PACKbid connects you straight to the production floor. The price you agree is the price the factory gets — plus one small, visible fee.
02
Four folds from order to delivery.
02
Bid
Matching factories get an alert. The first to accept your target price wins — or they send a better offer.
03
Pay into escrow
You pay upfront through PACKbid. The money is locked; the factory sees it is safe and starts production.
04
Accept & release
Goods arrive, you check them, you accept. Only then is the factory paid.

The rules. Same for everyone.
| R-01 | Blind bidding | Buyers see country, certificates and price. Never the factory name. |
|---|---|---|
| R-02 | Two modes | Quick buy: the first verified factory to accept the target price wins. Tender: bids collect until the deadline and you choose. |
| R-03 | Escrow | Buyer pays upfront. Factory is paid after delivery is accepted, or automatically after 14 days. |
| R-04 | Neutral platform | No factory gets priority. Every action is logged. |
| R-05 | Price transparency | Closed deals feed anonymous price ranges. Single deals are never shown. |
| R-06 | Fees | Buyers: 3% per completed order. Factories: €1,000.00 / year. |

300 g or 270 g? Weigh it.
Factories upload the paper TDS with every bid, the reel label when production starts, and precision-scale grammage proofs from production. If measured grammage is outside the TDS tolerance, an issue opens and the payment stops.
