About the Corrugated Display Index
PackIndex DISP tracks the material cost of a corrugated point-of-sale display unit (FSDU — free-standing display unit, 600×400×1200mm) — used in retail, grocery, and promotional campaigns. Primary drivers mirror CORR with additional print/die-cut conversion.

What a real Corrugated Display supplier quote looks like
The PackIndex DISP index tracks material cost only. A real delivered supplier quote for a corrugated display typically runs 40–50% higher once conversion, overhead, and converter margin are added. Use DISP as the material-cost anchor for benchmarking — not as the expected invoice price.
| Cost component | Typical contribution |
|---|---|
| Material (Corrugated Display — this index) | $1.097 $/unit |
| Conversion & labour | +12–18% |
| Overhead | +8–15% |
| Converter margin | +10–18% |
| Indicative delivered quote | $1.536 – $1.645 $/unit |
The real spread varies by region, annual volume band, print/spec complexity, and freight. A quote landing more than ~50% above the DISP index for a standard spec is worth challenging — benchmark it line-by-line with the PackIndex Quote Analyser.
