The Hidden Cost of Minimum Order Requirements

Here’s a truth nobody talks about: traditional packaging suppliers are drowning in inventory costs, so they pass them to you via massive minimum order requirements.

Result? You’re forced to:

❌ Tie up cash in excess inventory
❌ Can’t test new designs without huge investment
❌ Locked into old designs longer than you’d like
What if you didn’t have to choose between cash flow and innovation?
At Digital Joint, we eliminate minimum order requirements.

This means you can:
✓ Test new designs with smaller runs
✓ Scale as demand grows
✓ Stay agile in fast-moving markets
✓ Keep cash for actual business growth

For CPG and food brands especially, this changes everything.
