About us

Most operational problems begin long before products reach the warehouse.

By the time damage, rework, extra pallet movements or slow-moving stock appear on the floor, the decision that caused them was taken months earlier — when a supplier was chosen, a specification signed off or an order quantity agreed.

Packmetric was built to bring evidence to those decisions. We benchmark packaging spend, supplier performance and operational cost against the real UK market, so businesses can see the consequence of a decision before they live with it.

We sell no packaging and take no commission from suppliers. The only thing we have to offer is an objective answer.

What those decisions actually affect

Supplier selection, packaging specifications and procurement terms quietly set the cost base of the whole operation.

Damage

Under- or over-specified packaging drives claims, credits and replacement orders long after the buying decision.

Freight

Carton sizes and pallet patterns decide how much air you ship and how many movements you pay for.

Working capital

Minimum order quantities and safety stock convert cash into pallets sitting in racking.

Warehouse efficiency

Void fill, tape and format ranges add handling time to every order picked and packed.

Customer satisfaction

The parcel is the part of your operation the customer actually touches — and reviews.

Procurement confidence

Without benchmarks, teams negotiate on price alone and hope the rest works out.

Who we help

Packmetric is built for businesses spending £250k or more a year on packaging.

Warehouses & 3PLs

High-volume pick and pack operations where void fill, tape and carton mix drive both cost and damage.

Manufacturers

Specification-heavy operations where board grade, pallet configuration and MOQs lock in avoidable cost.

Logistics operators

Multi-site networks needing consistent supplier performance, lead-time reliability and risk cover.

How we stay honest

Every number in a Packmetric report can be traced back to a source.

No commission, rebates or referral fees from packaging suppliers.
Benchmarks show record counts, coverage, region and confidence.
Recommendations state the assumptions behind each saving.
You keep ownership of your data — and can export or delete it.

Most warehouse problems don't start in the warehouse. They start with supplier and packaging decisions.

Packmetric helps businesses make better decisions before those problems become operational costs.
