Solutions

Commercial outcomes from your packaging spend.

RightBox’s solutions are built around what procurement, operations and finance need to achieve, not around a catalogue of box types. Most engagements combine several.

Solution

Strategic Packaging Procurement

We treat corrugated as a managed category rather than a recurring purchase order, with a defined sourcing strategy, clear commercial terms and governance that procurement can stand behind.

→ Outcome: Controlled, accountable spend

What it involves

Category strategy and sourcing plan
Supplier market assessment
Commercial frameworks and pricing mechanisms
Contract and governance structure

Typically suited to

Procurement teams without dedicated packaging expertise
Organisations preparing a packaging tender or re-tender

Solution

Corrugated Supply

RightBox coordinates dependable supply of corrugated packaging matched to your forecast, stock policy and delivery requirements, so production and fulfilment are never waiting on boxes.

→ Outcome: Continuity of supply

What it involves

Single, double and triple-wall constructions
Stock-holding and call-off arrangements
Forecast-led replenishment
Delivery scheduling to site requirements

Typically suited to

High-throughput production and fulfilment
Businesses with seasonal or promotional peaks

Solution

Packaging Cost Optimisation

Unit price is only part of the picture. We examine the full cost of packaging: board grade, dimensions, pallet configuration, freight, storage, handling and damage, to find value that doesn't compromise performance.

→ Outcome: Lower total cost

What it involves

Board grade and construction review
Pallet and vehicle fill analysis
Damage and returns cost review
Price benchmarking and indexation

Typically suited to

Finance and procurement teams under cost pressure
Organisations facing rising paper and freight costs

Solution

Bespoke Packaging Development

Where standard sizes don't fit the product or the process, we develop bespoke corrugated specifications, designed around protection, packing-line performance and efficient distribution.

→ Outcome: Fit-for-purpose specification

What it involves

Structural design and sampling
Trials on packing lines
Retail-ready and display formats
Print and branding specifications

Typically suited to

New product introductions
Automated or high-speed packing lines

Solution

Multi-Site Supply

Multi-site organisations often buy packaging differently at every location. We bring those sites into one coordinated programme, consistent specifications and pricing, with delivery that still works locally.

→ Outcome: Consistency across sites

What it involves

Site-by-site requirement mapping
Harmonised specifications and pricing
Central reporting across locations
Local delivery and stock arrangements

Typically suited to

National manufacturers and distributors
Groups that have grown through acquisition

Solution

Supply Chain Consolidation

A long tail of packaging suppliers adds administrative cost and risk. We rationalise the supply base while protecting resilience, giving you fewer relationships to manage and clearer accountability.

→ Outcome: Reduced supplier complexity

What it involves

Supplier base analysis
Consolidation and transition planning
Supplier performance frameworks
Continuity and contingency arrangements

Typically suited to

Organisations with fragmented packaging suppliers
Procurement teams reducing tail spend

Solution

Sustainability & Material Optimisation

We help reduce the material in your packaging without increasing risk, and provide the data sustainability and ESG teams need for reporting and Extended Producer Responsibility obligations.

→ Outcome: Less material, better data

What it involves

Right-weighting and board substitution
Void and over-packaging reduction
Recyclability and material data
Support for EPR reporting data

Typically suited to

Businesses with published sustainability targets
Organisations preparing packaging data for EPR

Solution

Packaging Spend Analysis

Most organisations can't see their true packaging spend. We build a clear baseline, by site, supplier, specification and cost, as the foundation for every commercial decision that follows.

→ Outcome: Decisions grounded in data

What it involves

Spend and volume baseline
Specification and SKU inventory
Price variance by site and supplier
Prioritised opportunity report

Typically suited to

Finance directors seeking visibility
A starting point before any wider programme

A different model

Not a box supplier. A procurement partner.

The difference shows up in the questions we ask, the data we work from and the way results are measured.

Transactional box buying

Quotes compared on unit price
Specifications inherited, rarely reviewed
Each site buys independently
Supplier performance managed informally
Sustainability data hard to obtain

The RightBox approach

Decisions made on total cost
Specifications rationalised and engineered
One coordinated multi-site programme
Supplier performance measured against agreed KPIs
Material and recyclability data built in
