Packaging / printing / converting valuation

How much is a packaging company worth by size band?

Specialty packaging (medical, food, industrial) sits above commodity print. Use the print discount cell when the book is ink on paper with no converting moat.

Specialty converting (medical, food, industrial) sits above commodity print. Use the print discount cell when the book is ink on paper with no converting moat. State the mix in the first table, not in a footnote.

When is packaging / printing / converting valuation an asset-floor conversation?

Illustrative only, specialty pouch, ebitda-3-10m: $3.8 million adjusted EBITDA, food-contact, no customer above 20%. Packaging cell 5.5x–7.5x. Illustrative EV $20.9–$28.5 million.

Illustrative only, commercial printer, sde-under-1m: $290,000 SDE, declining top-line. Use 2.0x–3.2x SDE (print discount). Asset floor on the press may dominate.

How should a broker opinion on a packaging company be used — and not used?
