Your package is more than a container – and at its best, it can breathe new life into both your brand – and your ROI. From concept to design, production to distribution and consumption, Veritiv has the insights and experience to help you uncover all the ways your packaging can generate more efficiencies, more sales, and more profits.
As the leading provider of packaging solutions, Veritiv brings you the know-how and innovative thinking of experienced packaging engineers, technicians, designers and sales professionals who share a common mission: to deliver solutions to help you improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and grow your business.
We start by focusing on your fulfillment operations, and turning opportunities into innovative, cost-effective solutions to achieve these powerful advantages.
We do this by bringing together the best ideas, materials, processes, equipment, and designs to give you a higher return on investment from your fulfillment operations.
We’re material-neutral, so we source a wide range of materials from best-in-class suppliers around the world, and carefully select what is best for your applications. These materials are used to protect, ship, and track a wide variety of products, supporting cold-chain, tamper-evident, branded and other applications, at the primary (product), secondary (case), and tertiary (pallet) levels.
Our local equipment specialists and service technicians will help you cost-effectively streamline production, and turn manual processes into mechanized ones. Flexible financing options are available to meet your budget needs.
Our suppliers are leaders in their categories, offering a wide range of products that we carefully select based on your needs. This is a representative sample of our suppliers.
Using our proprietary Cost Analysis Tool (CAT) and Site Survey, we’ll evaluate each link in your supply chain and fulfillment operations, and identify every possible method to reduce total operational costs – in materials, processes, dimensional shipping weight and more – for increased packaging speed, throughput, and savings.
With more than 170 strategic locations, we’re fast – and flexible. Our investments in the world’s most advanced tier-one software platforms for supply chain management give you reliability, speed, and accuracy. (For example, RedPrarie warehouse management, SmartSync inventory management, JDA demand planning, Roadnet Technologies route planning, and xata fleet tracking.) In addition, our eCommerce solutions help you increase order accuracy, boost staff productivity, and empower people with the information they need to take action – view catalogs, check prices and inventories, create “My Items” lists, track orders, and more.
Our comprehensive approach to Packaging Design and Engineering involves a critical blend of structural and graphic design. We’ll bundle together solutions that decrease package weight and materials, reduce returns due to damages, advance your brand, and result in a great customer experience.
Over the years, we’ve done a little bit of everything. But all our Kitting, Assembly and Fulfillment projects have one thing in common – a focus on process, whereby the steps are aligned and products are grouped, packaged, and delivered.
Our International Services teams offer the same services you’d expect in North America, plus additional services to help you navigate the complexities and avoid the pitfalls of manufacturing abroad. Our people, facilities, and partners in Europe, Asia, and South America are ready to help you enter new markets with confidence and peace-of-mind.
Veritiv’s team of sustainability experts will help you meet your sustainability goals and be conscientious stewards of natural resources across your entire supply chain. We’ll show you how to generate less waste by minimizing or eliminating materials, reduce trips and emissions by loading trucks to full capacity, and implement a recycling program. We’ll perform Life Cycle Assessments (LCA’s) to compare the environmental impacts of various packaging solutions. And rest assured that Veritiv participates in a number of programs designed to promote sustainability, including The Sustainable Packaging Coalition, SmartWay, and Energy Star, among others.
The Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) is an industry working group dedicated to a robust environmental vision for packaging. SPC is a project of GreenBlue, a nonprofit that equips businesses with the science and resources to make products more sustainable. We also work with the Forest Working Group of GreenBlue.
PacNext’s vision is a world without packaging waste. They are part of the Packaging Consortium, which includes over 2100 members throughout the packaging supply chain with a mission to drive for progressive change in the packaging value chain through leadership, collaboration and knowledge sharing.
