Packaging Sourcing Expert - Bottle Decoration (Spray Coating/PET) - Paid 1-HR Consult
Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
Hi there! I run operations for a premium home cleaning brand launching this Winter, and I'm looking for someone who's spent real time in the packaging world; maybe you were on the distributor side (TricorBraun, Berlin, O.Berk, or similar), worked at a bottle decorator, or did sales or engineering at a blow molder. I'd love to pay you $200 for a 60-minute call, and here's the honest reason why: The main thing I need is a feasibility gut-check... Leadership wants to launch 3 collections at once (about 12 retail SKUs) and I've been tasked with making that work on a first-run budget. My plan to pull it off: run everything on just 2 stock PET bottles (a 16 oz and an 8 oz round), with 6 spray-coated custom colors (4 gloss, 2 matte) and direct printing over the coating, so we face a handful of MOQs instead of twelve. We're targeting roughly 1,000–1,500 units per color, under 10K bottles total. I need someone who's seen this movie before to tell me straight: is launching this many SKUs at these volumes actually feasible, or am I about to learn an expensive lesson? What breaks first? Pricing, lead times, quality, something I haven't thought of? (Things like coating adhesion on PET, or chemical resistance with cleaning formulas) Second, if the plan does hold up. I need to know who can actually do it. A short list of 5–10 US decorators, coaters, or distributors you'd trust at these low quantities (with contacts if you have them) would be the perfect follow-up to the call.
