BENCHMARKING IN PACKAGING

By definition –

It is a process of identifying, understanding and adapting outstanding practices from organization anywhere in the world to help tour organization improve its performance
It is a highly respected practice in the business world

Specific to packaging, Benchmarking determines –

Which is the best packaging in terms of appeal, material selection, space utilization, consumer convenience and so on?
How effectively the product is being packed?
How is the competitive brand doing that?
Where does our brand stand in competition?
What are the areas where our brand can be optimized?
What are the cost breakups of the packaging involved?
If we are already optimized, is there a scope to look for some new innovations?
Identifying new vendors, new materials, new systems in packaging

Benchmarking aims at INNOVATING and not IMITATING

Testing a package can be done inhouse or by outsources laboratories. However, the later doesn’t analyse the data, they only present it in a codified manner. To analyse the data either a packaging professional had to dedicate his/her time else they simply use the data and present. We at Packaging Connections provides “Value Additive Benchmarking” across various companies and product categories.
