Document Security Systems, Rochester, NY, announced a new $9-million packaging contract with an undisclosed CPG company.

The contract expands on an existing customer relationship and runs through August 2015. Packaging will be done at DSS Printing Group facilities in Rochester, and the DSS Packaging Group located in Victor, NY. It’s the company’s largest contract to date and helps “demonstrate our ability to service large orders from the most demanding and recognized brands worldwide," according to CEO Patrick White.

The new-business win closely follows DSS’ hiring Gary Andrechak, as manager of RFID business development following his stint as a RFID product manager for Hitachi for serialization and item-level tracking systems.

DSS is both a contract packager and a developer and integrator of RFID and data security systems for counterfeit prevention, product diversion and brand protection.

Driving Consumer-Centric Packaging Innovation

Packaging is a critical asset that plays a major role in the success of a product. CP/CMs need to be proactive in understanding consumer preferences to advise their CPG customers on innovation.

“Supply chain at its root is really people to people. Data is a facilitator, but collaboration is key.”

The Key to a Successful Digital Supply Chain Transformation? People

As CPGs outsource a greater percentage of their operations, end-to-end supply chain visibility is becoming increasingly more vital for all parties. Ensuring a shared vision and desire for collaboration is essential in achieving this transformation.
