Packaging evidence workspace — OR / CO / CA
Import your packaging records once. PackClose keeps every component, source, calculation, change, and missing answer connected, so finance can reproduce the math and compliance can carry the same evidence into the next reporting cycle.
Explore sample data without a card. Add a payment method only when you are ready to start the 14-day own-data trial; then $249/month. Cancel anytime. Existing records stay readable and exportable.
How it works
Attach the receipt, methodology, inputs, and calculation version so the filed totals can be reproduced on demand.
See the missing sources and conflicting values, resolve them with an attributed decision, and preserve the revision chain.
Reuse the current record as a baseline, then review only the packaging, supplier, or sales inputs that changed.
The 2-minute EPR Status & Exposure Scanner
Pick your states, answer a few portfolio questions, and optionally paste a packaging BOM. You get a state-by-state status board, a gap list, and an illustrative exposure view. Nothing to install, nothing uploaded — it runs entirely in your browser.
Run the exposure scannerHave your real BOM handy?
Drop the CSV on the file analyzer and see which data-close columns it carries, which components lack weights, and which materials need a category decision — the same deterministic mapping rules the platform runs, executed entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your computer.
Analyze a real fileJar, pump, cap, label, carton, insert, DTC shipper; weights, materials, plastic detail, roles, and the source document for every number.
Units × component weights to state/material kilograms; every cell traceable; estimates flagged, then replaced with actuals through a recorded correction.
Plastic-only weight and plastic component counts, from day one.
Methodology notes, source inventory with hashes, supplier-request evidence, and the correction chain in a supported export your team can review and use. Optional services add documented internal QA.
Missing data, supplier follow-up, and source differences ordered by impact, with every resolution attributed to a named owner.
One reporting entity working across OR, CO, and/or CA, with up to 1,000 active packaging configurations, several source files or suppliers, and reporting math that needs to stay usable across teams and years.
A simple portfolio with complete supplier specifications may only need a clean template. Multiple entities, more than 1,000 configurations, or hands-on remediation belong in a separately scoped service.
Circular Action Alliance’s current reporting policy can bring methods, categories, brands, calculations, and supporting records back into review. PackClose keeps those pieces connected, so your team can respond from a source-linked workpaper instead of reconstructing one under a clock.
Quoted from the CAA Reporting Policy, Version 2.0 (June 2026), published by Circular Action Alliance — rechecked 2026-09-04. CAA may validate reporting methods, categories, brands, and supporting evidence (§3.10); producer-requested Adjustments are generally limited to one per Producer Report and Report Year (§3.12), while CAA-issued Corrections follow separate 30-day response and 60-day form timelines (§3.11). CAA’s resource center separates reporting and fee planning by state; PackClose verifies account-level status rather than inferring a filing, invoice, or outcome from a planning table. Read the linked sources directly.
Producer status and exemptions stay with your authorized decision-makers. PackClose records the basis, owner, and date so the conclusion is easy to review and hand off. Portal filings stay with your authorized person; fee figures in our workpapers remain labeled planning math because CAA invoices under approved rate schedules. We go deep on OR/CO/CA and track other supported-state dates separately.
Start with the right tool, then add the evidence layer. The Sustainable Packaging Data Council publishes a free US EPR data-requirements template covering California, Colorado, and Oregon. It gives teams a useful field list. PackClose adds the source behind every weight, transformation lineage on every total, a sealed version, and a correction chain — the pieces that make the completed work reusable across finance, compliance, and the next reporting cycle.
Create an account and explore the synthetic sample without a card. Every reported kilogram in the sample traces to a component, a weight, and a source document, with gaps and changes visible.

Render of the console in the new theme, using the live workspace’s synthetic demo numbers. The in-app theme matches — the data model, numbers, and behavior shown are the real product’s.
The workspace is the product: maintain source-backed packaging records, spot what changed, reproduce calculations, and prepare supported exports without rebuilding the model each cycle. Hands-on services are available when you want us to do scoped work with you.

PackClose Workspace limits
How billing works, plainly: create the workspace and explore sample data without a card. Adding a payment method starts the 14-day own-data trial for $0. Unless you cancel in the billing portal, the subscription begins at $249/month when the trial ends. There are no automatic overage charges. If you reach a plan limit, new writes pause while review and export keep working.
What support includes: technical and how-to help by email. The subscription does not include data entry or cleanup, legal or applicability decisions, filing, supplier chasing, custom mappings or integrations, bespoke deliverables, or consulting calls.
Consultants and packaging engineers: PackClose can support the evidence layer while you retain the advisory and filing relationship. Ask about a referral or delivery partnership; any commercial terms are agreed in writing before work begins.
Can numbers be edited after sign-off?
No. Completed workpaper versions are sealed (tamper-evident, hash-verified); corrections create linked versions with recorded reasons.
Who decides producer status / exemptions?
You, with your reviewer or counsel. We record the decision, its basis, and its date — we never compute it.
Where do the numbers come from?
Every kilogram traces to units × component weight with the source document; estimates are flagged until replaced.
Do you file for us?
No. You submit in the portal; we prepare the workpaper and record your receipt/status as evidence.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No customer data enters consumer AI tools. Model-assisted processing happens only under commercial no-training terms — or not at all, at your election.
Your security reviewer will want more than a table. The Security & Trust page lists every control by name with its actual status — shipped, armed at deploy, or not built — plus subprocessors, DPA availability, retention, and a direct answer on SOC 2. It includes a section on what we have not built, which is the part worth reading.
