Create
Describe the pack the way you’d tell a colleague — “500ml cold-brew coffee, premium, recyclable” or “RSC box 300×200×150 single-wall B/C”. Create parses it into a structured, line-by-line editable specification and carries it through design to a costed bill of materials.
- Material-agnostic: plastic, paper/board, metal and glass formats
- Every extracted field stays editable — nothing is locked behind the AI
- Design step: dielines, brand palette with Pantone mapping, artwork zones, 3D preview
Price
Every spec is costed against the live PackIndex cascade — the same indices that track OCC, resins, pulp and energy weekly. You see material cost per unit, conversion and total, and can re-derive it any week the market moves.
- Costs anchored to live PackIndex indices — never an AI-invented number
- Per-unit breakdown: material lines, conversion, total
- Re-derive any time; the delta shows how the market moved since your last check
Optimize
Optimize runs a version-controlled substitution knowledge base against your BoM: rPET for virgin PET, mono-material for mixed laminates, right-sized formats. Every candidate is priced from the live index — the AI phrases the summary but never invents a substitute, a price or a rule.
- Deterministic substitution rules — facts only, version-controlled, no hallucinated swaps
- Every delta anchored to live PackIndex values, shown per unit and annualised
- Recyclability direction on each swap, tied to the Green Index
Source
Source closes the loop: the spec you created, priced and optimized becomes a structured RFQ — quantities, materials, dimensions, decoration — routed to converters on the OPN Trade Exchange. Buyer and supplier negotiate from the same index benchmark.
- One click builds the RFQ payload from the project spec + BoM — no re-typing
- Routed through the OPN Trade Exchange with live benchmark context on every response
- Material RFQs or finished-pack RFQs; filter suppliers by country and region
One project, four stages, one benchmark
Create, Price, Optimize and Source all operate on the same project, so a swap applied in Optimize is exactly what suppliers quote in Source. Every number along the way is anchored to live PackIndex indices — the same benchmarks published on the Trade Exchange, computed with a documented methodology. AI structures and phrases; it never invents a price, a material or a rule.
Runs & pricing
The Suite is pay-per-run — no subscription required. Parsing a brief, deriving a bill of materials and running Optimize cost one run each; sending an RFQ is free. Run packs start at $24, and every account gets a free sample run each month.
