How to estimate the cost

Finishing work is commonly billed using area or unit counts. The calculator measures a rectangular item's lamination area and adds per-item finishing costs.

  1. Enter the size of the finished item in millimetres.
  2. Choose no lamination, one-sided or double-sided lamination.
  3. Set film and operation cost per square foot.
  4. Enter trimming, folding, binding and other per-item charges.

Before you quote a customer

This is a rectangular-area model. Roll changeover, edge seals, shrinkage, complex shapes and finishing machine setup may need extra charges.

Use your own shop rates. The calculator is a planning estimate, not a supplier price feed, accounting invoice or guarantee of printing-machine suitability.

Frequently asked questions

Can I estimate only cutting and binding?

Yes. Select no lamination and enter finishing rates for the required operations.

Does double-sided lamination charge double the area?

The model counts both flat sides. Enter any extra process or minimum charge separately.
