Newton Print joins forces with sustainable food packaging expert to host free webinar
BUSINESSES looking for new packaging suppliers can learn more from a Devon-based carbon-balanced producer of printed carton-board packaging and sustainable food packaging expert during a free webinar this March (2023).
The webinar, hosted by Simon Besley from Newton Print and Katie Roselaar from Innovate to Zero, will take place on Friday, March 3 from 12noon and registration is open now at https://bit.ly/3H1fwav.
Simon Besley, Sales and Marketing Director at Newton Print, which specialises in assisting companies with bringing their products to market on time and is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, said: “Whether your brand is large or small, established or emerging, suppliers invariably have a huge impact on your business.
“Finding the right suppliers for your unique situation takes time and energy but following a proven process and asking the right questions should get better results, with less effort.
“We’re running this webinar so businesses can learn more about packaging suppliers, from resellers to manufacturers or high-volume to low-volume specialists, we will help you find the right ones for your situation.
“In this session we will cover:
- What does the optimum supplier(s) look like for your business?
- Understanding your key motivations to recruiting suppliers
- A process of shortlisting the market to target a handful of suppliers to get to know in detail
- Selecting your optimum partner
- Best practices and pitfalls to consider throughout the process.”
Katie has more than 20 years’ experience in the packaging industry, working with manufacturers as well as food and drink businesses. She now co-runs her own consultancy, Innovate to Zero, helping clients specify and source the most sustainable and cost-effective packaging for their brand.
She said: “At Innovate to Zero we pride ourselves in supporting clients to specify exactly what the ideal packaging is for their product and brand – both now and in the future. We then find the optimum suppliers for each element of their packaging.
“In our experience, suppliers and clients are all so different that there is no single ‘best supplier’, more that it is about finding the right one for the clients’ unique set of requirements.
“Cost is often high up the priority list, as is sustainability, but sometimes a supplier is picked for their ability to provide a low minimum order quantity, flexible and timely call off of goods, short lead time, or other unique selling points. As their business grows and evolves, our roadmaps come into play – setting triggers at the key points to re-evaluate.
“I am looking forward to sharing our businesses expertise with attendees to our webinar and hope lots of people join us.”
