What a real Foil Sachet supplier quote looks like
The PackIndex SACHET index tracks material cost only. A real delivered supplier quote for a foil sachet typically runs 40–50% higher once conversion, overhead, and converter margin are added. Use SACHET as the material-cost anchor for benchmarking — not as the expected invoice price.
| Cost component | Typical contribution |
|---|---|
| Material (Foil Sachet — this index) | $0.052 $/unit |
| Conversion & labour | +12–18% |
| Overhead | +8–15% |
| Converter margin | +10–18% |
| Indicative delivered quote | $0.072 – $0.077 $/unit |
The real spread varies by region, annual volume band, print/spec complexity, and freight. A quote landing more than ~50% above the SACHET index for a standard spec is worth challenging — benchmark it line-by-line with the PackIndex Quote Analyser.
