Built before you call.
Quoting, proofing, supplier approval, brand onboarding, stock and dispatch are already built for packaging. Your setup starts there, not from a blank page.
For packaging suppliers & converters
Your packaging back office, fully staffed.
Each back office process is defined once, then software does the work: quotes, proofs, onboarding and dispatch. It runs on top of Dynamics, CartonCloud and your 3PL, so nothing gets replaced.

Works on top of your systems
Your ERP records the order. Otopack runs it.
Dynamics and CartonCloud are good at keeping records. The chasing, checking and re-keying between them is where your people lose the day. That is the work Otopack does.
- Your ERP stays the recordOrders, stock and invoices stay in Dynamics. Otopack reads from it and writes back.
- Nothing to migrateNo new system to learn for finance or the warehouse. Your team keeps the screens they know.
- People still sign offArtwork approvals and supplier changes always go to a named person on your team or the brand.

How Otopack works
Built once for packaging. Shaped to you.
Most business software asks you to change how you work. Otopack arrives 95% built for packaging, and we shape the rest around your business.
5%
Shaped around you.
The last part is yours: your price rules, your approval steps, your documents. We shape it to the way your team already works.
Your systems, connected. Or ours, ready.
Already run Dynamics, CartonCloud or a 3PL? We connect to them and nothing is replaced. Starting without them? We give you the Otopack system, shaped to your business.
Process defined. Software on shift.
This is what we mean by fully staffed. We define each role’s process with your team once, then software does the repeat work every day. Your people make the decisions.
Nothing prints without a name on it.
Every proof goes through an approval round, and production only receives the version a named person signed off.
The Otopack price promise
A price you won’t beat.
We don’t publish a price list, because no two packaging businesses need the same thing. We make one promise instead: show us a written quote from another provider for the same scope, and we will beat it.
How pricing worksFollow one order
From brief to pallet, without the email chain.
One carton order for a supplement brand, followed through all ten steps. Each step shows who handles it and which of your systems it lands in.

Straight answer
Otopack is not for you if...
We built Otopack for packaging businesses with real volume and real artwork risk. Here is who we turn away.
You want to replace your ERP.
Otopack works on top of Dynamics and CartonCloud. If you are shopping for a new ERP, we are the wrong call.
You sell plain stock boxes with no printed artwork.
Most of what Otopack does is proofing, compliance checks and repeat SKUs. Without artwork there is little for it to run.
You want nobody to check artwork.
Otopack prepares and checks every proof. A named person on your team or the brand always signs off.
You run a handful of jobs a month from one inbox.
If one person can hold every order in their head, keep doing that. Come back when they cannot.
Proof Checked
The mistakes that get cartons pulped.
Proof Checked is our running series on the small artwork errors that cause reprints and recalls, and the check that catches each one.

Customers
Two years in, in their words.
“We have run our packaging orders through Otopack for two years. Supplier RFQs, proof rounds and dispatch bookings move on their own now, and nobody on my team is chasing an email chain to find out where a job is.”
“Otopack sits on top of the systems we already had, so nothing was ripped out. Two years in, it is simply how our back office runs, and our people spend their time on customers instead of paperwork.”
Bring one real order. Watch it run.
Pick a quote, a proof round or a call-off from this week. We will walk it through Otopack on top of your own systems, so you see exactly where the hours go.
