What a real Induction Seal / Foil Liner supplier quote looks like
The PackIndex INDUCT_SL index tracks material cost only. A real delivered supplier quote for a induction seal / foil liner typically runs 40–50% higher once conversion, overhead, and converter margin are added. Use INDUCT_SL as the material-cost anchor for benchmarking — not as the expected invoice price.
| Cost component | Typical contribution |
|---|---|
| Material (Induction Seal / Foil Liner — this index) | $12.4 $/1,000 |
| Conversion & labour | +12–18% |
| Overhead | +8–15% |
| Converter margin | +10–18% |
| Indicative delivered quote | $17.4 – $18.6 $/1,000 |
The real spread varies by region, annual volume band, print/spec complexity, and freight. A quote landing more than ~50% above the INDUCT_SL index for a standard spec is worth challenging — benchmark it line-by-line with the PackIndex Quote Analyser.
