Your Pricing Logic, Written Down Once
Packaging quoting software that turns a spec into a defensible price: packaging CPQ holds your estimators' judgment as versioned, auditable steps, with the sheet math, waste modelling, and nesting a packaging quote actually needs.
Your Pricing, Written Down Once
The steps your best estimator runs, covering material, printing, waste and margin, written down once as a configuration. From then on every quote follows the same recipe.
- Built from simple steps: costs, surcharges, quantity breaks, margin
- One configuration per product family, so corrugated and rigid-box logic never collide
- Versioned as draft, active or archived, so a change never surprises you
Nesting That Finds the Cheapest Sheet
Give it a dieline, whether your DXF, an EngView template, or one from Packative CAD, and it solves the imposition in seconds, then ranks every sheet and layout candidate by what each would actually cost.
- Fit count, minimum-sheet, and multi-component nesting
- Rotation strategies, with cut-ready DXF returned
- Every candidate ranked, each with a cost trace

Dielines That Drive Production
Every quote starts from a real dieline. Type the dimensions and Packative CAD returns an engineering-accurate blank. The drawing you quote on is the one your diecutter runs.
- Packative CAD: parametric template system, the standard provider
- EngView integration: enterprise, production-ready tooling
- Or import your own DXF directly
And Around the Price
Everything a Quote Carries With It
The number is the start, not the whole job. These are the pieces that turn a calculation into a quotation your team can send, explain, and change.
Your pricing logic changes without waiting on us. A no-code editor with cost tables, formula and condition builders, and a live result panel, so the people who own pricing change it themselves, and a new material or surcharge never becomes an engineering ticket.
Every change to steps, formulas, rates, and approval rules is logged, recording who changed it, from what to what, in which draft, and retained for seven years. Together with the step-by-step trail on every pricing run, any number on any quotation can be traced back to the logic that produced it.
Thresholds that route a quotation for approval before it can be sent: margin below target, discount above tier, a manually overridden rate. Rules evaluate top to bottom, approvers work a pending queue with waiting times visible, and reminders and escalation run on their own clock.
The rates your pricing steps reference, from press rates to board prices to finishing, live on dated, owned rate cards. Schedule a card for a future effective date and see which pricing rules and open quotations it touches before it lands. Quotations sent before the effective date keep their locked rates.
Common Questions
