What a real Export Crate Plywood Semi-Fin supplier quote looks like
The PackIndex CRATE_PLY index tracks material cost only. A real delivered supplier quote for a export crate plywood semi-fin typically runs 40–50% higher once conversion, overhead, and converter margin are added. Use CRATE_PLY as the material-cost anchor for benchmarking — not as the expected invoice price.
| Cost component | Typical contribution |
|---|---|
| Material (Export Crate Plywood Semi-Fin — this index) | $851.0 /m3 |
| Conversion & labour | +12–18% |
| Overhead | +8–15% |
| Converter margin | +10–18% |
| Indicative delivered quote | $1,191 – $1,276 /m3 |
The real spread varies by region, annual volume band, print/spec complexity, and freight. A quote landing more than ~50% above the CRATE_PLY index for a standard spec is worth challenging — benchmark it line-by-line with the PackIndex Quote Analyser.
