From the First Inquiry to the Invoice, in One System
Quoting, customers, design approval, production and the money that follows them, on one record, priced in minutes and traceable end to end. Built by people who ran a packaging business first.
The Part Nobody Built Software For
Your Quotes Live in Spreadsheets. So Does Your Margin.
A customer asks for mailer boxes in a new size: 500 for a product launch, or 50,000 for the season. Someone opens last quarter’s spreadsheet, changes the dimensions, guesses at the nesting, forgets the waste at glueing, and sends it three days later. Sometimes you win the order. Sometimes you win it at the wrong price. Either way, nobody can reconstruct how the number was reached.
We know this because we ran it. Packative One replaces that spreadsheet with pricing rules your estimators write once, rules that hold whether the run is 500 pieces or 50,000, an audit trail on every quote, and a customer record that remembers what you quoted the last four times.

Pricing Engine
Priced Like Your Best Estimator, Every Time
Packaging CPQ is how your pricing logic gets written down: simple steps over cost tables by material, GSM, flute, and sheet size, versioned per product line, so your corrugated pricing and your rigid-box pricing never mix.

Generate a parametric dieline with Packative CAD, or import your DXF.
- Step 02
Nest It on Your Sheet
A nesting engine solves imposition in your browser, across your standard parent-sheet catalogs.

Apply Your Pricing Logic
Your pricing rules encode material, print, finishing, and margin, including the loss cascade back through glueing, diecut, printing, and material.

Who It Is For
Built for the Way Packaging Companies Sell
Out of the Box, or Built Around You
Think of Us as the Tech Team You Never Had to Hire
Packaging companies rarely carry a tech team in house, so the software either fits on day one or slowly stops being used. With us you have one, not for a project, but standing: we keep your operation moving with the technology that actually matters, AI included, so it is not another thing you have to track.
That is a different arrangement from the usual outsourced implementation. A one-off SAP, Salesforce, or NetSuite project ends at go-live, and it starts from a platform built for everyone rather than for packaging, which is why the spec forms, the cost model, and the approval chain end up bent around the software instead of the other way round.
We run a packaging business ourselves, and we came from enterprise ERP, content, and CRM implementations before that. The combination is the point: engineers who know both sides are genuinely hard to hire, and you do not have to.
Path One
Take It Out of the Box
Configure it yourself: pricing rules, spec forms, statuses, approval thresholds, without writing code or waiting on us.
Path Two
Have Us Build Around You
Your processes modelled properly: bespoke cost logic, the integrations your systems need, the connectors nobody else will write, and someone still there the year after, keeping it current.
In Production
The Case Studies We Tell First
Our favorites, at two scales: an enterprise trading for most of a century, and ourselves. No invented logos, no borrowed quotes, no invented metrics.

Four hundred to five hundred employees across four factories, with calculation rebuilt as auditable pricing rules, profit visible per quote, and a legacy in-house system replaced module by module without stopping sales.

Our Own Packaging Business
We Ran a Packaging Business First
A packaging business run on spreadsheets, chat threads, and willpower, until it couldn’t be. Packative One is the tool we built for ourselves first, and it still runs our operation every day.
Common Questions
Questions You Are Probably Asking
The questions packaging teams ask before they book a demo, answered straight.
It prices whatever you price today. Your pricing configuration is yours to build, step by step, with your own cost tables and margin rules, so there is no list of supported products to fit into.
