Box, carton and bag pricing from size to blank.

The customer only writes the box size: the blank, imposition on 70×100 sheets, plates, cutting die, lamination and gluing are calculated. Short runs go digital with plotter cutting, long runs offset with a die; the quantity decides the method.

Where does pricing leak in this trade?

  • Blanks worked out by hand

    The flat blank of a 20×15×8 cm box (glue flap, tuck and flaps included) is calculated from the size; how many fit on a sheet and the waste come ready.

  • Plates and dies not spread over the quantity

    Offset plates, the cutting die and make-ready are fixed costs; 500 and 5,000 pcs each get their own unit price, and short runs switch to digital print and plotter cutting.

  • Lamination, foil and windows get forgotten

    Matte lamination, spot UV, hot foil, windows and crash-lock bottoms sit in the recipe as job details; when the customer asks for foil, the price updates.

  • Corrugated is bought by the square meter

    Shipping cartons and mailer boxes are calculated from blank area plus waste; the flute (E, B, BC) is taken from the message.
