We are a modern paper packaging factory seeking expert support to enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and ensure that all materials used are both fit for purpose and cost-effective. The facility manufactures a broad range of food-service packaging, including:


• Paper cups - for coffee, ice cream, and hot foods such as chicken pots.


• Paper boxes - burger, popcorn, and general Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) packaging.


• Paper bags - in multiple sizes and designs.

Current Situation

The current team—though skilled in production—lacks deep technical expertise in paper selection and optimization.

Key points:


• Paper grades, GSMs, and sheet widths currently in use are based on internal recommendations.


• A comprehensive expert review is required to confirm whether current material choices are optimal for both performance and cost.

• Audit current paper usage across all products.


• Recommend ways to minimize design waste and over-specification.


• Advise on suitable paper grades and GSMs for each packaging type.


• Provide technical guidance for new packaging applications.

• Examine GSMs, coatings, and sheet widths for efficiency and suitability.


• Evaluate design layouts for waste reduction potential.

Optimization Recommendations


• Suggest alternative grades or GSMs to lower costs without reducing quality.


• Identify opportunities to improve material yield and reduce waste.


• Provide a practical, prioritized action plan with quantified savings potential.

Deliverables


• Audit report detailing findings and recommendations.


• Optimized paper matrix (paper type, GSM, coating, width) for each product category.


• Waste and cost-reduction summary.

Phase 2: New Application Advisory

Technical Support for New Packaging


• Advise on suitable paper type and GSM for new packaging (e.g., biryani or jollof rice containers, nut boxes, etc.).


• Recommend design structures and functional considerations.


• Suggest potential suppliers or specifications.

Collaborative Development


• Work with the production team to validate new trials or sample runs.


• Provide design improvements and feasibility checks.

Deliverables


• Specification sheets for each new packaging application.


• Trial evaluation and optimization feedback.

Expected Outcomes


• Reduction in material waste and overall paper consumption.


• Lower production costs through optimized GSM and grade selection.


• Improved structural performance and consistency in all packaging.


• Knowledge transfer to enhance the technical capability of the internal team.

Engagement Details


• Initial audit duration: 3–4 weeks.


• Ongoing advisory: On a retainer or hourly basis as mutually agreed.

Ideal Consultant Profile


• Minimum 10 years' experience in paper packaging design, converting, or material engineering.


• Proven track record in QSR or FMCG packaging (cups, boxes, and bags).


• Strong analytical ability to balance quality, functionality, and cost.


• Ability to communicate recommendations clearly and quantify impact.
