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.
