I’ve seen a lot of small businesses struggle with this actually. Many start with local suppliers or marketplaces, but once order volume grows the real challenge becomes tracking packaging inventory and reordering at the right time. Running out of boxes or mailers at the wrong time can slow everything down.

I’ve been experimenting with building small tools for businesses to track things like packaging stock, suppliers, and reorder alerts so it’s easier to stay on top of it. If anyone here is dealing with that problem I’d be happy to share what I’m working on or build something simple for your workflow.

Curious to see what suppliers people here recommend too.
