VALUE ADDED SERVICES
Knowledge
Prystup Packaging’s Board of Directors alone has over 150 years’ experience in the folding carton industry. In fact, the level of expertise throughout the company is so respected that Product Development Engineers, Packaging Designers and Buyers alike often rely on Prystup’s staff for practical advice about paperboard, structural design, printability and machineability.
Autonomy
The fact that Prystup Packaging Products is not affiliated with a paper mill enables the company to negotiate for all types of paperboard and suggest creative buying solutions which may reduce costs.
Quality
Quality workmanship is a corporate level initiative at Prystup Packaging Products and it is the responsibility of every person on the payroll—both in the plants and in the offices. Standard quality checks are conducted for every factory order, but the quality assurance staff has come to expect a new list of specifications with each new customer. They are experienced, therefore, in creating customer-specific inspection and testing programs.
Responsiveness
Every aspect of P.P.P.’s operation has been designed to enhance communication and continually improve the company’s ability to serve. Because board members are actively involved in day-to-day operations, the company is not burdened with layers of corporate management. They respond quickly to customer requests. In-house pre-press, ink making and die maintenance facilities make it possible for craftspeople to work closely with their suppliers and offer informed solutions to production challenges. In fact, Prystup’s long-time relationships with their own suppliers has often been an important factor in their ability to accomplish quick turn-arounds. The proximity of sales, administrative and production staff to each other—and the production lines—encourages an open dialogue that assures efficiency. All facilities are conveniently located near one of Southeast’s main transportation arteries and a knowledgeable Traffic Manager coordinates timely LTL or full-truckload deliveries, using customer-preferred carriers or reliable carriers known to him.
Competitiveness
Since day one, Prystup Packaging Products has competed in the national marketplace and their products have been shipped all over the world. Twenty-five years of experience—and experiments—have led the company to the markets it can best serve, however. Prystup Packaging sells almost exclusively to the following industry groups: food and beverage, health and beauty, over-the-counter pharmaceutical and other shelf goods (both perishable and non-perishable, frozen and non-frozen). By design, the production facilities are manned, equipped and operated to assure quality workmanship at a reasonable cost for these product lines.
