Call-off agreements
An agreed volume manufactured and held, drawn down in the quantities you actually use, against agreed pricing.
How it worksCapability
Stock holding and call-off supply.
Packaging held near your operation and released as you need it. Call-off arrangements, warehousing, fulfilment and on-site packing, coordinated by RightBox across the partner network so production is never waiting on boxes.
What it includes
What this covers.
Each part solves a different problem. Most programmes use several of them together.
Warehousing & storage
Stock held at partner sites rather than filling your own racking, which matters most with large formats.
Heavy-duty formatsScheduled deliveries
Delivery timed to your production or fulfilment schedule, from full loads to multi-drop routes.
Global supplyPeak & seasonal cover
Forecast-led stock built ahead of peaks, so promotional and seasonal volume does not cause a shortage.
Retail & e-commerceMulti-site replenishment
One programme covering several sites, each released on its own schedule.
Third-party logisticsFulfilment & on-site packing
Where it makes sense, packing and fulfilment handled at the partner site instead of yours.
Discuss fulfilmentDetail
What call-off supply fixes.
Minimum order quantities
Economic production runs are often far larger than a single delivery you want to take. Call-off separates the two.
Warehouse space
Corrugated is bulky and light. Large formats in particular consume racking that could hold product.
Cash flow
Paying for a year of boxes up front ties up money. Drawing stock down spreads the cost across the period.
Lead time risk
Agreed stock levels mean a production change or a demand spike does not leave you waiting on a manufacturing slot.
Price stability
Volume agreed over a period supports steadier pricing than buying run by run.
Obsolescence
Where artwork or specifications change often, stock levels are set to limit what can be stranded.
How it works
How a call-off programme is set up.
- Volume and usage pattern agreed per specification, not per order
- Stock levels and reorder points set against your production schedule
- Storage arranged at the partner site making the packaging
- Delivery scheduled to your sites, as full loads or multi-drop
- Stock positions and drawdown visible through BoxPilot
- Levels reviewed as demand changes, so stock does not quietly build up
Questions
Common questions.
What is a call-off order?
An agreement where a volume is manufactured and held, then released in smaller quantities as you need it. You get run-size pricing without taking run-size delivery or paying for it all at once.
Who holds the stock?
Normally the partner manufacturing site, which keeps bulky packaging out of your racking. Where you would rather hold it, that works too.
How long is stock held?
It depends on the programme and the specification. Levels and review points are agreed at the start so stock does not sit indefinitely.
Does this work across multiple sites?
Yes. One agreement can cover several sites, each drawing down on its own schedule, with central reporting across all of them.
What happens if our artwork changes?
Stock levels are set with that risk in mind. Where artwork changes often, we hold less and produce more frequently, or hold plain stock and print closer to use.
