workplace bins! Check out what is being discarded the most. Work out how this can be reduced or eliminated.  

Think Quality

Instead of instinctively seeking out the cheapest price, also consider the quality of the product. Would a higher quality product last longer? Make customers happier & more loyal? Improve your end-product?  What does your packaging say about your brand and your product?  Poor quality / cheap packaging might save you a few cents (literally), but could cost you a customer that never returns, or worse, leaves your business a bad review after their food falls through their packaging all over them!
