Integrity and Trust
 We have been Forecasting Packaging Material Costs for 20 years, and we are proud of our track record. Our projections and recommendations correctly identified supply and cost issues months before they emerged because of our proprietary methodology.  
The Forecast is prepared by purchasing and packaging executives with more than 70 years collective experience sourcing packaging materials.  We have worked in consumer, food and the packaging businesses.  That gives us great perspective.  Our research also correlates more than 60 independent sources of information for optimal accuracy.  We combine that with our own direct experience sourcing billions of lbs. of all types of packaging materials.

Pack Trax Forecasts are exceptionally cost effective. Subscription with monthly updates begin at just $995 for 12 months and include an Update in January.
