Changed Your Packaging? Sell Your Remaining Inventory in Bulk

Did your company redesign its packaging, update its branding, change a label, or launch a new package while new inventory in the previous packaging is still sitting in your warehouse?

Big Willy’s Wholesale purchases qualifying new, unused merchandise in previous or outdated packaging from brands, manufacturers, distributors, importers, wholesalers, and other businesses throughout the United States.

The packaging may have changed, but the merchandise can still have value.

If you have multiple pallets, truckloads, or a larger inventory position, submit it to our buying team for review.

Who Buys Inventory in Old Packaging?

Packaging changes happen constantly in consumer products.

A company may introduce a new logo, update package graphics, change bottle or carton designs, modify case packs, refresh branding, or transition to an entirely new retail presentation.

Once the new packaging enters distribution, businesses can be left with significant quantities of the previous version.

Instead of allowing that inventory to occupy warehouse space, qualifying merchandise can be offered to a wholesale inventory buyer.

Brands: Sell Inventory After a Rebrand

A rebrand can create excess inventory even when the product itself has not changed.

Once retailers and distributors begin receiving newly branded merchandise, remaining inventory carrying the previous branding may become difficult to sell through normal channels.

Big Willy’s Wholesale evaluates qualifying new merchandise remaining after branding and packaging transitions.

If channel, marketplace, geographic, or other resale restrictions apply, include those requirements with your submission.

Manufacturers: Sell Previous-Packaging Finished Goods

Manufacturers may have finished goods remaining when a customer approves a new package design.

Those products may be completely new and retail-ready but no longer match the current packaging specification.

We evaluate qualifying finished goods, production overruns, old-package inventory, and other new merchandise created during packaging transitions.

Distributors: Clear Previous-Version Inventory

Distributors can also get caught between packaging generations.

New packaging may begin arriving before the previous version has completely sold through, creating duplicate inventory positions for essentially the same product.

Selling qualifying older-package inventory in bulk can help distributors reduce inactive SKUs, free pallet positions, and simplify inventory management.

Importers: Sell Inventory After Packaging Changes

Packaging changes can be especially challenging when inventory has already been manufactured overseas or is in transit.

A company may approve new packaging while containers of the previous design are still moving through the supply chain.

Big Willy’s Wholesale can evaluate qualifying new merchandise already located in the United States as well as certain opportunities scheduled to arrive.

Packaging Changes We Evaluate

Inventory may become available following:

• Package redesigns
• Brand refreshes
• Logo changes
• Label updates
• Bottle or container changes
• Case-pack changes
• Retailer-specific packaging changes
• New product graphics
• UPC transitions
• Rebranding programs
• Packaging compliance updates
• Old-to-new packaging conversions

The merchandise must remain new and unused.

What Types of Old-Packaging Inventory Do We Buy?

Big Willy’s Wholesale evaluates new consumer merchandise across categories including General Merchandise, Beauty & Personal Care, Food & Beverage, Baby, Pet, Household, Electronics, Office & School, Outdoor Gear, Toys, Apparel, Kitchen & Cookware, Disposable Food Service Supplies, PPE & Gloves, and other consumer products.

Products with expiration dates should include accurate dating information.

New Merchandise Only

Big Willy’s Wholesale purchases new merchandise only.

We do not purchase customer returns, used merchandise, open-box products, refurbished goods, or reconditioned inventory.

Previous packaging is fine to submit for consideration as long as the merchandise itself is new and accurately represented.

Sell Old Packaging Inventory by the Pallet or Truckload

Our buying team evaluates multiple pallets, full truckloads, multi-truckload opportunities, large single-SKU positions, and mixed-SKU inventories.

For larger opportunities, provide an accurate inventory spreadsheet or manifest whenever possible.

What Should You Send Our Buying Team?

For the fastest evaluation, provide the product name, UPC or SKU, quantity available, case pack, photos of the actual merchandise and packaging, warehouse location, expiration dates when applicable, asking price, and any resale restrictions.

It is particularly helpful to explain what changed between the old and current packaging.

If the product itself is unchanged, tell us that as well.

Turn Previous Packaging Into Working Capital

A packaging redesign should not mean perfectly good merchandise has to remain stuck in storage.

Selling qualifying inventory in bulk can help your business recover working capital, reduce storage costs, clear previous packaging, free warehouse space, and complete the transition to your new branding faster.

Instead of allowing old-package inventory to accumulate, give our buying team an opportunity to evaluate the position.
