What a real Rigid Luxury Box supplier quote looks like
The PackIndex RGID index tracks material cost only. A real delivered supplier quote for a rigid luxury box typically runs 40–50% higher once conversion, overhead, and converter margin are added. Use RGID as the material-cost anchor for benchmarking — not as the expected invoice price.
| Cost component | Typical contribution |
|---|---|
| Material (Rigid Luxury Box — this index) | $6.742 $/unit |
| Conversion & labour | +12–18% |
| Overhead | +8–15% |
| Converter margin | +10–18% |
| Indicative delivered quote | $9.439 – $10.1 $/unit |
The real spread varies by region, annual volume band, print/spec complexity, and freight. A quote landing more than ~50% above the RGID index for a standard spec is worth challenging — benchmark it line-by-line with the PackIndex Quote Analyser.
