Plastics & Packaging Factory System
Plastic packaging factories with injection machines and orders printed with customer branding.
From customer order to mold, production, printing, quality, and delivery — with a clear account for each customer's custom molds.
No credit card required — your project is set up with the full system in under a minute
This is the system board as you'll receive it: workflow columns and starter cards showing the first steps
How does work flow in this system?
Every order enters as a card in “Order” with container type, size, color, quantity, and delivery date. It moves to “Mold/Design”, where technicians prepare the custom mold for a new product or approve the printed design with the customer before any production, then to “Production” to run the injection machines at the required quantity, documenting the startup scrap rate.
After production the containers move to “Printing” to apply the customer's approved branding and colors, then “Quality” to check dimensions, thickness, and print fastness on samples from each batch, then “Delivery” with documented quantities and proof of receipt, and “Invoicing” to close the account — including the mold cost if charged to the customer.
Chat runs between sales and technicians: a design change from a customer, an injection machine fault delaying an order, a color resin out of stock needing an approved substitute. Dues records the cost of each customer's custom molds and what is billed from them, purchases of granules and inks, customer payments, and technician wages — making it clear which orders are profitable and which consume machine time and molds without adequate return.
Who does what?
The operational roles in this system and each role's responsibility in daily work — assign them to your team as-is or adapt them to your reality.
Factory Manager
Approves orders, pricing, and the mold-charging policy, and reviews “Quality” and scrap rates across batches.
Machine Technicians
Prepare molds and run the injection and printing machines, and update cards with produced and scrapped quantities.
Design Officer
Approves printed branding with customers in “Mold/Design”, and matches colors before print runs.
Accountant
Issues invoices at “Invoicing”, and records mold and material costs and customer payments in Dues.
