PouchCrafters: B2B flexible packaging discovery & conversion platform.
Redesigning the end-to-end digital buyer journey for a North American custom pouch manufacturer—moving from fragmented promotional layouts to a high-converting, performance-driven B2B commerce experience.
The Business Problem
Fragmented B2B Discovery
The original PouchCrafters website relied on repetitive promotional banners, layered visual graphics, and scattered product specifications that forced prospective clients through cognitive friction.
Key manufacturing benefits, custom barrier properties, minimum order quantities (MOQs), and pricing tiers were buried beneath competing visual elements, creating high bounce rates and stalling quote request submissions.
Strategic Mandates
Deconstructing the Legacy Experience
A comprehensive UX audit of the legacy site revealed significant structural bottlenecks. Promotional banners competed with essential product categories, and the absence of progressive disclosure forced users to guess where to start.
Instead of a simple visual refresh, the project demanded a complete reorganization of the user decision-making psychology.
Key Bottlenecks Identified
Decision-Making Strategy
B2B packaging buyers evaluate suppliers through a structured sequence of business questions. The UX was mapped to progressively answer each inquiry:
Understand & Explore
"What do you manufacture and can you create my pouch shape?" Surface clear packaging structures and finish variants immediately.
Validate & Compare
"Do you understand my industry constraints?" Provide specialized vertical filtering for Coffee, Pet Food, Supplements, and Superfoods.
Convert & Enquire
"How do I receive pricing?" Streamline the quote calculator and sample kit request directly into prominent CTA anchors.
Information Architecture
The new IA anchors on early product discovery followed by industry-specific proof points:
