Last verified: November 4, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/carton/netherlands

<a id="answer"></a>

In Netherlands, 1,000 folding cartons of the Medium (cereal-size box) size (30 g) carry an estimated packaging fee of €0.51 on the 2027 schedule. The range comes from the published rates of Verpact (Stichting Afvalfonds Verpakkingen) Afvalbeheerbijdrage Verpakkingen that fit each part of the pack. Instica estimates it; you confirm the weights, then sign and submit.

## What this page estimates for a folding carton in Netherlands

The folding carton on this page is a paperboard box that wraps the product, such as a soap, tea or cereal box. It has one component, each matched to the published rates of the 2027 schedule of Verpact (Stichting Afvalfonds Verpakkingen) Afvalbeheerbijdrage Verpakkingen for Netherlands; weight times rate gives a fee per 1,000 packs in EUR. The figures are estimates built on starting weights.

<a id="anatomy"></a>

## What is in a folding carton

The carton is one paperboard component. A plastic window or a coating is not weighed separately in the starting estimate.

Starting weights, an Instica estimate for a typical pack and not a measured weight: carton (paperboard, 30 g).

<a id="worked-example"></a>

## Worked example: 1,000 folding cartons in Netherlands

One folding carton of the Medium (cereal-size box) size weighs 30 g in total. For each component the table gives its weight, the matched published rates, and the fee for 1,000 packs.

<a id="worked-example-table"></a>**Fee for 1,000 folding cartons in Netherlands, in EUR**

| Component | Weight each | Matched published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Carton | 30 g | Paper and cardboard | €0.51 | €0.0005 |

<a id="calc-total"></a>Netherlands: 1,000 folding cartons of the Medium (cereal-size box) size are estimated at €0.51 in packaging fees.

Added together, the estimate for 1,000 packs is €0.51.

Divide by 1,000 for a single pack: about €0.0005.

## What the fee tool returns for 1,000 folding cartons in Netherlands

Entered into the public fee tool for Netherlands (2027 schedule, effective January 1, 2027), 1,000 folding cartons give the figures below. The tool is the same engine that prices a report, so this page and the tool agree.

<a id="rates"></a>

## Which published rates were matched in Netherlands

One published rate was matched to the pack in Netherlands from the 2027 schedule. Each is quoted from the programme’s own fee table; the page does not change the rate or round it.

#### Carton, 30 g: one matched rate

<a id="matched-rates-1"></a>**Rates matched to the carton, Netherlands 2027**

| Category | Published rate | Per kilogram | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |

<a id="sizes"></a>

## How size changes the fee for a folding carton

The weight of a folding carton depends on its size. The table prices each of the 3 sizes with the same matched rates, so the only thing that changes between rows is the weight.

<a id="sizes-table"></a>**Fee for 1,000 folding cartons by size in Netherlands, in EUR**

| Size | Weight each | Fee per 1,000 packs, lowest rates | Fee per 1,000 packs, highest rates | Per pack, lowest | Per pack, highest |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Small (soap or tea box) | 15 g | €0.26 | €0.26 | €0.0003 | €0.0003 |
| Medium (cereal-size box) | 30 g | €0.51 | €0.51 | €0.0005 | €0.0005 |
| Large (gift box) | 70 g | €1.19 | €1.19 | €0.0012 | €0.0012 |

Each component of the folding carton priced at every size, at the matched rates for Netherlands.

<a id="matrix"></a>**Fee per 1,000 packs by component and size, Netherlands, in EUR**

| Component | Small (soap or tea box) | Medium (cereal-size box) | Large (gift box) |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Carton | 15 g: €0.26 | 30 g: €0.51 | 70 g: €1.19 |

<a id="options"></a>

## What if the folding carton used another material?

Suppose the main component of the folding carton, weighing 30 g, were made of another material. The table prices the same weight in each material class that Netherlands publishes a rate for, at the lowest published rate in that class.

<a id="options-table"></a>**Same weight, different material, Netherlands, in EUR per 1,000 packs**

| Material | Lowest published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs at that rate | Highest published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs at that rate |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| paper and board | 0.017 EUR/kg | €0.51 | 0.017 EUR/kg | €0.51 |
| plastic | 0.87 EUR/kg | €26.10 | 1.320 EUR/kg | €39.60 |
| glass | 0.100 EUR/kg | €3.00 | 0.100 EUR/kg | €3.00 |
| aluminium | 0.380 EUR/kg | €11.40 | 0.380 EUR/kg | €11.40 |
| steel | 0.360 EUR/kg | €10.80 | 0.360 EUR/kg | €10.80 |

<a id="options-all"></a>**Every matched rate of the other materials at 30 g, Netherlands, in EUR**

| Material | Category | Published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| plastic | Plastic, rigid and flexible/unspecified, indirect export (deviating tariff) | 0.87 EUR/kg | €26.10 | €0.0261 |
| plastic | Plastic, flexible or unspecified | 1.320 EUR/kg | €39.60 | €0.0396 |
| glass | Glass | 0.100 EUR/kg | €3.00 | €0.003 |
| aluminium | Aluminium | 0.380 EUR/kg | €11.40 | €0.0114 |
| steel | Other metals | 0.360 EUR/kg | €10.80 | €0.0108 |

A fee comparison only: another material changes weight and protection too.

