Reduce packaging costs: cardboard, films and pallets
We review specifications, bundle volumes and negotiate your packaging contracts – without compromising the protective function.
Why packaging is more expensive than necessary
- Specifications are over-dimensioned: material thicknesses, formats, special colours.
- Prices follow paper and film indices without the basis being checked.
- Many items, many suppliers, small lot sizes.
- Packaging volume and weight also drive up freight costs.
- Licence fees under packaging law are not optimised.
What we optimise in packaging
- Cardboard and corrugated board: qualities, formats, printing
- Films, adhesive tape and strapping
- Pallets and load carriers: purchase, pool, exchange
- Labels and shipping material
- Licence fees and volume reporting under packaging law
Five levers for lower packaging costs
Adapt specifications to the stress load
Packaging must protect the product – no more and no less.
Standardise items and formats
Fewer variants mean larger lots and better prices.
Review and cap index clauses
Paper and film indices are regulated transparently instead of being passed on as a flat rate.
Bundle volumes and plan call-offs
Framework contracts with call-offs instead of many individual orders.
Think packaging and freight together
Less volume and weight simultaneously reduce freight costs.

Does packaging quality suffer?
No. We only reduce where material goes beyond the necessary protective function.

What does the packaging check cost?
Nothing. Savify works 100 % success-based: we receive a share of the savings realised. If there are no savings, there are no costs for you.
