Is asset-based lending (abl) a good fit for packaging manufacturing?

Yes — asset-based lending (abl) is one of the programs we most commonly place for packaging manufacturing shops. Established manufacturers with meaningful receivables, inventory, and/or equipment who want a flexible revolving line.

How fast can a packaging manufacturing shop get funded?

It depends on the program. Factoring often funds within days of account setup; equipment and working capital usually run days to a couple of weeks; SBA and larger term loans take longer. We tell you the real timeline up front.

Do you charge packaging manufacturing manufacturers any fees?

No. We are a business consulting service and are not paid by you. Our funding partners compensate us only after a referred manufacturer actually receives their funds.

Do I have to give up equity?

No. Every program we place is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.

Can we factor invoices to major CPG brands?

Yes. CPG brand receivables (food, beverage, personal care, household) are among the cleanest to factor. Advance rates typically land at 85–92% with rates driven by volume and buyer mix.

Do you fund corrugated, folding carton, flexible packaging, and label converters?

Yes. Corrugated (sheet plants and integrated), folding carton, flexible film and pouches, pressure-sensitive and shrink labels, and rigid packaging all fit the same factoring, PO financing, and equipment financing playbook.

How is ABL different from factoring?

ABL is a revolving line you draw against; factoring is the outright sale of specific invoices. ABL usually has lower cost of capital but stricter eligibility and monthly reporting requirements.

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.