<a id="volume"></a>

## What a larger run of folding cartons costs in Netherlands

Fees scale with the number of packs, because the schedule charges by mass. The table repeats the worked example for larger runs of the Medium (cereal-size box) folding carton in Netherlands. Nothing else changes between rows: the same weights and the same matched rates apply.

<a id="volume-table"></a>**Fee by run size for the folding carton in Netherlands, in EUR**

| Packs | Total weight | Fee at the lowest rates | Fee at the highest rates |
| ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 100 | 3 kg | €0.05 | €0.05 |
| 500 | 15 kg | €0.26 | €0.26 |
| 1,000 | 30 kg | €0.51 | €0.51 |
| 5,000 | 150 kg | €2.55 | €2.55 |
| 10,000 | 300 kg | €5.10 | €5.10 |
| 50,000 | 1,500 kg | €25.50 | €25.50 |
| 100,000 | 3,000 kg | €51.00 | €51.00 |
| 500,000 | 15,000 kg | €255.00 | €255.00 |
| 1,000,000 | 30,000 kg | €510.00 | €510.00 |

<a id="calc-pack"></a>Netherlands: a single folding carton is estimated at €0.0005 in packaging fees.

<a id="calc-blended"></a>Netherlands: across all its components, a folding carton is priced at €0.017 per kilogram of packaging.

Taken as a whole, the pack is priced at €0.017 per kilogram of packaging, so a heavier pack costs more in proportion to its weight.

Flat fee bands, registration fees and minimum charges sit outside this per-kilogram table.

Netherlands has published 2 per-mass fee schedules that price this pack. The same Medium (cereal-size box) folding cartons are priced on each below, with the same weights and the same matching rules, so only the published rates differ.

## The fee schedule behind these figures for Netherlands

The rates come from the 2027 schedule of Verpact (Stichting Afvalfonds Verpakkingen) Afvalbeheerbijdrage Verpakkingen for Netherlands, effective January 1, 2027. The facts below record where it was published and what else the schedule charges.

<a id="fee-source"></a>Netherlands: the 2027 fee schedule of Verpact (Stichting Afvalfonds Verpakkingen) Afvalbeheerbijdrage Verpakkingen, effective January 1, 2027, is the source of the per-kilogram rates used on this page.

<a id="other-nl-sup-vormvast-voedsel"></a>Netherlands: the schedule lists a further fee, “SUP surcharge, rigid SUP food containers”, of 2.100 EUR per 1,000 items excl. VAT.

<a id="other-nl-sup-flexibel-voedsel"></a>Netherlands: the schedule lists a further fee, “SUP surcharge, flexible SUP food packaging”, of 2.100 EUR per 1,000 items excl. VAT.

<a id="other-nl-sup-draagtassen"></a>Netherlands: the schedule lists a further fee, “SUP surcharge, carrier bags under 50 micron”, of 2.100 EUR per 1,000 items excl. VAT.

<a id="other-nl-statiegeld-grote-flessen"></a>Netherlands: the schedule lists a further fee, “Deposit producer contribution, large bottles”, of 0.034 EUR per deposit container excl. VAT.

<a id="other-nl-statiegeld-kleine-flessen"></a>Netherlands: the schedule lists a further fee, “Deposit producer contribution, small bottles”, of 0.022 EUR per deposit container excl. VAT.

<a id="other-nl-statiegeld-blikjes"></a>Netherlands: the schedule lists a further fee, “Deposit producer contribution, cans”, of 0.019 EUR per deposit container excl. VAT.

<a id="eco-modulation"></a>Netherlands: the schedule describes its eco-modulation method as “discount”.

The schedule also lists 8 other fees, which are not part of the per-kilogram estimate on this page.

The schedule describes an eco-modulation of its rates, so the fee a producer pays can be adjusted up or down from the base rates shown here.

<a id="levers"></a>

## Ways to lower the fee on a folding carton

Board caliper and box size set the weight, so a snugger box that still protects the product lowers the mass.

Paperboard is usually priced on a line of its own, which can differ from the line for thin paper or for corrugated board.

A carton with a laminated film layer may be read as a composite, so check the coating before choosing a line.

Cartons are printed in runs of thousands, so a small weight change per carton repeats across the whole run.

## Questions sellers ask

### <a id="q1"></a>How much is the EPR fee for a folding carton in Netherlands?

For 1,000 folding cartons of the Medium (cereal-size box) size, the estimated fee is €0.51 on the 2027 schedule, from the published rates that fit each component.

### <a id="q2"></a>Is this the amount I will pay?

No. It is an estimate for the packaging alone. Registration fees, flat fee bands, eco-modulation and thresholds sit outside the per-kilogram figure. Instica prepares the data; you check, sign and submit it, and Instica never stores regulator login details.
