Industrial packaging protects goods in transport and storage. The range extends from stretch and shrink films through jerrycans and drums to strapping and protective solutions. Because material input accounts for a substantial part of production costs in many of these products, changes in polymer prices feed straight through to costs.

With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.
Industrial packaging is produced in large volumes; price movements in PE and PP feed straight through to the production costs of films, containers, and strapping.
High volume throughput: for high-volume articles such as pallet film, stretch film, jerrycans, IBCs or strapping tape, price movements feed through immediately because polymer costs make up such a high share of the overall calculation.
Several competing materials: LLDPE, HDPE and PP are used according to the application – and their prices develop in different ways.
Reliable basis for calculation: current price data makes quotations and budgets for transit and protective packaging more dependable.
