Welcome to PackTrax
Welcome to PackTrax.  PackTrax is a subscription service with a difference!  
Our mission is to provide you with data and advice that will help you drive
your company's results through cost reduction and quality improvement.  We
developed Pack Trax to help you to improve results with reports, data and
recommendations that you can't get anywhere else.   
 
Monthly reports deliver proven advice on cost and quality improvement.  The
current report is a perfect example.  We illustrate ways to reduce Flexible
Packaging cost by 8% to 20%+.  If our Advice doesn't result in defining
5% cost reduction in your business you may simply request a refund of the
subscription fee.   
 
The added value of PackTrax begins with data and market information  to help
you understand packaging raw material costs such as resins more completely. 
And we define ways that you can improve your results against this most
important cost factor. 
 
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. 
 
Simply stated, a PackTrax subscriber will receive information and advice with
the potential to reduce your costs by 5% or more.  We back that commitment
up with a refund policy.

How do we deliver value?

The PackTrax value proposition begins with better pricing data on packaging material inputs. 
 Information you likely do not have today.  Our 2012 Packagig Material Cost Forecast and
the monthly Package Sourcing Action Report are designed to work together to provide
insights into what is really going on with packaging raw materials and why.  And what you should
expect 6 to 18 months out.  We correlate a broad spectrum of inputs and report actual prices
rather than indicator values. That's the first step in results delivery.  Get the major cost inputs right.
 
Monthly Package Sourcing Action Reports deliver value engineering and packaging procurement
advice you simply cannot get anywhere else.  Think of PackTrax as high-value coaching delivered in
a cost effective subscription format.
