    Hi Awad,

    More detail is typically required to do an analysis. I recommend you look at software providers that specialize in Life Cycle Analysis and environmental impact calculations for packaging like the one listed below

    This free tool helps brands calculate the carbon footprints of their products (fastcompany.com)

    You may want to have your LCA done by a consulting firm that specializes in packaging.  There is more to the LCA than just the packaging dimensions and material type that you have provided.  If calculation is required by your customer, they may have a Sustainability Team that you can work with that already has the LCA Software.  Otherwise I would suggest paying a consulting firm to do the full analysis for you.
