Packaging Supplier Scorecard
A scorecard for packaging suppliers turns quality, delivery, commercial and risk performance into a single monthly number you can defend in an award decision or a QBR.
Packaging often runs 3–8% of COGS but has one of the highest specification-driven savings potentials in the plant. Without a scorecard, packaging awards drift toward incumbency and price, ignoring reliability and total cost.
SourcingHub generates a packaging-specific scorecard template with weighted KPIs, tracks them over time, and flags underperformers before they become an escalation.
Fields every Packaging supplier scorecard should cover
- Substrate & grade (corrugated flute, film thickness, resin)
- Dimensions and tolerances
- Print (colors, plates, ink coverage, minimum orders)
- Annual volume and delivery frequency
- Sustainability targets (% recycled, FSC, PCR)
- Payment terms and tooling ownership

Frequently asked

Monthly is the norm for critical suppliers; quarterly is enough for tail-spend. SourcingHub can automate the data pull and email the scorecard to internal stakeholders.
Yes — sharing the scorecard turns it into a management tool instead of a scoreboard. Best practice is to review it jointly during QBRs and set corrective actions.
Start with 40% quality, 30% delivery, 20% commercial, 10% risk / compliance, and adjust based on category criticality. SourcingHub lets you tune weights and save them per category.
