Specialties:

Sustainable Packaging Solutions
SOURCEntra focuses on simple solutions first that generate bottom-line results!

In spite of sustainable packaging becoming more mainstream (i.e. more major brand owners using sustainable materials for their packaging), finding sustainable solutions to meet consumer demands and implementing corporate sustainability goals regarding packaging is still a daunting challenge for most brand owners.
SOURCEntra weeds out the confusion and provides a simple and direct solution that highlights:
• Target cost reduction opportunities
• Identifies abusers from current supplier list
• Reduce or eliminate materials
• Make transportation and energy costs a priority

SOURCEntra is an active member of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition

David Reed’s Specialties:

COST REDUCTION SERVICES - Given the squeeze on margins that all of our clients are experiencing today, SOURCEntra provides a “Contract Cost Reduction Program”. This program weeds out inefficiencies by reviewing the suitability of the existing packaging & printing strategy, the proper use of resources, elimination and reduction of labor processes and transport damage, and the potential for supplier consolidation. Typical savings are 15 – 20% avoided cost.
