FAQ
Printing cost calculator — questions
What can this printing cost calculator estimate?
It estimates the per-piece cost of three common jobs — self-adhesive labels, shrink sleeves and flexible-packaging pouches. Pick your product and enter the job; you'll get an indicative per-piece cost on screen and the full breakdown by email.
How does it work out the cost?
For each product it adds up the real cost components — material or film, plate origination spread over the run, ink by colour and coverage, die-cutting or converting where relevant, machine time and manpower, and waste — then divides by your order quantity.
Is the calculator free?
Yes, completely free. You'll see the per-piece cost on screen and receive the full category-by-category breakdown by email.
How accurate are the numbers?
They're indicative estimates for guidance, based on your inputs and typical rates. Your real cost depends on your material contracts and job specifics — share the details and we'll firm it up.
Do you also compare printing processes?
Yes — use Flexo vs Gravure or Flexo vs Offset to price the same job on two processes and see the break-even quantity.
