It only takes a few minutes and helps build an accurate picture of how your packaging is currently performing, so any recommendations are relevant to your operation.
Packaging Review
You are the experts in your business. We’re experts in packaging. Together we can ensure your packaging is one thing you don’t need to worry about.
Changes in products, volumes, suppliers and sustainability expectations often mean packaging becomes over‑specified, inefficient, or simply no longer fit for purpose. A packaging review is a practical way to step back and identify where improvements can be made.
Our free packaging review is designed to give you clarity, confidence and control over your packaging operation, without disrupting your day-to-day work
Identify hidden costs, reduce waste and improve packing efficiency
A packaging review is a practical, hands-on review of your packing materials, equipment and processes. Once completed, it highlights where inefficiencies, waste and avoidable costs are creeping in, providing clear, workable recommendations.
Rather than making assumptions, we take the time to understand how your packaging is actually being used on site. From materials and specifications through to packing methods and handling.
Overall the aim is simple: to identify inefficiencies, reduce unnecessary cost and uncover opportunities to improve performance without compromising protection.
When is a packaging audit the right step?
Rising costs
A packaging review helps reduce costs by identifying where packaging is creating unnecessary spend across your operation, not just in material price.
It looks at areas like over-specification, inefficient packing processes, excess material use, and damage in transit, helping you streamline packaging so it uses less, performs better, and works more efficiently across your supply chain.
Excess materials used
A packaging review helps reduce excess material use by identifying where packaging is being overused or over-specified for the job.
It highlights opportunities to right-size packaging, remove unnecessary layers or void fill, and standardise formats so you only use what’s needed — reducing waste while maintaining protection.
Slow packing lines
A packaging review helps improve packing line efficiency by identifying where packaging is slowing processes down.
It highlights issues like complex pack builds, excessive materials, or inconsistent methods, and helps streamline packaging so it’s quicker, more consistent, and easier for teams to work with at scale.
Damages and returns
A packaging review helps reduce damages and returns by identifying where packaging isn’t providing the right level of protection in real transit conditions.
It looks at packaging strength, fit, and packing methods to ensure products are properly secured — helping reduce breakages, improve consistency, and protect customer experience.
What we look at in a KB Packaging Audit
A packaging review looks beyond unit price to assess how your packaging performs across your wider operation.
This can include:
- packaging materials and specifications
- operational efficiency across your packing process
- usage levels and cost drivers across packaging lines
- product protection in transit and handling
- sustainability opportunities, including waste reduction and recyclability
The focus is to build a clear picture of the true cost of packaging across your business — not just the price you pay to purchase it.
