Have you ever felt like inventory is always one step ahead of you—or one step behind? Too much stock after the season ends, or not enough when customers are finally ready to buy? At DINGLI PACK, this is something we hear all the time. We are a packaging manufacturing and printing factory, and we work directly with small brands, shop owners, and startups across food, fishing, coffee, and supplements.
Many customers start with products like recyclable custom bait bags with resealable closure and clear window . They sell very well in the right season—but only when inventory is planned properly. Let’s talk about seasonal inventory in a simple, practical way. No big words. No complicated systems. Just what actually works.
1. Stop Guessing and Look at What You Already Sold
A lot of people think inventory forecasting is difficult. Honestly, it doesn’t have to be.
Start with one simple thing: look at last year. Ask yourself:
What sold fast?
What sold slowly?
What stayed in storage too long?
Write it down. An Excel file is enough. Even notes on paper work.
Season matters more than most people realize. If you sell fishing products, demand usually follows the weather. That’s why many brands use custom print fish lure bags only during certain months. Planning early helps you avoid rush orders and high costs.
2. Different Products Have Different Seasons
Not every product sells the same way all year.
Coffee is a good example. Sales often increase when the weather gets colder. That’s why many brands prepare custom print coffee packaging bags before the season starts, not after.
Snacks and cookies are another case. Brands using cookie snack packaging often see strong sales during holidays, promotions, and family events.
Once you understand when your product sells, inventory planning becomes much easier.
3. Don’t Store Seasonal Products Like Year-Round Products
This is a very common mistake.
Seasonal products should be handled differently:
Keep more stock only during busy months
Reduce storage when sales slow down
Make products easy to pack and ship
This is especially important for powders and food products. Brands using custom printed protein powder packaging bags often see demand change quickly with trends and promotions.
4. Separate “Main Products” from “Extra Products”
Here’s a simple rule we often share with customers.
Main products:
- Bring most of your revenue
- Always need safety stock
- Should be planned early
Extra products:
- Sell slowly or only sometimes
- Keep small quantities
- Produce only when needed
For bulk food items, storage time and moisture protection really matter. Products like bulk resealable pouches help protect quality even if inventory stays longer.
5. Clear Old Stock Without Hurting Your Brand
Leftover stock after a season is normal. It happens to everyone.
Instead of cutting prices too much, try:
Bundling slow products with popular ones
Creating seasonal or gift sets
Offering free shipping for larger orders
Giving special deals to repeat customers
This helps move inventory while keeping your brand strong.
6. Use the Slow Season to Prepare for the Next One
Slow months are not wasted time. They are actually the best time to improve.
Update packaging design
Test new materials
Fix supply chain problems
Plan earlier for the next season
At DINGLI PACK, many brands redesign packaging during the off-season so everything is ready when sales come back.
