FAQ
What are assembled products in a corrugated sheet plant?
Assembled products are offerings that require additional labor, components, or packaging steps beyond standard converting. This can include hand glueing and assembly, kit building, display assembly, multi-component orders, or finished goods that combine corrugated materials with other packaging materials such as foams.
Sheet and box plants can benefit from EnCore Assembled Products if they offer POP (point-of-purchase) displays, kits, or pre-assembled packaging for retail, consumer products, food and beverage, medical device, electronics or automotive industries.
Why should corrugated plants consider adding or expanding assembled product operations?
Assembled products give sheet and box plants a way to move beyond traditional packaging production into services that require much less capital investment and are less directly impacted by board price increases. By offering assembly, kitting, and specialty packaging solutions plants can deepen customer relationships, support more complex programs, protect margins, and become a more strategic partner to customers who need more than manufactured boxes.
How does EnCore Assembled Products support these operations better?
Standard packaging ERP systems are typically built around estimating, order entry, scheduling, inventory, and production for conventional corrugated manufacturing. EnCore Assembled Products extends those workflows with capabilities designed specifically for assembly work, including digital hand assembly reporting, crew and labor capacity planning, component availability, staging and line bin control, finished goods traceability, real-time production alerts, and MRP visibility into assembled-product demand and consumption. .
