Editor's Notes
- Your package is more than a container – and at its best, it can breathe new life into both your brand – and your ROI. From concept to design, production to distribution and end-use, Veritiv has the insights and experience to help you uncover all the ways your packaging can generate more efficiencies, more sales, and more profits.
- As the leading provider of packaging solutions, Veritiv brings you the know-how and innovative thinking of experienced packaging engineers, technicians, designers and sales professionals who share a common mission: to deliver solutions to help you improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and grow your business.
- We don’t start by taking orders for packaging supplies. We start by focusing on your business and manufacturing needs, and turn them into innovative, cost-effective solutions to achieve these powerful advantages.
- We do this by bringing together the best ideas, optimum materials, original creative designs, proven processes, and cutting-edge equipment and software to provide you with a higher return on investment.
- We’re material-neutral, so we source a wide range of materials from best-in-class suppliers around the world, and carefully select what is best for your application. These materials are used to contain and protect a wide variety of products at the primary (product), secondary (case), and tertiary (pallet) levels.
- Our local equipment specialists and service technicians will help you cost-effectively streamline production, and turn manual processes into mechanized ones. Flexible financing options are available to meet your budget needs.
- Our Facility Advisors are trained on all the Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points (HACCP) enabling products we offer. This includes the product attributes and processes needed to comply with industry and government regulations, as well as best practices for achieving lean manufacturing and other business goals. The Lean philosophy is directly related to the 5S’s – a workplace methodology that thrives on efficiency and effectiveness. 1 – Sort 2 – Set in Order 3 – Shine 4 – Standardization 5 – Sustain We believe there’s an additional “S” for Safety.
- Our suppliers are leaders in their categories, offering a wide range of products that we carefully select based on your needs. This is a representative sample of our suppliers.
- Using our proprietary Cost Analysis Tool (CAT) and Site Survey, we’ll evaluate each link in your supply chain, and identify every possible method to reduce total operational costs – in materials, design, processes and more – and increase packaging speed and throughput.
- Our comprehensive approach to Packaging Design and Engineering involves a critical blend of structural and graphic design. We’ll bundle together solutions that decrease package weight and materials, reduce returns due to damages, advance your brand, and achieve other goals in both Retail and Industrial environments.
- With more than 170 strategic locations, we’re fast – and flexible. Our investments in the world’s most advanced tier-one software platforms for supply chain management give you reliability, speed, and accuracy. (For example, RedPrarie warehouse management, SmartSync inventory management, JDA demand planning, Roadnet Technologies route planning, and xata fleet tracking.)
- Over the years, we’ve done a little bit of everything. But all our Kitting, Assembly and Fulfillment projects have one thing in common – a focus on process, whereby the steps are aligned and products are grouped, packaged, and delivered.
- Veritiv eCommerce solutions help you increase order accuracy, boost staff productivity, and empower people with the information they need to take action.
- Our International Services teams offer the same services you’d expect in North America, plus additional services to help you navigate the complexities and avoid the pitfalls of manufacturing abroad. Our people, facilities, and partners in Europe, Asia, and South America are ready to help you enter new markets with confidence and peace-of-mind.

We’ll perform Life Cycle Assessments (LCA’s) to compare the environmental impacts of various packaging solutions. And rest assured that Veritiv participates in a number of programs designed to promote sustainability, including The Sustainable Packaging Coalition, SmartWay, and Energy Star, among others.

Its purposed is to improve fuel efficiency and environmental performance. Partners of this program move more goods, more miles with lower emissions and less energy.
