Asset-Based Lending (ABL) for Packaging Manufacturing shops
Borrow against what you already own. We match packaging manufacturing manufacturers with the asset-based lending (abl) structure that fits how you actually run — no equity given up, no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
Why packaging manufacturing shops choose asset-based lending (abl)
The mill wants payment in 15 days. Your CPG brand customer wants terms in 45 or 60. Meanwhile the flexo press runs three shifts and payroll doesn't slow down for anyone's AP department.
Corrugated converters, folding carton producers, flexible packaging, labels, and pouch makers all run capital-intensive businesses where paper, film, and ink move faster than customer payments.
Asset-Based Lending (ABL) is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Revolving lines secured by receivables, inventory, and equipment.

- Line scales with your business
- Often more flexible than traditional bank debt
- Rates typically lower than factoring for the right profile
How it works
- 1The lender evaluates the value of your eligible collateral (AR, inventory, equipment).
