Packaging swaps freeze ship windows
Packaging changeover days × demand $ / day is stranded $. Bottle, carton, or label swaps idle the line. Type both.
Pair: Packaging changeover on Stock. MOQ: MOQ cash gap. Release: lot release vs ads.
What you type
Packaging days — written days the line is down for packaging / label swap (schedule).
Demand $ / day — sell-through $ you would have shipped each day (typed).
Stranded $ = packaging days × demand $ / day. Stage artwork earlier when that $ is material — do not invent a downtime chip.
What not to do
Do not invent stranded $. Do not fold microbial quarantine into packaging days. Do not treat allergen washdowns as carton swaps without splitting. Do not count changeover WIP as sellable cover.
