Give Procurement Full Visibility into Packaging and Freight Costs
Pakera helps procurement teams reduce packaging costs, calculate freight costs, compare packaging concepts economically, and standardize containers across suppliers, plants, and recurring material flows. From chargeable weight to packaging cost per part, Pakera gives purchasing teams the data they need to negotiate, decide, and standardize with confidence.
Improved cost visibility in procurement with Pakera
up to 34 %
potential reduction in packaging material costs by identifying oversized packaging, unnecessary protection material, and inefficient container choices before procurement decisions are finalized.
up to 54 %
potential reduction in packaging variants by consolidating recurring container and material standards across suppliers, plants, and product groups.

to simulate and compare packaging scenarios by utilization, gross weight, chargeable weight, transport volume, void space, packaging material and cost impact.
Procurement teams are often asked to reduce packaging costs, but the real cost drivers are rarely visible early enough. A cheaper box may increase freight costs. A heavier container may improve protection but reduce transport efficiency. A custom packaging solution may solve one problem while creating new complexity in purchasing, warehousing, and supplier management. Pakera makes these trade-offs visible before purchasing decisions are made.
Packaging variety creates hidden costs. Every additional container type, special material, supplier-specific format, or non-standard packaging solution increases purchasing effort, inventory complexity, approval work, and operational friction. Pakera helps procurement teams move from scattered packaging decisions to standardized container and packaging logic that can be reused across products, suppliers, and sites.
Freight costs are often determined long before shipping starts. Container size, packaging dimensions, gross weight, volumetric weight and chargeable weight can turn a low-cost packaging option into an expensive total solution. Pakera helps procurement teams see this impact early, so packaging and supplier decisions are based on real freight cost drivers, not just material prices.
Trusted by leading industrial companies
Know the true cost of every packaging option.
Procurement teams often compare packaging by material price, while hidden cost drivers remain unclear. Pakera helps calculate packaging cost per part and compare packaging concepts by container choice, material use, utilization, and recurring cost impact before a solution becomes a purchasing standard.
Calculate packaging cost per part based on container, material, quantity, and utilization.
Compare packaging concepts economically instead of relying on supplier assumptions or spreadsheets.
Reduce packaging material costs by detecting oversized, underutilized, or over-engineered solutions.
Beyond palletization, cartonization, packaging optimization, Pakera adds cost transparency, freight calculation, container standardization, and approval workflows to help procurement turn packaging decisions into measurable purchasing impact.
Designed to remove every barrier to adoption
We understand what holds industrial teams back. That’s why Pakera was built from day one to address the concerns that matter most.
Enterprise-Grade Security for Industrial Data
Your CAD data and packaging specifications are protected with industry-leading security standards.
