Anyone who needs a packaging license knows: the price differences between the various dual systems can be substantial – sometimes several hundred euros per year. That’s exactly why we’ve rebuilt our Verpackungslizenz24 comparison calculator from the ground up.
The result: a completely redesigned tool with a fresh look, significantly better clarity, and smart features that make comparing providers as easy as possible. In this post, we’ll walk you through all the new features – and show you how to find the cheapest provider for your packaging volumes in just a few minutes.
What's new? The 4 most important updates at a glance
The new comparison calculator comes with a completely fresh design and four key improvements that make comparing packaging licenses significantly easier.
1. Clear table format for easier provider comparison
The new results format displays all providers in a structured table – row by row, feature by feature. You can see at a glance:
- Price (including available discount codes)
- Contract duration and cancellation period
- Flexibility for volume adjustments
- Availability of online seal, CO₂ certificate, LUCID data reporting tool, and other additional features
No more scrolling between individual provider pages – everything sits side by side. This saves time and ensures you don’t overlook important differences.
2. Pin feature: lock providers in place and compare them directly
Have you narrowed it down to two or three providers? With the new pin feature, you can lock individual providers at the top of the table. They no longer “move around” as you re-sort – so you can conveniently compare them side by side, no matter how you reorder the list.
This is especially handy when, for example, you want to directly compare the cheapest provider against the one with the best overall package.
3. Faster recalculation: easily adjust volumes and year
Previously, changing your inputs after a calculation was cumbersome. In the new calculator, you can adjust packaging volumes and the license year at any time directly via the control bar – and the results update instantly. No reloading, no jumping back to an earlier step.
This is ideal if you want to run through different scenarios – for example, the difference between your current volumes and projected growth volumes for next year. Or if you want to check how switching from plastic to paper/cardboard would affect your costs.
4. Your fully personalized packaging license comparison
Beyond quick volume changes, the new control bar lets you personalize your comparison even further:
- Use the preferences to select what matters most to you in a packaging license provider. The ranking adjusts automatically based on your settings.
- Use the sorting options to set the order in which providers appear in the table: whether you want to compare by best match or lowest price, or list all providers from A to Z – the new sorting makes it all possible.
Try it out for yourself now! Whether you’re just starting out with your business and looking for a provider for your very first packaging license, or you want to find out whether you can optimize your existing license – our comparison calculator helps you find the best packaging license for your needs!
