PackTrace
PackTrace turns a product photo into a state-by-state packaging compliance report.
The problem
Small Amazon and Shopify brands must now register and report packaging material and weight data under six live state EPR laws, but the only dedicated small-brand tools (Repax, Unpac) assume the brand already has that packaging spec data in hand, when most small sellers have never measured their own packaging.
The wedge
AI vision extraction reads a brand's existing product photos and listing text to estimate packaging material and weight per SKU with no supplier spec sheet required, flags low-confidence items for human review, and files the correct report to each state before the deadline.
