Specifications set your cost base years before procurement can fix it.

Board grades, film gauges, pallet patterns and MOQs are usually inherited rather than reviewed. Packmetric benchmarks each specification against the UK market and shows where you are paying for performance you don't need.

What this usually looks like

If several of these sound familiar, the cost is already showing up somewhere else in the business.

  • Specifications over-engineered for the actual transit journey
  • Material grades never reviewed since the original product launch
  • Quotes impossible to compare because terms and MOQs differ
  • Long MOQs locking working capital into packaging stock

What changes with Packmetric

Each outcome comes with the numbers behind it, the actions required and the expected saving.

Specifications matched to the real journey

We test each specification against benchmark performance data so you keep protection where it matters and stop paying for the rest.

Like-for-like supplier comparison

Every quote is normalised for freight, MOQ, payment terms and damage history, so the cheapest headline price stops winning by default.

Material optimisation with evidence

Grade, gauge and format alternatives come with expected saving, difficulty and time to value, ready for a technical sign-off.

Procurement savings that stick

Recommendations are prioritised into phases so savings are tracked, not just identified once.

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.
