Marketplace & DTC
Your channel changes the manufacturing problem.
A TikTok Shop launch and an Amazon line extension are not the same job. Case packs, label real estate, safety stock, packaging durability and reorder triggers all shift. GIH plans production around the channel you are actually selling in — speed, quality, packaging readiness, inventory control, and staying prepared when demand hits.

Common launch failures
What goes wrong — and why it is structural.
Packaging unsuitable for shipping
Solved by designing packaging against real fulfillment conditions, not a catalog image.
Labels not designed for bundles
Solved by pre-launch verification of bundle and case-pack configurations.
Late inventory arrival
Solved by production timeline coordination against your actual launch date.
Missed reorder windows
Solved by inventory monitoring and reorder triggers driven by fulfillment data.
Poor fulfillment
Solved by one-roof operations — the people who made it are the people who ship it.
Quality that kills momentum
Solved by making a product good enough that the reviews compound instead of sinking you.
A disappointing launch does not just affect initial sales. It affects brand credibility and customer lifetime value.
Why coordination is worth paying for
