About the Kraft Paper Bag Index
PackIndex PAPR tracks the material cost of a kraft paper bag/sack — the reference format for paper-based flexible packaging in food service, retail, and industrial markets. The 5kg SOS (Self-Opening Square) sack is the reference spec. Primary driver is sack kraft paper (KRAFT), which tracks NBSK pulp.
