Methodology & sources
Prices are aggregated from live Repackify marketplace listings, then walked back through historical periods using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price Index (Paperboard Containers and Boxes, series WPS0915) and BEA Regional Price Parities for regional adjustment. Figures reflect asking prices on the platform and update continuously as listings change.
