Case Study: Flexible Packaging Company grows revenue 4x in two months with Instawork

Flexible packaging company grows 4x by flipping its hiring strategy

Flexible Packaging Company, a Northeast flexible packaging business, was struggling to keep up with strong customer demand because labor shortages and stiff competition from a nearby Amazon fulfillment center capped production capacity. Its Warehouse Operations Leader was spending about 5 hours a day recruiting but still couldn’t hire and retain enough workers to fill and pack pouches.

To solve this, the company partnered with Instawork and used its pre-vetted, on-demand staffing platform to quickly fill open shifts with warehouse workers, skipping the traditional interview-heavy hiring process. Instawork helped them build a roster of 20+ trained Professionals, save an estimated 25 hours per week on recruiting, convert four workers to full-time, and ultimately grow revenue 4x in two months.
