For packaging manufacturers
Fill the capacity you have. Run the lines better than you did last quarter.
Looppack routes pre-qualified demand to facilities that can actually run it, and licenses the operational software — ink, proofing, quality and production control — that makes those jobs profitable.

Revenue upside
Two lines on the P&L, not one.
Incremental matched demand on the top line; ink, rework, labour and downtime cost removed from the bottom.
- Higher utilisation on existing shifts — enquiries are filtered to formats your lines already run well, so changeover penalty stays low.
- Lower cost to bid — capability and certification data is maintained once and reused on every quote.
- Automation instead of headcount — inline inspection and automated replenishment reduce manual QC and mixing-room labour.
- Fewer credits and reruns — verified artwork and Delta E control cut the rework that quietly consumes margin.

Inline AI inspection that rejects the defect instead of the pallet.
PCS / MES
Production Control System
One shop floor system of record: schedule, OEE, maintenance and material genealogy.
Audit services
Certification-ready, with auditors who know your line.
Our curated auditor network covers Six Sigma Black Belt and Green Belt programs, BRCGS, ISO 9001/14001, GMP, FSC and food-contact standards — for gap assessments, internal audits and supplier verification.
Case study
Label converter, 3 sites — placeholder pending customer approval
A full write-up of a multi-site converter rollout (IMS and QCS across nine presses) is in approval with the customer. Figures shown across this site are drawn from that program and comparable deployments; the named study will publish here once cleared.

FAQ
Manufacturer questions
- What does it cost to list a facility?
- Listing and certification verification carry no upfront fee. Looppack earns a disclosed commission on matched orders only. Software licences are priced separately per line or per site.
- Does Looppack compete with our sales team?
- No. We are a broker, not a manufacturer, and we do not white-label your output. Matched enquiries are incremental demand routed to your capability profile.
- What is required to be listed?
- Valid certifications for the categories you want to serve, capability data by substrate and process, capacity and MOQ ranges, and a reference audit or customer reference. Certificates are verified with the issuing body.
- Can we license the software without joining the marketplace?
- Yes. IMS, ProofCheck, QCS and PCS are available standalone, with ERP integration handled during onboarding.
