SC Packaging

SC Packaging decreases the administration drastically with MultiPress

SC Packaging is a fast-growing full-service packaging supplier with decades of experience. It is located in Pittem, in the province of West-Flanders, Belgium. How do you design packaging? Which material is best suited to the product and the customer's strategy? Is the packaging recyclable? To these technical design and production questions Steven Cuvelier's provides ready-made answers for its many national and international customers. SC Packaging is a one-stop-shop, as well as a one-man-band. But his time is precious, but that time is absorbed too much by the administration.

Pioneer in digital printing within the packaging industry

SC Packaging is a print provider for a wide range of packaging types in folding, corrugated and solid cardboard for various products: food, cosmetics, beverages, gifts and luxury goods. They also offer composite and POS packaging.

The company counts on trusted partners at home and abroad for the production of both small and large projects. Moreover, SC Packaging was one of the first companies in the packaging sector to offer offset as well as digital printing.

Sustainablility is paramount for the entire process. SC Packaging committed to green technology and is always up to date with new developments for recyclable packaging. The company itself is also a member of Go Forest, a Belgian organisation which plants trees to combat climate change and deforestation.

A pile of administration for one person

Owner Steven Cuvelier explains: "Every week I spend an entire morning doing just basic administration, which adds up to 16 hours a month. I receive about a dozen quotations a week by email and use Excel to keep track of customer lists, on-going projects and quotations. This can and must be much more structured, because the packaging is entirely project-based and customised to the customer. That requires a lot of time and effort. I work alone, so everything comes down to me. This also means that the business activities cannot be continued when I am absent for some reason. That's why I want to have one centralised system so that future employees can handle the administration.ook toekomstige werknemers de administratie kunnen uitvoeren.

Steven looked for a solution and arrived fairly quickly at Dataline. "I was aware of MultiPress from a previous work experience and knew that the software is perfectly suited for all print applications, including packaging. Moreover, MultiPress works excellently as an intermediary between my one-man-company and my many subcontractors and clients.

Time is money

The Dataline business analysis tool "MicroMAS" opened Steven's eyes. This easy-to-use online simulator allows you to calculate the current cost of your commercial administration (quotations, orders, invoices) and compare it with the profit that you make by managing your administration with MultiPress. Before the MultiPress implementation, SC Packaging spent about 16 hours a month on administration. Thanks to MultiPress that time decreases to 2 hours a month. Steven was immediately excited: "Time is literally money for me. Every hour that I save with MultiPress, I consider as an excellent investment. It frees up my schedule to find new commercial opportunities and realise my growth plans."
