GPN | Global Packaging Network

GPN (Global Packaging Network) brings packaging costing, supplier discovery, sourcing and training together in one app, for the people who quote, buy and make packaging every day.

COST CALCULATORS

Build a cost model once, with your own materials, inks, adhesives, cylinders, plates, wastage bands and processing rates. Then quote against it in seconds.

• Flexible Laminate: multi-layer structures, pouches, cylinders and plates
• Printed Box: board, plies, punching, pasting and conversion
• Packaging Label: face stocks, adhesives, liners and finishing
• Woven Sack & FIBC: fabric, tape, lamination and stitching
• Rotogravure Cylinder: engraving and cylinder costs
• Laminated Tube: shoulder, cap and sleeve
• Shipping & Freight: what fits in a container and what the shipment costs, on your own freight rates. Free for every member

When you reopen a saved quote, it recomputes at your current rates and tells you if a rate has moved since you made it. Share a quote as a PDF, or send it inside GPN to another member.

PACKAGING DIRECTORY

Search packaging suppliers by industry, product, technology, material, certification and location. Compare listings side by side, shortlist the ones worth a call, and message suppliers inside GPN without publishing your own contact details. Suppliers can list their company and be found by buyers looking for exactly what they make.

RFQ: REQUEST FOR QUOTATION

Describe what you need, and suppliers whose listings match can reply to you in the app. Posting an inquiry is free.

GPN ACADEMY

Nine in-app training courses for the packaging industry, from Packaging Foundations to advanced courses on Packaging Costing & Estimation and Hybrid Presses for Labels. Specialist courses cover rotogravure cylinders, flexible packaging, colour management, AI tools for designers, pouch formats and printed cartons. Each chapter is a downloadable PDF with a short self-check quiz, and your progress follows you between phone and web.

WORKS FOR YOUR TEAM

Keep a cost model private, share it with named colleagues by their User Code, or scope it to a team so everyone prices the same job the same way.
