Inventory Strategy & Distribution

Always Stocked. Never Overstocked.
unning out of packaging stops a line. Ordering too much ties up cash and floor space. OlymPak takes both off your plate. Through Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) and optimized ordering schedules, we plan production around your real usage, produce in efficient runs, and release finished packaging on your timeline. The result is dependable supply, fewer rush orders, and a leaner, more predictable packaging spend.
Information on Inventory & Distribution
What is Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)?
What is Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)?
VMI is a partnership where OlymPak takes responsibility for keeping you stocked. We review your items, order history, lead times and storage limits, then set minimum and maximum stock levels for each item. From there, we monitor your usage, produce ahead of demand and replenish your packaging before you run low, so your team never has to chase an order.
What is an optimized ordering schedule?
What is an optimized ordering schedule?
It is a production and delivery plan built around how you actually use packaging. We look at volumes, seasonality and run economics to find the right order quantities and timing, so your items are printed in efficient runs and delivered when you need them, not all at once and not at the last minute.
Can OlymPak hold inventory and release it as needed?
Can OlymPak hold inventory and release it as needed?
Yes. We can produce larger, more efficient runs, hold finished goods at our Mora, Minnesota facility and release them against a blanket order or a set delivery schedule. We can also consolidate orders and ship to multiple plants, distribution centers or store locations. You get the pricing of a bigger run without needing the warehouse space for it.
How does VMI keep my operations running smoothly?
How does VMI keep my operations running smoothly?
Packaging should never be the reason a line stops. With VMI, your packaging supply runs in the background: we watch your usage, plan production ahead of demand and keep safety stock ready, so your team can focus on making and selling product instead of chasing orders. When your business shifts with promotions, seasonal swings, new items or artwork changes, we adjust stock levels and schedules to match. You get steady, predictable supply, fewer last-minute surprises, and a packaging partner that keeps your operation moving.
Is inventory planning more sustainable?
Is inventory planning more sustainable?
It is. Right-sized runs mean less overproduction and less obsolete packaging headed to the landfill, while fewer rush shipments and partial loads mean less fuel and fewer emissions. It is a natural fit with our commitment to sustainable printing and packaging.
