As businesses change and grow, so does the complexity of managing packaging. What once involved a handful of products, a few artwork files, and the occasional label order can quickly become a much larger operation. New SKUs are introduced, product lines expand, retailer requirements change, and before long, packaging becomes about much more than ordering labels. Marketing reviews artwork, purchasing plans inventory, operations coordinates production, and quality teams make sure everyone is working from the latest approved files. Keeping everything organized becomes just as important as producing high-quality labels.
The truth is, the labels themselves haven’t become more complicated, but the process around them certainly has. That’s exactly why Lorpon developed LorponPro.
When the Old Way Stops Working
Most businesses don’t intentionally create a complicated packaging process. It happens over time.
Emails that once contained a few artwork files turn into long conversations with multiple revisions. Shared folders become crowded as more products are added. Different versions of the same file are saved in different locations and names, making it hard to know which one is the most current.
It’s not uncommon for someone to ask:
- “Which version of the artwork was approved?”
- “Do we have enough labels for the next production run?”
- “Can we reorder the same label as last time?”
- “Has this order started production yet?”
These are all reasonable questions, but when the answers live in different emails, spreadsheets, or folders, finding them can take longer than it should. Those small interruptions may only take a few minutes at a time, but they add up quickly when you’re managing dozens of products across multiple departments.
One Place to Manage Your Packaging Program
LorponPro was built to help customers stay organized as their packaging programs change.
Rather than relying on multiple emails, spreadsheets, and shared folders, LorponPro gives customers one secure online portal to manage the day-to-day activities that support their packaging process.
Whether you’re reviewing artwork before approving a proof, checking inventory ahead of another production run, placing a repeat order, looking back at a previous job, or reviewing pricing, the information is available in one place. Instead of wondering what the cost per label is, or who has the latest file or waiting for someone to send an update, your team can quickly find what they need and keep projects moving.
It’s a simple change that can make a meaningful difference, especially as product lines continue to grow and more people become involved in the process.
Better Information Creates Better Conversations
One of the biggest advantages of LorponPro isn’t that it replaces conversations. It improves them.
Routine questions about artwork, inventory, or order status can often be answered through the portal, giving you quick access to the information you need whenever you need it and visibility to the entire team. That means fewer interruptions throughout the day and less time spent searching for updates.
As Jeff Sommer, Vice President of Business Development at Lorpon Labels, recently shared during his conversation with Amtech Software, LorponPro has helped reduce many of the routine customer service calls that were once needed to answer everyday questions. Customers can quickly find the information they’re looking for, allowing conversations with the Lorpon team to focus on bigger picture discussions like new product launches, packaging improvements, production planning, and future opportunities.
That’s where the real value comes from. Lorpon’s team can focus on helping customers solve packaging challenges and continue growing their business.
Managing Packaging With Confidence
Packaging isn’t just about producing labels anymore. It’s about managing the information, collaboration, and planning that keep products moving to market. As businesses continue to grow, staying organized becomes just as important as delivering high-quality packaging.
LorponPro was developed to support that process by giving customers one place to manage the day-to-day activities that keep their packaging programs running smoothly. By making information easier to access and helping teams stay aligned, it allows businesses to spend less time searching for answers and more time focusing on their customers, their products, and what’s coming next.
Because packaging isn’t getting any simpler. Managing it should.
