Packaging Builder

By the time you know the fee, the tooling is already cut.

Packaging Builder prices the pack while it can still change. Alter a material or a weight and watch the fee move, re-priced against the same cited rates as your dashboard, in every market you sell into.

Most compliance tools tell you what you owe. Packaging Builder helps you owe less. Pick a product you have already loaded, say what matters most, and Oblifee proposes a redesign: materials, target weights, kerbside acceptance in each market, and the fee difference, re-priced against the same cited rates as your dashboard.

How it works

Four steps, and the last one is the point: nothing is a guess at a number. Every fee in the concept comes from the same cited rates that drive your dashboard.

Pick a product

Search by SKU, name, category or business. It uses the packaging components and despatch volumes already in your workspace, so there is nothing new to type.

Say what matters

Cut fees and cost, lightweight, maximise recyclability, reduce single-use plastic, balanced, or global compliance - and you can combine goals. What you choose changes what gets traded away.

Add artwork, optionally

Attach a photo, render or dieline. Obli reads what the design reveals about construction and keeps the concept true to your brand look.

Get a costed concept

Materials, target weights, kerbside verdicts per market, a validation checklist, risks to check, and the annual fee difference at your real volumes.

Steer it by what your business actually needs

The same pack has different best answers depending on what you are optimising for. Choose a goal, or combine several, and the concept changes with them. The global compliance goal goes furthest: it judges the concept against every packaging jurisdiction in the brain, so one design can travel.

Six goals, combinable: cut fees and cost, lightweight, maximise recyclability, reduce single-use plastic, balanced, or global compliance.

What comes back

A proposed build

Component by component: keep, change, add or remove, with the material and a target weight for each, and the construction written out.

Kerbside acceptance, per market

Judged against the schemes' own rules, not a rule of thumb.

The fee difference

Annual EPR impact at your current volumes and current cited rates. Eco-modulation bonuses are deliberately not applied, so qualifying can only improve on the figure shown.

Risks and a checklist

What could go wrong with the change, and what to validate before anyone commits tooling to it.

A picture of the pack

Attach your artwork and Oblifee can draw the proposed pack from it, so the change is something you can look at rather than only read. It is an illustration, and it says so.

A PDF to send on

The whole concept as one document, with the rates it was priced against and the date they were read, ready for your converter or your board.

From checked label to designed label

Redesign is not only about the pack. Once the Labelling checker has verified a product, the AI label design generator can take the result further: front and back pack design concepts, built from your own artwork rather than a template, for the markets you choose or the whole world.

Pick markets and a year

Generate for chosen countries or every market at once, at the go-live year you set, so the concept carries what will be required by then, not only what is required today.

Your artwork, kept

Concepts start from the artwork you already checked, so the brand look survives. Where one label cannot carry every market, it suggests peel labels to bridge the gap.

Concepts, and they say so

Every generated design is a concept to verify before print, and is labelled as one. It shortens the route to approved artwork; it does not replace the approval.

What it is not

A redesign concept is not a manufacturing specification. Validate materials, weights, closures and product compatibility with your packaging converter before changing anything. Packaging Builder is built to make that conversation shorter and better informed, not to replace it.

Figures are estimates from your data and currently cited EPR rates. Where a rate is illustrative or estimated rather than confirmed, it stays labelled that way, here as everywhere else in Oblifee.

How can I reduce my packaging fees?

Fees are set by material, weight and recyclability, all of which are decided before tooling is cut. Packaging Builder re-prices a pack as you change it, against the same cited rates as the dashboard, in every market you sell into.
