Label Costing Calculator
Estimate roll and sheet label jobs across flexographic, digital and offset processes.
How to use
- Choose the printing technology and format (roll-to-roll or sheet-fed), then enter the number of good finished labels and print colours.
- Enter the label size, roll width or sheet size, margins, gaps and waste. The layout (lanes or labels per sheet) is worked out for you.
- Enter the material rate for your substrate (₹ per m²), then your machine, plate, ink, lamination, die, slitting and packing rates.
- Set overhead, target gross margin and GST. The quotation total, cost breakdown and per-label price update instantly.
- Use Print estimate for a printable quote or Export cost CSV for a spreadsheet. Rates are your own inputs, so check them against your press and supplier data.
1 Job & production method
Flexographic roll production is typically costed by web length, setup waste and running speed. The calculator also supports sheet-fed scenarios using sheet throughput.
2 Label & substrate layout
3 Machine & printing rates
Roll mode uses metres/minute. Sheet mode uses sheets/hour. Machine hourly rate should include costs already covered by your press rate.
4 Finishing & other charges
Lamination is estimated on consumed substrate area. Die and slitting charges use the relevant production basis. Confirm whether your machine rate already includes labour, electricity and consumables to avoid double counting.
