Before the Box
For example, one KAMA customer on the east coast of the United States recently received an order for approximately 50 million boxes. While that may seem tailor-made for a long run, the job required some 2,000 different SKUs. And because the total order was to be delivered throughout the year, the run length dipped to about 2,000 cartons per SKU per month.
