Paper is 65–75% of the cost of a corrugated box. A ₹2/kg rise on every layer of a 5 ply box costs you about 3–4% of your price. On a 14% margin, that is a quarter of your profit gone if you don't re-quote.
The box cost calculator takes these rates as its starting point and shows what any kraft change does to your price.
The ₹/kg column is set by BoxQuote each week from mill price notices, traders and box makers. The "Box makers paid" column is the median of rates box makers report on this page. Treat both as a guide, not a mill offer.
Base rates weekly. Box maker reports show up within minutes, once at least 3 people have reported the same grade and region in the last 14 days.
Yes. We store only the grade, region, rate and date. No name, phone number or email.
For a 5 ply 300 × 200 × 150 mm box, about 66 paise of cost per box. The box cost calculator shows the exact figure for your box and the new price at the same margin.
