Printpack, an Atlanta-based manufacturer of flexible and rigid packaging, faced challenges in effectively communicating production data from its contract manufacturers. This study presents the implementation of technology and integration solutions to streamline the contract manufacturing process.

Methodology included the development of an internet portal, file integration systems, and the implementation of barcode labeling. Results show significant improvements in visibility and traceability of the manufacturing process, with an increase in data accuracy and a reduction in processing time. This study demonstrates how targeted technological solutions can overcome communication challenges in contract manufacturing, leading to improved efficiency and accuracy in the packaging industry.

The research addressed three main objectives:
Objective 1: Provide flexible data communication options for vendors
Objective 2: Improve material packaging and labeling for enhanced inventory management
Objective 3: Increase production data accuracy for improved payment validation
