What is Packaperforma?
Packaperforma is a business tool used for rapid performance assessments of packaging. The tool was released in Sweden in 2009 after development involving major food and beverage companies, members of The Private Owners’ Association Packforsk and Innventia. Packaperforma is a further development of the previous tool the Packaging Scorecard. The tool is free of cost.
By using Packaperforma companies can easily identify, review and prioritise actions to increase the performance of the packaging at every point within the supply chain. Evaluations with Packaperforma are therefore a possibility to improve the company’s profitability by efficiently developing your packaging.
