Purchase Order Financing for Packaging Manufacturing shops
Say yes to the big PO. We match packaging manufacturing manufacturers with the purchase order financing structure that fits how you actually run — no equity given up, no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
Why packaging manufacturing shops choose purchase order financing
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.
Purchase Order Financing is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Get the capital to fulfill large customer orders without straining cash flow.
What packaging manufacturing shops get
- Take on orders that would otherwise be out of reach
- Doesn't require giving up equity

- 2The PO financing partner pays your suppliers (directly or via letter of credit) so you can produce the order.
- 3You produce and deliver the goods.
- 4The customer pays on the invoice; the financing is repaid and you keep the profit.
