What Is a Packaging Cost Review?

A Cost Review is the starting point to save money on your packaging operation. It’s a detailed look into your operation from start to dispatch and even further. The objective is to reduce total packaging spend while maintaining or improving performance.

At Springpack, explore both primary and secondary packaging factors, such as:

  • Materials

  • How you pack

  • Product damage rates

  • Your storage utilisation

  • Transport efficiencies

It’s an approach that doesn’t just look at your products; it looks at your process as a whole. We can identify real life opportunities to streamline, save, and improve your process.

For 50 years, Springpack have been a trusted packaging solutions provider in the UK, we are experts in combining our technical expertise within both products and packaging processes.

 

Why Does Springpack Offer a Cost Review?

We offer packaging reviews because we want to make things easier for our customers. It’s what sets us apart.

Many businesses use packaging solutions that were introduced years ago and have never been re-evaluated. Over time, changes in product design, volumes, and preferred carriers can occur. Often, packaging gets left behind.

Our packaging cost review is a proven way to help businesses of all sizes:

  • Reduce the amount of packaging they use, whilst reducing damages

  • Improve the performance of packaging operatives

  • Lower transport and logistics costs

  • Save money on bespoke packaging

  • Reduce carbon footprint

By reviewing the full packaging lifecycle, we help customers achieve meaningful packaging cost reduction rather than short-term price savings.

Who Should Book a Packaging Cost Review?

A Springpack cost review is valuable for any organisation that relies on protective packaging as part of its operation.

They’re beneficial for companies that are growing, experiencing unexpected carrier surcharges, looking to save on packaging costs, improve their customers’ experience, or would like to be more sustainable.

Whether you are an existing Springpack customer or exploring alternative suppliers, a free packaging review provides clarity and confidence in your packaging strategy.

What Are The Benefits of a Springpack Cost Review

A packaging cost review delivers both primary and secondary advantages.

The primary advantages are cost savings during packaging – this could be a lower cost per packed box, a reduced amount of void fill needed, or a reduction of pallet wrap needed per pallet.

Secondary advantages are things like more boxes available to fit on a pallet, reducing transport costs. Or, things like reduced damages by better techniques being used.

One of the most significant benefits is the identification of hidden savings opportunities. Small design adjustments, material substitutions, or pack optimisation can dramatically reduce total spend when applied across large volumes.

Sustainability improvements are another major advantage. Reduced material usage, lighter packs, and improved recyclability all contribute to lower environmental impact. Explore our approach to sustainable packaging solutions to see how cost efficiency and environmental responsibility can work together.

Cost reviews simplify your packaging and standardise processes – creating operational efficiencies that extend beyond material savings.

Where Does a Packaging Cost Review Take Place?

Springpack cost reviews often happen in your warehouse, at a time that’s convenient for you. We’ll evaluate your current packaging materials, process, breakages and any surcharges you encounter.

This flexible approach ensures minimal disruption while delivering maximum insight.

How Long Does a Packaging Cost Review Take?

The timeframe for a packaging cost review depends on the scale and complexity of your operation.

Our goal is to provide actionable insights that can be implemented quickly, with a long term strategy, enabling you to start reducing packaging costs without delay.
