Run your packaging company with tools built for how you quote and produce
Build software that fits your packaging operation. Create RFQ-to-quote systems, configurable spec forms, artwork and dieline approvals, production schedules, inventory tools and customer portals for reorders and order tracking — simply by describing what you need.
Start with the basics
Build the tools your packaging operation actually needs
Packaging manufacturers juggle custom specifications, complex quoting, tooling and dies, artwork approvals and tight delivery windows. Spreadsheets, email threads and generic CRMs make it hard to keep RFQs, estimates, proofs, production and shipping aligned.
Use YeshBe to build custom apps that match your products, processes and machines. Standardize RFQ intake with the exact fields you need, give your team an estimating dashboard, create a customer-facing portal for proofs and approvals, and connect it all to job tickets.
Turn operations into simple workflows: production scheduling across presses, die-cutters and gluers, shop-floor tracking of steps and scrap, inventory and supplier tools for substrates and dies, and portals where customers can reorder and see order status. Build only what you need and refine it as your business evolves.
- RFQ to quote workflowBuild an intake form and estimating dashboard that reflect your materials, styles, quantity breaks and margins.
- Artwork and dieline approvalsCreate a portal for uploads, versioning, annotations and sign-off so proofs and dielines stay organized.
- Production scheduling and WIPPlan jobs across presses, die-cutters and gluers, track steps on the floor and spot at-risk deadlines.
- Customer portals and reordersOffer order status, proof history and quick reorders for repeat SKUs or stock-holding programs.

RFQ-to-Quote System for Custom Packaging
Collect complete specs, manage estimates and send branded quotes with clear status tracking.
PromptBuild an RFQ-to-quote system for my packaging company. Include a public and internal RFQ form that captures packaging type (corrugated, folding carton, rigid box, labels), style (FEFCO or ECMA code), dimensions (L x W x H with unit), quantity breaks, material spec (board grade or flute, gsm/mic), print (number of colors and sides), finishes (lamination, varnish, foil, emboss), dieline and artwork upload, delivery window and shipping details. Add an estimating dashboard where sales can review requests, add cost components (materials, tooling or die, setup, run, finishing, freight, margin), choose price breaks, generate a branded quote PDF or email, and track status (new, estimating, sent, won, lost) with follow-up reminders.
Production Schedule and Shop-Floor Tracker
Plan capacity across presses, die-cutters and gluers, and capture WIP, scrap and downtime from the floor.
PromptBuild a production scheduler for my packaging plant. Maintain a list of machines (presses, die-cutters, gluers) with shifts and daily capacity. Pull confirmed orders into a job board with required steps: printing -> die-cut -> gluing or assembly -> QA -> dispatch. Provide a visual calendar or board per machine with drag-and-drop sequencing, changeover notes and due dates. Create tablet-friendly station screens to start or complete a step, record produced quantity, scrap and downtime reason codes. Include a dashboard for late or at-risk jobs and today’s shipments.
Artwork and Dieline Approval Portal
Keep proofs organized with versioning, annotations and sign-offs linked to each job.
PromptBuild an artwork and dieline approval portal for my packaging customers and internal team. Customers should log in to view assigned jobs, download proofs, annotate or comment, and approve or reject with a reason. Support versioning, due dates, notifications and a final approval flag that locks assets. Internally, link approvals to the related job, record who approved and when, and store dielines alongside print specs and color notes (e.g., PMS).
Inventory and Supplier Replenishment
Track substrates, inks and dies, trigger purchase orders and link materials to jobs.
PromptBuild an inventory and supplier tool for a packaging company. Track materials by type (paper or board, film, ink), spec (grade, gsm or mic, flute), lot number, on-hand, allocated and reorder point. Include a die library with dimensions, cavity, last used date and storage location. When stock falls below minimum, create purchase order drafts with supplier, lead time and expected receipt date. Allow receiving against a PO and linking consumed materials and dies to specific jobs. Provide low-stock and aging inventory reports.
Questions and answers
Common questions about Packaging Companies
Answers to the questions owners ask us most often.
Do I need coding knowledge to build these tools?
No. Describe what you need in plain language, and you can iteratively shape the app until it matches your process.
Can I build a quoting tool that handles custom specs and quantity breaks?
Yes. You can create spec forms with the fields you use, add steps for review and generate quotes with multiple price breaks and status tracking.
Can I give customers a portal to approve artwork and track orders?
Yes. You can build customer-facing pages for proofs, approvals, order status and reorders, while keeping internal workflows separate.
We already use spreadsheets and a basic ERP. How should we start?
Start with one gap, like RFQ intake or production scheduling. You can keep exporting or importing data as needed and expand once the workflow works well.
