Today, anyone can be a photographer, after all, in every smartphone we have quite good cameras that allow us to obtain better quality photos than professional equipment in the past.
Anyone can be a doctor - on Google we can find descriptions and methods of treating all diseases.
If so, why not shop online? Now we can purchase our dream product very easily and conveniently.
Those who have tried to order something for themselves know the risks. And what if we want to order packaging for the production of 100 cosmetics, with a deadline to implement a project worth one million zlotys? The risk of an error, which seems small and associated with the cheapest procedure, is as high as the price we may pay for the work of several dozen people for half a year. Not to mention the purchase value of all the components.
Is it worth risking the loss of several thousand zlotys intended for the development of the mentioned project if we have the opportunity to purchase the desired element from a domestic supplier? Especially if the product was purchased earlier and the supplier keeps it in his warehouse, guaranteeing immediate delivery of any quantity of goods?
It is obvious that he will earn some money from it, and the price of the product will increase by half a percent. However, this solution allows you to minimize any risk, the cost of which would outweigh the purchase value of all raw materials. Additionally, it helps to avoid all image losses that are difficult to estimate, such as fines from retail chains, ineffective promotion and advertising of a new product, etc.
Not everything can be bought immediately, not everything may suit us, but by cooperating with an experienced company that buys millions of packages a year from many manufacturers around the world, we are always able to choose something. This allows you to speed up the entire implementation process by several months, at a lower cost than exchange rate fluctuations or a comparable bank commission.
The fact is that even the best and largest team in any cosmetics company does not order and take care of 1500 orders a year.
And yet there are companies that work on just such a scale. The experience of such a purchasing department can easily be compared to the experience of a large cosmetics factory. That's why it's worth trusting large distributors.
