For EPR & packaging consultancies

Hand off the packaging-data cleanup. Keep the client and every judgment call.

PackClose turns a client’s scattered packaging files into a source-linked component ledger and an exception list, built inside your workbook or template, for your practitioner to review. White-label, NDA first, and we never contact your client.

When it helps

A client packet arrives in a dozen shapes. Supplier spec sheets, a BOM export, a sales report and an email thread, none of them agreeing on component names or units.
A supplier revises a spec mid-cycle. Someone has to decide whether the new weight replaces the old one, for which configurations and from when, without losing the original.
Several clients share a deadline. Your practitioners should spend their hours on mapping, applicability and client advice, not on rebuilding a weight table from PDFs.

What you get back

Everything lands in the template you already use, so it slots into your own review and your client deliverable.

Component values with their source: the exact document, page or cell each number came from.
Explicit conversions and a reconciliation that reproduces every subtotal from units × weight.
An exception list: missing, conflicting and unmapped values, each with its evidence and the person who needs to decide it. Unknowns stay unknown, never zero.
A change summary and one consolidated revision after your review.

A five-row example

Every entity, document and number here is synthetic. Configuration DEMO-001, one component of each type per unit, 1,000 fictional units. Material descriptions are source labels, not approved classifications.

Component	Source description	Weight (g)	Source record	Mass, 1,000 units (kg)	Review state
C-01 Jar	Glass	45.0	SRC-01, weight_g	45.0	Traceable; category for your review
C-02 Cap	PP	5.0	SRC-02, weight_g	5.0	Conflict New spec says 6.0 g; baseline kept pending your decision
C-03 Label	Paper	0.6	SRC-03, weight_g	0.6	Traceable; category for your review
C-04 Carton	Paperboard	8.0	SRC-04, weight_g	8.0	Traceable; category for your review
C-05 Insert	Paper	Unknown	SRC-05, weight absent	Unknown	Missing Do not assume zero; request sourced weight

Known subtotal: 58.6 kg, excluding the unknown insert, so it is labeled incomplete. If you approve the revised cap spec, the subtotal becomes 59.6 kg and both sources stay on file.

Exception	Evidence	Next action	Decides
EX-01 Cap weight changed	SRC-02 5.0 g vs SRC-06 6.0 g	Confirm affected configurations and effective period before replacing the baseline	Your practitioner
EX-02 Insert weight absent	SRC-05 has no weight	Obtain a sourced weight; keep unknown until supplied	Client data owner, via you
EX-03 Mappings not approved	Source descriptions only	Apply your mapping policy; flag ambiguous composites	Your practitioner

Founding pilot: scope and price

A fixed, small first packet so you can judge the work on a real file before anything bigger. How you price the work to your client is entirely yours.

Price	$1,000 fixed. $500 deposit before work starts, $500 on delivery of the agreed scope.
Scope	One reporting entity and year; up to 10 packaging configurations, 30 component rows and 10 readable source documents; one target template; one consolidated revision.
Turnaround	Five business days from receipt of complete, authorized inputs.
Screening first	We look at the files before you pay. If the packet does not fit, we say so and you owe nothing. Larger, urgent or ambiguous packets are quoted separately.
You provide	Authorized client files, your mapping and classification policy, your target template and a named reviewer.

Not ready to share a client packet? Send one anonymized configuration (up to five component rows with their source documents). We will return it ledgered, with its exceptions, within two business days, free. Offered to the first five consultancies.

What stays with you, and how we treat client files

Your client, your name. Work is delivered in your template with no PackClose branding unless you want it. We never contact, solicit or pitch your clients.
Your judgment. Applicability opinions, final material categories, fee estimates, supplier follow-up, client communication and portal submission stay with you. PackClose does not file, certify or attest.
NDA first. We sign your NDA or subcontractor terms before any client file moves.
Narrow use. Files are used only for your packet, never in consumer AI tools or any model training, and returned or deleted when you ask.

How it starts

Reply or email with a rough description of the packet. No client data needed yet.
NDA, then screening. You share the files; we confirm scope in writing within two business days.
Deposit. $500 by invoice; work starts the next business day.
Delivery and review. Ledger and exception list in five business days; one consolidated revision after your review; $500 on acceptance.

PackClose is new, and it is operated by Lapilo Labs, LLC. The founding pilot exists so a few consultancies can test the work on a real packet before standard pricing is set. Expect a direct answer from the person doing the work.
