Meet BoldtSmith Packaging Consultants.

Packaging solutions that work

We don’t manufacture materials, make boxes, or sell crates. We are a team of packaging consultants and engineers who design and optimize product packaging for sustainability and cost reduction.

Whether it’s lightbulbs or turbine engines, juice drinks or windows, we go deep into possible solutions and “run the numbers” on the ROI of each. We engineer designs for sustainability, fix packaging system inefficiencies, and work with clients around the world as their go-to “in-house” packaging experts.

Our solutions

There are 50,000 foot solutions and 50 foot solutions. We do both.

The fastest way to uncover profit and support product quality is with optimized packaging. BoldtSmith’s team of packaging consultants and engineers are experienced across multiple sectors and are impartial to materials and vendors, giving us the broadest solution set in the packaging industry. We’re driven by data and respectful of user experience.


Every day, our customers trust us with their brands and their business, and we don’t take that lightly. In the process, we set the industry standards for comprehensive packaging consulting services and cost-effective packaging solutions.

Are you leaving money on the table?

There are many components to an ROI calculation: materials costs, damaged product costs, assembly costs, and manufacturing slowdowns when you don’t have what you need when you need it.

What if changing the way you package products could add millions of dollars to your overall profit calculation? Our packaging consultant services have delivered this level of cost reduction. By optimizing packaging for efficient transportation and by reducing damaged product rates, our solutions go beyond just making materials cheaper.

In fact, they may involve better materials and improved presentation.It is likely that you have untapped profit that can be recovered simply by changing the way you package and protect products. Need immediate savings? Our packaging engineers have got your back.

Transit testing for the win

Our packaging consultants assess products for vulnerabilities at the source of packaging. We follow the product’s path through every stop in the supply chain.

If products have a chance to be dropped or handled roughly, we simulate those conditions over and over. By leveraging risk analysis, we identify and implement structural design improvements that prevent damage and ensure durability.

Making sure a product arrives safely—large, fragile, liquid, cold, or in 100 disassembled parts—requires the closest look possible at what it’s up against every step of the way.

Data-driven ROI & real sustainability

Return on investment, which is net savings and increased profit over time, is everyone’s goal. There is a lot of talk about sustainability and reduction in carbon goals as well. Those two goals are not mutually exclusive.

NET GREEN™ is how we evaluate changes in packaging systems and packaging design for measurable sustainability improvements. It is data-driven and quantifiable, ensuring your efforts lead to real impact.

Focusing on ROI and saving money by optimizing packaging solutions is, in fact, the most sustainable thing you can do regardless of where your company is in the supply chain. We provide you with the data to prove it.

Our clients

Expertise in action

Every packaging challenge is different. What you’ll see in our case studies reflects our problem-solving capabilities. Because we work in multiple sectors, such as CPG, medical products, OEM, military, and e-commerce, our packaging consultants apply insights differently than in-house teams. Efficiency is our guiding light, NET GREEN™ sustainability is the outcome, and undiscovered profit is the benefit we deliver to our clients.

Design to ship.
Ship to save.

We know it’s an old adage, but it drives our mission and truly is the yin/yang of our business: “Design to optimize. Optimize to save.” Packaging that is not optimized is a waste of money and a barrier to sustainability.

You’ll see our packaging consultants obsessing over details to impact the big picture: profit in reducing materials, profit in optimizing packaging systems, profit in minimizing product damage. This means increased profitability because our work delivers on NET GREEN™ sustainability.

Saving money and sustainability live in everything we do for our clients.
