The business behind the story
Flexible packaging is a small part of a finished product, but brands need it ready when production starts. This manufacturer supplies rollstock film and bags that protect goods and prepare them for the shelf. Its offering includes custom-printed flexible packaging, from design through delivery.
Larger orders, the same payment gap
The business operates on thin margins. Buying materials before customers pay leaves little room to finance the next production run from cash on hand. As orders increased, that timing gap became harder to manage.
Working capital for the next production run
Vendor Financing helped the business pay material vendors on time and take on larger orders. It could keep materials moving while customers paid on their agreed terms. The manufacturer could keep material vendors paid and accept larger orders instead of sizing production only to cash on hand. Financing the payment gap supported continuity in purchasing and production.
Room to take on more business
The business recorded 134% revenue growth from 2024 to 2025, $2.1 million in total invoice value funded, and 109 invoices financed since 2022. Financing supported purchasing through that period of growth.
What this means for a business like yours
When margins are thin, the timing of payments can matter as much as the size of the next order.
