DePaul Packaging Offers Highly Customized POS Kitting & Palletizing Options

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ — DePaul Packaging is expert in receiving Point-Of-Sale elements from a variety of global sources and turning them into complete Point-Of-Sale displays on short notice. It’s one of DePaul Packaging’s key kitting and assembly capabilities. These displays are kitted, palletized and blasted out the door to client customer’s accounts.

Whether it’s product kitted in ready-to-display merchandisers or products with ready-to-display collateral pieces such as easel cards and dump displays customized by store, DePaul Packaging gets it to account specific stores the way you need it to happen. That’s how deeply DePaul Packaging can drill down into client customizations.

DePaul Packaging partners with clients in servicing the shopper marketing needs of their chain store customers as well as the “independent” stores. This Portland, OR-based custom packer is expert in hand assembly and secure kitting, packing palletizing and loading to speed trucks on their way to your specific destinations be it Sumner, Kent and Tacoma, WA ., Hermiston, OR, Carson, Reno and Sparks, NV, Ogden, UT, Oakland, CA, Vancouver, BC, Asian Ports, San Francisco, Los Angeles, CA., Chicago, IL and points east.

DePaul Packaging has an extensive, successful track record in handling temporary, semi-permanent and permanent Point-Of-Sale assembly for Food/Beverage, Games/Electronics, Apparel, Auto Aftermarket and Recreational Products. Clients that currently utilize and have used DePaul Packaging services include International Coffee, Chocolate and Snack food retailers and manufacturers and local Northwest national brands including Harry & David, Coffee Bean International and Yoshida Foods.

“Temporary and semi-permanent Point-Of-Sale displays are often shipped separately from goods for sale. Whether they meet up at the in-store display can be a dicey thing,” says Dean Stearman, General Manager for the Food & Consumer Goods Packaging Division. “Kitting POS and shipping it on-board product pallets all but eliminates abandoned displays and greatly helps lift special featuring and off-shelf displays ratios as well as consumer take-away.”

This process provides DePaul the opportunity to shine in terms of source coding, palletizing and coordinating mixed-pallet shipments to a wide variety of destinations, all under a complicated array of account specific requirements and policies.

DePaul Packaging has the capability to include customized holiday POS displays specific to the recipient store, per pallet and provide tracking services with full traceability and trackability.

Stearman adds, “Our clients love our problem solving ability and response time. We figure out the line assembly efficiencies and ways to save clients money in the process. It’s our way of hearing and seeing what the client needs and wants that allows us to produce deliverables in a cost efficient and streamlined manner for the demand chain.”

With its high-productivity warehouse in Portland, DePaul Packaging is a nimble one-stop shop for product and POS kitting, bundling and rapid shipping from our door to the designated store locations.

The execution of POS Kitting and Palletizing projects is a testament to DePaul’s commitment to: P.T.A.: People with the right training to complete your project; the Transparency to allow us to work like an internal division of our clients’ operations; and the Adaptability to rise up and scale back in order to match the demands of an ever-changing market place.
