TOTAL PACKAGING COST AUDIT
Know What Your Packaging Actually Costs.
The price of the box is not the full cost of packaging.
The Packaging Cost Audit System helps your team measure materials, freight, labor, damage, storage, waste, and complexity across up to 50 products or packaging configurations.
Use it to establish a current baseline, compare proposed changes, and identify the areas worth investigating first.
Calculate the true cost of packaging across materials, freight, labor, damage, storage, waste, and operational complexity for up to 50 products or package configurations.
Best for:
Teams that know packaging costs are increasing but do not know where the money is going.
This Product Is for You If
Packaging spend is increasing but the cause is unclear.
Your company evaluates packaging only by component price.
Freight, labor, damage, and storage data are not being reviewed together.
You have too many packaging sizes or components.
You need to know which products should be reviewed first.
Leadership needs a financial summary before approving a project.
What the Audit Measures
Material Cost
Boxes, mailers, inserts, bags, labels, tape, void fill, cushioning, and other consumables.
Freight Impact
Actual weight, dimensional weight, billable weight, package cube, and current freight cost.
Packing Labor
Time required to assemble, load, close, label, inspect, and rework each package.
Damage Cost
Replacement product, replacement packaging, reshipping, refunds, service time, and other failure costs.
Storage and Complexity
Packaging inventory, warehouse space, minimum order quantities, obsolete materials, stockouts, and packaging SKU count.

What This Product Does Not Do
The audit does not select an exact box, approve a packaging specification, certify product protection, or replace testing.
It helps you identify and quantify the problem before committing to a design change.
Stop Managing Packaging With Only a Box Price.
