You buy paper, board and ink upfront on a big run, then wait 30 to 60 days to be paid. Invoice finance releases the cash the moment you invoice, so the next job starts on time.
The specifics that make or break a facility in this sector.
Paper and board prices move fast and print margins are tight. Getting cash out against invoices the day they are raised protects working capital when input costs jump mid-contract.
Retail and festive packaging, plus Christmas print runs, create demand spikes where you buy materials months before payment lands. A flexible facility scales up for the peak and back down after.
Lenders usually fund once goods are delivered and signed for, so clean proof of delivery on long production runs keeps advances moving without disputes.
Reprints and quality claims cause dilution, and one large brand or retail customer can dominate the ledger. Specialist lenders price for both rather than pulling the line.
Move the slider to your typical invoice value to see what would hit your account and what it would cost.
We benchmark your facility across a panel of specialist invoice finance and revolving credit lenders, and match you with the ones whose appetite fits print & packaging. You get whole-of-market access from one conversation, at no cost to you.

Invoice finance releases cash against sales invoices you have already raised. To fund the material purchase before you invoice, a trade or stock finance line can sit alongside it and repay as the invoice funds.
