Catapult Print helped a major dairy company cut label lead times from weeks to days, easing inventory pressure and improving supply chain efficiency.
A leading dairy brand in North America turned to Catapult Print after struggling with long and unreliable label delivery times from its previous supplier. Extended waits were creating costly inventory build-ups and making it difficult for the company to respond quickly to changing production schedules and packaging needs.
Catapult redesigned the dairy company’s labeling process with a focus on speed, reliability and lower stockholding requirements. The company reduced lead times from as long as eight weeks to just six days, allowing the dairy processor to operate with significantly less excess inventory.
The shorter turnaround gave the dairy brand greater flexibility in managing product launches, packaging changes and day-to-day production demands. By no longer needing to hold large volumes of labels in storage, the company improved cash flow and reduced the risk of obsolete packaging materials.
Catapult said the project delivered more than a logistical improvement. The company produced around 50 stock-keeping units while maintaining a six-day average turnaround, 93% on-time delivery and full completion of every order. Those results helped strengthen the dairy processor’s confidence in its packaging supply chain.
The case highlights a growing trend across the dairy industry, where processors are seeking faster, more agile packaging partners to keep pace with changing consumer demand and increasingly complex product portfolios. Rapid label production is becoming a competitive advantage for dairy manufacturers looking to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency.
