What Drives Commercial Property Premium for Packaging Manufacturers

The Commercial Property cost drivers underwriters watch on Packaging Manufacturers

• Product recall and complaint history

• Workforce size and material-handling exposure
• Chemical inventory and hazardous-material storage volumes

The first three explain 60-70% of the spread between a low-end and high-end premium on otherwise comparable Packaging Manufacturers. Carriers underwrite to these factors in that approximate order, with the rest serving as fine-tuning.
