packWe

packWe is a technology company headquartered in San Francisco that provides a cloud‑based platform for designing and manufacturing custom packaging solutions for e‑commerce and retail brands. The company’s core service is an interactive design tool that enables users to create packaging from a library of templates, upload their own graphics, and visualise products in 3D before ordering. packWe integrates with major shipping carriers and inventory management systems, allowing users to calculate shipping dimensions, costs, and to generate shipping labels directly from the platform.

Founded in 2020 by former designers and supply‑chain engineers, packWe aims to streamline the often complex process of sourcing packaging materials and printers. The platform offers modules for material optimization, weight reduction, and the generation of environmentally friendly packaging options. A subscription model gives customers access to design resources, a catalog of suppliers, and real‑time order tracking. In addition to consumer brands, packWe’s tools are used by small manufacturers and private label companies looking to differentiate their products through branded packaging.

The company has received several startup awards for its innovation in sustainable packaging. As of 2024, packWe supports over 1,500 active users and has partnered with more than 80 packaging suppliers across North America and Europe. The firm continues to expand its services, adding features such as augmented‑reality previews and AI‑driven material recommendations.
