Packaging Consulting that Cuts Cost, Damage & Pack Time.

If your packaging is causing returns, slow pack-out, or high material cost, DE519N delivers a practical audit + action plan you can implement fast—without guessing.

  • ✓ Damage reduction (drops, vibration, compression)
  • ✓ Cost optimization (material + labor + freight)
  • ✓ Faster pack-out (fewer parts, repeatable process)
  • ✓ Retail & ship-ready compliance (including POP/PDQ)

Typical starting point: a 20–30 min discovery call, then a scoped audit plan.

Packaging Consulting Snapshot

What you get
1) Audit Findings
What’s failing and why (damage modes, workflow bottlenecks, spec gaps).
2) Recommendations
Structural changes, materials, pack-out improvements, retail compliance fixes.
3) Implementation Plan
Prioritized steps, quick wins, and support through prototype + production files.
Need it hands-on? We can support prototyping and production-ready dielines after the audit.

Packaging Audit & Consulting

A structured review of your packaging system—product, materials, pack-out, shipping environment, and retailer constraints.

Request Pricing & Scope →
Damage Reduction

Identify failure points (drops, vibration, compression) and correct with structural + pack-out fixes.

Ideal for: fragile items, returns, claims, breakage.

Cost Optimization

Reduce material, labor, and freight by right-sizing, simplifying parts, and improving cube/palletization.

Ideal for: high volumes, margin pressure, freight spikes.

Retail & Compliance

Align packaging & displays with retailer requirements for shelf-ready, PDQ, and POP execution.

Ideal for: new listings, line reviews, retail rollouts.

Outcomes You Can Expect

Deliverables designed to be actionable for ops, procurement, marketing, and suppliers.

Clear Findings + Priorities

  • What to fix first (quick wins vs. deeper changes)
  • Root-cause analysis for damage and inefficiency
  • Material + spec gaps and supplier handoff issues

Implementation Path

  • Recommended structure changes (shipper, insert, closure)
  • Pack-out workflow improvements to speed fulfillment
  • Prototype plan + production file readiness (if needed)
Best for

FAQ

Common questions about packaging consulting and audits.

What is included in a packaging audit?

We review your current pack-out, materials/specs, damage modes, shipping environment, costs, and retailer constraints. You get prioritized recommendations + an implementation plan.

Can you help reduce shipping damage and returns?

Yes—by identifying failure points and correcting structure, inserts, void management, closures, and workflow.

Do you provide prototypes and production files?

Yes. If you want hands-on validation, we can prototype and deliver production-ready dielines/files after the audit.

Do you work with corrugated, cartons, and POP displays?

Yes—corrugated shippers, folding cartons, inserts, PDQs and POP displays, plus retail guideline awareness.
