Details

Purchasing

Purchasing of raw materials is available based on the scope of the project and at the industry standard markup.

Warehousing

CPS has ample space for your raw materials and finished goods.

Inventory Control & Reporting

All materials are meticulously tracked and reported at regular intervals.

EDI Capable

EDI is an efficent method of communicating purchase orders and invoicing, which is available to our partners.

Case Studies

Sustainability

CPS provided a clamshell partner a new sustainable design that reduced material costs by 16% and increased post consumer recycled waste content from 30% to 88%. New packaging moved from an RPET clam using 30% post consumer recycled waste to a CCNB carton made from 88% post consumer recycled waste. The carton also incorporated design improvements that added display functionality and allowed for increased automation.

Reduced Lead Time

One partner communicated a need to reduce their sales lead time to increase sales. CPS responded by offering to skip shipping to the partner’s distribution centers and ship directly to the retailer’s distribution centers.

Material Cost Reduction

When one component of a project dramatically increased in price, CPS worked with the vendor to conceptualize a lower cost option that maintained all of the features of the original but mitigated 71% of the price increase.

Labor Cost Reduction

A partner who sells to large retailers had price pressure from their customers. CPS staff used Lean Manufacturing principles to reduce labor costs for one partner by 8% on a volume of 6 million pieces per year.

Speed

When a company’s existing vendor fell behind on a multi-million piece job, CPS completed it during the Christmas/New Year holiday season. 400,000 pieces were completed in three days including work on New Year’s Eve to accomplish the year-end deadline.

Agility

A partner had their raw materials delayed in customs cutting production time in half. The job was partially automated, which created a bottleneck to increasing volume. CPS quickly procured additional machinery to double volume and achieve the deadline.

Problem Solving

A new partner approached CPS with a need to redesign a part in their retail product but their solution resulted in a 20% labor cost increase. CPS implemented a solution serving the same needs with no increase in labor cost.

Expertise

High-Quality

Every job, regardless of size is set up for maximum accuracy and the products tested to ensure adherence to strict packaging standards and specifications.

Fast Turn

We specialize in reacting to rapidly changing business segments with little or no forecast.

Reliability

You’ll find we offer unequaled accountability resulting in our commitment to shipping on time.

Cost Reduction

Through labor efficiency, material vendor review, and innovative packaging suggestions your operating costs are lowered and at the same time aligned to meet your sustainability initiatives.
