Welcome to PackTrax | A Packaging Cost Reduction Subscription Service

Welcome to PackTrax

Welcome to PackTrax. PackTrax is a subscription service with a difference!

Our mission is to provide the packaging procurement professional with

business intelligience you simply cannot find anywhere else. We believe

that Pack Trax has the most complete set of resources for packaging

material buyers. That is why half the top 25 food, consumer and pharmaceuticals

companies rely on Pack Trax as a trusted partner with a stake in their

success.

Subscriptions began at just $995 for 12 months.

Our value proposition begins with the annual Packaging Material Cost Forecast. The 2013

Packaging Material Cost Forecast is the most comprehensive forecast of packaging

raw materials available. Our 2012 Forecast, prepared in June 2011 was accurate to

within 1/3rd of 1% with no material offside by more than 3%. That's real accuracy.

Monthly reports provide updates on packaging material markets using

actual prices rather than indices or inflated reference prices. This is one of

the primary sources of improvement. Getting prices, and price changes

right is a source of real improvement.

We go further than that. Monthly Pack Trax reports deliver proven advice on cost and

quality improvement. We provide complete cost and quality improvement

analysis twice yearly for each packaging category. If our Advice doesn't result

in defining 5% cost reduction in your business you may simply request a refund of the

subscription fee.

We can also provide you with Cost Models for almost every type of packaging. These

models are highly robust and based on extensive knowledge of packaging supplier

costs. The Optimization platform in our Cost Models help you to define what your

packaging Should Cost. Standard Models are priced at $6995 / packaging category.

Custom models are also available.

A PackTrax subscription is also a smart investment in training focused on

cost and quality improvement, delivered the right way. Our 100% focus

is packaging, primarily for food, consumer and pharmaceuticals products.

This sharp focus enables us to deliver advice that is practical and proven.
