Ask anyone in corrugated packaging: the #42 Kraft index widely used to adjust box unit prices is "inadequate", "disconnected" and "impossible to understand".

But now there's a new, simple, and transparent alternative that's changing ideas about pricing boxes in supply contracts.

It's the Bloomberg Corrugated Box Cost Index: a data-driven option that blends the costs of production into a predictable, real-world mechanism to fairly adjust box prices over time.

On Tuesday, May 13, join Green Markets Box Report analysts and industry experts Ryan Fox and Doug Larsen to learn all the details about the Bloomberg Corrugated Box Cost Index including:

· the (BIG!) Bloomberg difference vs. the #42 Kraft index used throughout the box industry

· how the Bloomberg Corrugated Cost Index is calculated (full transparency!)

· contract use cases for your clients/vendors and new ideas for unit price agreements

· the on-going issues with the current price setting mechanism

· how the indices have performed against each other over time (you'll be surprised!)

· recent divergence between containerboard production costs and the current industry index

· ...and much more!
