Packaging licensing
Bundling in packaging licensing helps you optimise your product packaging licensing fees, reduce product packaging licensing costs and reduce the administrative burden on businesses. This is achieved by negotiating discounts for large quantities. In addition to the good prices, you benefit thanks to our legally secure contracts!
Bundling of packaging licensing
With the bundling of packaging licensing, the packaging volumes of all participating companies are combined centrally, so that suppliers and retailers receive better conditions when negotiating contracts and can significantly reduce their workload. This saves you time and money and can significantly strengthen your own competitive position.
You too can benefit from our in-depth expertise and the time saved in the legal processing of packaging licensing. There is also a great advantage in reducing workload due to the bundled licensing of the packaging.
The legally compliant contract must ultimately only be concluded by the company, bilaterally with the system provider.
The negotiated licence fees are independent of the individual quantity contributed by the company.
Packaging licensing calculator for Germany
In order to be able to check how the grouping of packaging licences affects your prices, you can enter your fraction quantities in kg in the quantity calculator and then see what licence fee you would have to pay if you were to participate in our grouping of packaging licences.
Please note: The prices are based on the contracts for the current year and apply to licences in Germany. We renegotiate the fraction prices every year in the last quarter, which means we cannot show you any prices for the future.

This also ensures a professional review of the licence agreements, taking into account all relevant legal provisions, rulings and Central Agency Packaging Register (ZSVR) requirements.
Development of licence volumes of all bundling partners in tonnes
Since Markant launched its "packaging licensing bundling" service in 2008, the number of participating companies has increased by about 15 percent annually and stands at almost 350 companies for 2023 – and this is likely to continue to rise.
There are already more than 500 interested parties for 2023. This means that the quantities of bundled packaging are also developing strongly. While around 99,000 tonnes were recorded in 2021, this figure will rise to more than 130,000 tonnes in 2023.
