No matter how well purchasing and production cycles are planned, some companies end up with excess packaging inventory.
Released By McKernan Packaging Clearing House
January 17, 2025
No matter how well purchasing and production cycles are planned, some companies end up with excess packaging inventory. Having this surplus packaging can complicate your supply chain and create an unnecessary financial strain for your business. In the personal care industry, overstock packaging can occur for several reasons.
How Overstock Packaging Builds
· Product Discontinuation: Packaging that was purchased for a product and it’s no longer in production.
· Packaging Redesigns: A shift in design or branding that renders old packaging obsolete.
· Changes in Market Demand: A product’s popularity can decline, leaving you with a surplus of packaging.
· Over-Ordering: Sometimes purchasing decisions don’t align with actual sales, leading to excess inventory.
No matter the cause, the reality is the same. You’re left with surplus or overstock packaging that is not producing revenue and is taking valuable warehouse space away from profitable inventory. In addition, you are creating extra overhead costs associated with storing and maintaining this obsolete packaging. All of this could be costing you sales!
What Can Be Done With This Oversupply of Packaging?
For over 66 years, McKernan Packaging Clearing House has helped businesses recoup some of their costs associated with surplus inventory by purchasing unused and unbranded packaging components with our We Buy Packaging program. We Buy Packaging is a cost-effective, secure way to clear space in your warehouse while offering you cash. Plus, we will pay to ship it. Instead of letting your surplus packaging sit in storage, why not turn it into cash?
The Environmental and Financial Impact of Surplus Packaging
Throwing away excess packaging or dumping it in a landfill can be costly and negatively impact the environment. The decision to dump inventory without trying to regain some of your initial investment is a difficult decision to make. The longer you hold onto extra packaging, the more it affects your profit margins and operational efficiency.
Recycling is an option, but it takes time and energy to make completely new packaging or other items. Comparably, McKernan typically offers more than recycle value and will pay for shipping and freight costs.
What Does McKernan Buy?
McKernan purchases a variety of personal care packaging components, including:
Plastic Bottles • Metal Bottles • Glass Bottles • Glass Jars • Plastic Jars • Candle Containers • Collapsible Tubes • Aerosol • Continuous Thread Caps • Dispensing Caps • Metal Caps • Sprayers • Trigger Sprayers • Fine Mist Sprayers • Garden Sprayers • Regular Mist Sprayers • Lotion Pumps • Treatment Pumps • Foamer Pumps • Droppers • Airless Packaging • Tins • and More!!
