Frequently Asked Questions
01
The most effective way to simplify international packaging procurement is to source from a supplier that manages logistics as part of the service — covering freight, customs clearance, and delivery — rather than coordinating those elements separately. Managing freight, carriers, and customs independently adds significant administrative overhead and creates gaps in accountability that fall on the procurement team to resolve. Evergreen handles end-to-end logistics for all orders, giving customers one point of contact from production through to delivery anywhere in the world.
02
Packaging suppliers with high shipping volumes can bid each shipment across multiple international freight forwarding partners, achieving rates that most individual brands cannot access independently. Volume-based carrier relationships provide market insight and negotiating leverage that compounds over time. Evergreen books over 5,000 TEUs annually across a network of 10+ freight forwarding partners, with every shipment bid competitively so that savings are passed directly to customers.
03
Brands sourcing packaging internationally without a strong global partner face misaligned production and shipping timelines, customs delays, and fragmented accountability when something goes wrong. Each handoff is a point of potential failure that the procurement team is left to resolve. Evergreen manages the full journey from production to delivery, consolidating responsibility and removing that coordination burden from the buyer entirely.
04
Customs clearance requires accurate documentation, correct duty classification, and compliance with import and export regulations. When managed by the packaging supplier directly, this removes one of the most common causes of delay — errors in paperwork that hold goods at port while a separate broker is engaged. Evergreen handles all customs clearance in-house, managing compliance and documentation so customers receive their orders without needing to coordinate a separate customs process.
05
Brands purchasing packaging internationally should expect real-time shipment visibility and a single point of contact responsible for updates across the full delivery journey — not fragmented communication across multiple carriers. Without this, tracking shipment status becomes a time-consuming task that falls on the procurement team. Evergreen's logistics team manages communication throughout, providing proactive updates so customers always know where their shipments are and when to expect delivery.
06
The most reliable way to avoid supply gaps is to work with a supplier that monitors your demand patterns, production lead times, and transit times together — flagging potential gaps before they affect your production schedule. This level of coordination is only possible when logistics is managed by the same team overseeing production. Evergreen's operations team tracks these variables continuously for each customer, adjusting delivery schedules proactively to keep production running without interruption.
07
Yes — Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) programmes allow brands to maintain reliable access to packaging supply without holding large volumes on-site. Extended financing terms can further reduce the working capital tied up in inventory. Evergreen's safety inventory programme enables 24–48 hour replenishment lead times, and a no-billing-until-final-delivery policy means customers are not carrying the financial burden of stock they haven't yet received.
08
Procurement teams should look for a packaging supplier that manages the full delivery journey — not just production — with multi-modal freight coverage, customs handling, real-time shipment visibility, and a demonstrated on-time delivery record. The ability to manage forecasting and inventory alongside freight is a strong indicator of a supplier built to handle the complexity of global packaging procurement. Evergreen has maintained a 99%+ on-time delivery rate, including zero missed shipments during the COVID-19 pandemic.
