More brands are moving packaging production in-house — and the economics have changed. Here's what's driving the shift.
1. Minimum order quantities kill agility
Traditional packaging suppliers often demand runs of 10,000–20,000+ units. For businesses testing new products, that's dead stock and tied-up cash. Digital production brings viable runs down to the hundreds.
2. Speed to market wins
In-house production means new designs go from artwork to finished box in days. Businesses we work with launch seasonal ranges and personalised editions their competitors simply can't match.
3. Premium finishes are now accessible
White ink, metallic foiling and spot embellishment — once the preserve of long-run specialists — now run on compact digital equipment.
4. The equipment pays for itself
Between outsourcing margins saved, waste reduced and new revenue from short-run work, most installations we support have a clear payback case. Read how London Luxury Candle Supplies did it.
