For packaging distributors
You sit between the mill and the brand. Otopack runs the middle.
Distributors source from converters and mills, hold stock for brands and deliver on call-off. Otopack runs the quoting, supplier RFQs, stockholding and dispatch around your ERP, so your team stops chasing both sides.
Sound familiar?
Where a distributor’s day goes.
- QUOTES
Quotes wait on supplier prices
Every quote needs a fresh price from a converter, so the brand waits while your team chases.
- SUPPLY
Supplier details scattered
Certificates, lead times and MOQs live in emails and old spreadsheets.
- STOCK
Stock held for brands
Brands call off by email and ring to ask how much stock is left.
- DELIVERY
Deliveries you do not control
Your 3PL or carrier holds the booking, and the brand asks you for tracking.

Straight answer
Otopack is not for you if...
We built Otopack for packaging businesses with real volume and real artwork risk. Here is who we turn away.
You want to replace your ERP.
Otopack works on top of Dynamics and CartonCloud. If you are shopping for a new ERP, we are the wrong call.
You sell plain stock boxes with no printed artwork.
Most of what Otopack does is proofing, compliance checks and repeat SKUs. Without artwork there is little for it to run.
You want nobody to check artwork.
Otopack prepares and checks every proof. A named person on your team or the brand always signs off.
You run a handful of jobs a month from one inbox.
If one person can hold every order in their head, keep doing that. Come back when they cannot.
Questions
What packaging teams ask us.
Do we need our own warehouse?
No. Otopack works with stock held at your warehouse or your 3PL.
Can it handle several converters for one brand?
Yes. Each RFQ goes to every converter approved for that pack type, and the replies are compared side by side.
Does it work the same way for every business?
No. We set it up around your process, your systems and your approval rules. What you see here is a typical setup.
Bring one real order. Watch it run.
Pick a quote, a proof round or a call-off from this week. We will walk it through Otopack on top of your own systems, so you see exactly where the hours go.
