Esko launches new Cape Pack Prime to help customers drive down costs and meet sustainability KPIs

Packaging-driven solution helps converters successfully reach their own sustainability targets
Esko has today (1 December, 2025) launched Cape Pack Prime, a new packaging-driven sustainability solution that helps packaging converters successfully reach their own sustainability targets.

An extension to the popular Cape Pack software for packaging and logistics optimization, Cape Pack Prime is an easy-to-use, cloud-based platform that uses real world product models to accurately calculate optimized packaging and palletization solutions that drive down costs and help customers meet their sustainability KPIs.

“As climate change concerns intensify, sustainability is no longer a choice, but a necessity across the packaging value chain,” said Esko Marketing Director Jan De Roeck.

Consumers are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious and exerting pressure on companies to adopt less impactful practices, while increasing regulations are applying pressure on brands to take more responsibility for their broader environmental impact.

“While both brands and their suppliers are under increasing pressure to deliver on packaging sustainability, packaging design and development is often undertaken in silos where components are created by different people, in different companies, and at different times,” he said. “This fragmented information means it is challenging to optimize packaging for sustainability and to track progress against KPIs.”

Cape Pack Prime features a new integrated carbon emission calculation capability, developed in partnership with CarbonQuota®, which enables brands and packaging converters to accurately measure and reduce their environmental impact through automated carbon footprint calculations, helping them meet sustainability goals and comply with evolving regulatory requirements.
