Sell Excess Inventory After a Packaging Change
Sell Old Packaging Inventory After a Packaging Change
Did your company redesign its packaging while you still have new inventory in the previous packaging?
Packaging updates are a normal part of running a brand, but they can leave manufacturers, distributors and retailers with thousands of perfectly good products that no longer match the company's current presentation.
Big Willy’s Wholesale purchases qualifying new, unused previous-packaging inventory in bulk from brands, manufacturers, distributors, importers, wholesalers and retailers throughout the United States.
If you have pallets or truckloads of new merchandise after a packaging change, our buying team wants to review the opportunity.
Who Buys Inventory in Old Packaging?
Wholesale inventory buyers can provide an alternative sales channel for products that remain new and sellable but no longer fit a brand's primary distribution strategy.
Companies may update packaging because of a brand redesign, logo change, label update, new product claims, package-size change, retailer requirement, UPC transition, marketing refresh or product-line update.
Once the new packaging enters distribution, businesses may want to move the previous version quickly rather than continuing to warehouse two packaging versions of the same product.
Big Willy’s Wholesale evaluates qualifying previous-packaging merchandise for bulk purchase.
Brands: Sell Previous-Packaging Products
A packaging redesign can create excess inventory overnight.
The product inside may be identical, but the older packaging may no longer match your current brand presentation.
Rather than allowing that inventory to consume warehouse space, qualifying new merchandise can be submitted to Big Willy’s Wholesale for evaluation.
If there are restrictions regarding where or how the products can be resold, include those requirements with your submission.
Manufacturers: Move Inventory After Packaging Changes
Manufacturers may have finished goods remaining when a customer or brand transitions to updated packaging.
There may also be excess packaging components, finished production runs or previously completed orders that are no longer needed by the original customer.
We evaluate qualifying new finished merchandise in previous packaging available in bulk quantities.
Distributors: Sell Previous-Version Inventory
When brands introduce new packaging, distributors can sometimes find themselves holding both versions simultaneously.
Retail customers may begin requesting the updated packaging even though the previous version remains completely new and sellable.
Selling the older inventory in bulk can help distributors clean up SKUs, free warehouse positions and focus purchasing on the current version.
Retailers: Sell New Merchandise After a Package Refresh
Retailers may also have excess merchandise following store resets or brand packaging updates.
If products remain new and unused, Big Willy’s Wholesale can evaluate qualifying inventory for a bulk purchase.
This can provide another option for merchandise that no longer fits a retailer's current shelf presentation.
What Types of Previous-Packaging Inventory Do We Buy?
Big Willy’s Wholesale evaluates new consumer merchandise across categories including Beauty & Personal Care, Food & Beverage, Baby, Pet, Household, Electronics, Toys, Office & School, Outdoor Gear, Kitchen & Cookware, Disposable Food Service Supplies, PPE & Gloves and general merchandise.
Products with expiration dates should include accurate dating information when submitted.
Other categories of new merchandise can also be considered.
We Buy New Merchandise Only
Big Willy’s Wholesale purchases new merchandise.
We do not purchase customer returns, used merchandise, open-box goods, refurbished products or reconditioned merchandise.
Older packaging is not a problem by itself. The important distinction is that the merchandise remains new, unused and accurately represented.
We Buy Pallets & Truckloads
Our focus is bulk inventory.
We evaluate multiple pallets, full truckloads, multi-truckload positions, large single-SKU quantities and mixed-SKU inventories.
If both old and new packaging exist, clearly identify which version is included in the inventory being offered.
What Should You Send Our Buying Team?
For the fastest evaluation, send the product name, UPC or SKU, available quantity, case pack, photos of the exact packaging being offered, warehouse location, expiration dates when applicable, asking price and any resale restrictions.
For multi-SKU opportunities, include an inventory spreadsheet or manifest.
Also explain why the packaging changed and whether the current retail version uses a different UPC.
These details can help our buying team evaluate the opportunity more efficiently.
Turn Previous-Packaging Inventory Into Working Capital
Inventory does not stop consuming resources simply because the packaging is no longer current.
Selling qualifying previous-packaging merchandise in bulk can help your business recover working capital, clear warehouse space, reduce carrying costs, simplify inventory and transition fully to your new packaging.
Instead of allowing the previous version to sit in storage, give our buying team an opportunity to review it.
