Manufacturing Horror Stories, part 1 👻

The ghost costs haunting your margins 💷

This month, we’re having a little Halloween fun with the things that actually keep manufacturers up in the middle of the night…

First up: the costs that come with packing that manufacturers don’t always realise.

Because when everything is done in-house, it’s easy to count the obvious bits - labour, materials, machinery.

But what about the hidden ghost costs like:

👻 The extra space packing takes up that could be used for production.

👻 The time that your production team and managers spend trying to sort it.

👻 The electricity, insurance and servicing costs of every packing machine (not to mention the costs of the machines themselves).

👻 Overtime, agency fees, HR, training time, for taking on temporary people each time you get a surge.

👻 Wrapping, rework, supervision, logistics (and so much more).

And each hidden ghost cost affects your margins..

That’s why keeping packing in-house isn’t always as cheap as it looks on paper.

And it’s also why, on average, Excel saves manufacturers around 30% on overheads compared to doing everything themselves.

Next up in our Manufacturing Horror Stories series:

How to stop your final quarter turning into a packing nightmare 😱…

Packing support that flexes with your workload 📦

Busy month? Send more. Quiet month? Send less. No fixed packing overheads sitting there when you don’t need them 👀

That’s how Excel works.

We give manufacturers flexible packing support that scales up and down with demand, so when orders increase, we help you keep products moving.

And when workload drops, you’re not stuck carrying the same costs every month.

No extra staff. No extra space. No extra kit.

Just the packing support you need, when you need it 🤝

More orders coming in? Here’s how to stop your overheads creeping up too👇

Being busier is brilliant, but it can quickly come with extra costs.

More staff. More machinery. More space. More electricity. More servicing. More checking. More time spent managing the process.

And suddenly, the extra work doesn’t feel quite as profitable as it should 💷

That’s where Excel can help.

We give manufacturers a more flexible way to increase output without building the whole packing setup in-house.

When you’re busy, you can send more to us. When things quieten down, you can send less.

So you’re not carrying the same costs every month just because demand changed for a while 📦

The quickest way to increase capacity might not be hiring more people 👀

For a lot of manufacturers, the team is already busy enough.

So before you recruit, train, buy more kit or find more space, it’s worth looking at what your team is currently spending time on.

If they’re packing, labelling, kitting, wrapping, checking and getting products ready to move, that could be valuable time pulled away from production, dispatch or growth 📦

That’s where Excel can help.

We take those jobs off your plate, so you can increase capacity without adding more people, more equipment or more fixed monthly overheads.

And because our support can scale up and down with your workload, you can send more when you’re busy and less when things quieten down 🙌

🥳 We love a big shipment day! Here’s what is happening here…

Lots of products packed, wrapped, checked and ready to head out for customers 📦

This is the stage most manufacturers don’t always cost properly when they’re doing everything in-house.

Because once the product is made, it still needs packing, space, people, wrapping, checking, moving and getting ready to leave properly.

And that all adds up quickly.

On average, we save manufacturers around 30% compared to keeping the whole process in-house, once everything is costed properly 💷

Not sure whether that would be the case for your products?

That’s what our trial runs are for.

Send us one real job. We’ll pack it, check it and get it ready to move, so you can see how much time, space, hassle and money Excel could save you before committing to anything bigger.

Need more capacity without taking on more staff, space or kit? 👀

Send us one real packing job to trial.

We’ll pack it, check it and get it ready to move, so you can see how much time, space and money outsourcing could save you before committing to anything bigger.

It’s a simple way to answer the question most manufacturers have:

“Would this actually work for us?”

And because we typically reduce manufacturer overheads by around 30%, it’s well worth putting us to the test 💷

You’ve worked hard to win more orders. So why does growth feel like another problem? 👀👇

More products to get out can quickly mean more space, people, machinery and monthly costs before the profit has even caught up.

That’s where Excel can help ✅

We give manufacturers flexible packing support that scales up and down with workload, so when orders increase, you can send more to us. And when things settle back down, you simply send less.

❌ No building a bigger packing department in-house.
❌ No scary monthly tie-ins.
❌ No extra overheads sitting there when you don’t need them.

Just the packing support you need, when you need it, so growth feels like progress again 💪

We pack like your reputation depends on it, because it does 🙌

When you hand your products over to someone else, you need to know they’ll be handled properly.

That means no rushing, no guessing, and no treating your packing job like “just another box to get out the door”.

At Excel, it’s our team behind the process that makes the difference 👇

👀 Intake checks so we know exactly what needs doing
🧠 Hands-on people who care about getting the details right
📦 Packing completed properly and to your agreed spec
🎯 Final checks before your products are ready to move

That’s why manufacturers trust us to help them hit deadlines, protect their product quality and represent their brand properly behind the scenes.

Because once your product leaves us, it still has your name on it.

And while we’re keeping standards high, we’re also helping manufacturers save around 30% on average compared to keeping everything in-house.

What if your capacity problem, margin problem and fluctuating workload problem are all being made worse by the same thing? 👀

And that thing is your packing and here is why👇

📈 Workload varies month by month so you don’t want to commit to extra costs you could be stuck with, like more space, more staff, more machines, etc.

💷 Every “yes” to new work seems to come with another cost attached, making it unsustainable.

👷 Your production team keeps getting dragged into packing because someone has to do it.

📦 Finished stock is sitting where it shouldn’t because there’s nowhere else for it to go.

🚚 Dispatch is getting tighter, messier or more last-minute than anyone would like.

⚙️ You know growth is there, but taking it on means more overheads so you feel stuck in the same cycle.
That’s exactly why outsourcing your packing to Excel can make such a big difference, as we become the packing department you don’t have to build yourself.

You can scale up when orders increase, scale back when workload changes, and avoid being locked into extra space, extra staff, extra machinery and scary retainers you don’t always need 🙌

Plus, once you add up the true cost of keeping everything in-house, we generally save manufacturers around 30% too!

And if you’re not sure whether it would work for you? That’s what our trial runs are for.

Send us one job. We’ll pack it, check it and get it ready to move, so you can see the difference before committing to anything bigger 📦
