Packaging Consultancy for bespoke packaging & operational efficiencies
Can't find what you want or unsure what you need? We offer hands-on consultancy services to help bespoke projects for specific challenges, or operational efficiencies for larger packing operations — from material, design or system change to cost reduction and sustainability.
How we help
Typically, materials are only 20% of the actual cost of packaging. We'll help you reduce material costs but also the larger costs in the other 80% such as in storage, labour, freight and damages & returns. And subsequently the environment and your company reputation. We'll visit your site, understand your operation, and work with you to find practical improvements. Some might be obvious, and others may surpise you. We've helped businesses across e-commerce, retail, logistics and industrial sectors reduce packaging costs, improve sustainability credentials and streamline packing workflows.
Benchmarking
We assess your current packaging against best practice and competitor standards. Where are you overspending? Where are you under-protecting? Where could a material, design or system change save money and improve quality?
Material Change
Moving from one packaging material to another — whether for cost, sustainability or performance reasons — needs careful planning. We manage the transition to ensure protection quality is maintained while costs come down.
Sustainability & Carbon Reporting
We help you measure, report and improve the environmental impact of your packaging. From carbon footprint calculations to waste reduction targets, we provide the data and the roadmap.
Pack Value Analysis
We analyse the key aspects of your current packs versus our proposed packs, including size & weight; time to pack; level of protection; and opening experience. The goal is optimal protection at minimum cost and maximum customer satisfaction.
Time & Motion Studies
How long does each packer spend per order? Where are the bottlenecks? We observe your packing line, pack designs, measure their performance and recommend changes that increase throughput without increasing headcount.
Staff Training
New materials and equipment work best when your team uses them optimally. We provide hands-on training on packing techniques, machine operation and quality standards.
Supplier Management
If you're using multiple packaging suppliers, we can help rationalise and consolidate — reducing complexity, improving buying power and simplifying your supply chain.
Custom Packaging Design
For businesses that need bespoke boxes, branded tape or custom-sized packaging, we handle design, sourcing and production management.
Automation
For high-volume operations, we assess where automation can replace manual processes — from automatic tape dispensers to integrated air cushion systems — and manage the implementation.
How it works
It starts with a conversation. Tell us about your packaging challenges, your volumes, your goals and your pain points. We'll visit your site to see the operation firsthand, identify opportunities for improvement, suggest a scope of work and offer a road map. In summary we provide recommendations, help implement changes, and measure the results. No jargon, no overblown proposals — just practical help from people who know packaging inside out.
How we help
Your operation and business has many parts and we're happy to go as deep as you like to understand the overall impact of new materials, designs and systems. Whether you have a clear objective like a new product needing packaging, or open to see what we can do to save you money, we'll follow your lead when asked, and volunteer new ideas when appropriate.
