Packaging Cost Calculator

Packaging leaves the plant with the product but is not on the drawing, so it is easy to forget. It is NOT costed like material: a carton has no weight per unit and no yield rate - it is priced by pack quantity, by how many units fit one pack. Give each kind its own line, so that an improvement removing the inner liner has somewhere to show up.

Packaging Cost per Unit: Price It by Pack Quantity, Not by WeightOpen all ten categories

You are looking at a sample — these are NOT your numbers. The improvement shown: better nesting lifts material yield from 0.88 to 0.95.
