Cornish eco-friendly paper packaging company Flexi-Hex have found an innovative and engaging trail to trade with Europe in the last two years.
They operate a fiscal representation solution that gives them the look and feel of being a European company without actually being one. This means their brand messaging is loud and clear to EU clients – that paper can be stronger than plastic and that the switch to plastic-free packaging is easy and helps save the planet!
In turn this then helps the speed and efficiency of fulfilling orders via a single API connection to monitor and manage their stocks in Europe and the UK via their GS1 barcoding system. As the European warehouse can then receive containers of stock from their suppliers, eliminating the need to send stock from their UK warehouse.
This is also part of a growing supply-chain trail where many of the packaging distributors they work with in the UK also have companies set up in Europe making it even easier for more efficient traction in EU warehousing and delivery.
