The PackIndex LUXURY_CARR index tracks material cost only. A real delivered supplier quote for a luxury paper carrier bag typically runs 40–50% higher once conversion, overhead, and converter margin are added. Use LUXURY_CARR as the material-cost anchor for benchmarking — not as the expected invoice price.
| Cost component | Typical contribution |
|---|---|
| Material (Luxury Paper Carrier Bag — this index) | $0.480 $/unit |
| Conversion & labour | +12–18% |
| Overhead | +8–15% |
| Converter margin | +10–18% |
| Indicative delivered quote | $0.672 – $0.720 $/unit |
