Packaging System Scenario Comparison Calculator
Use complete BOM costs for two qualified systems and add assembly and order charges once. This compares whole systems, while supplier comparison pages compare offers within one packaging specification.
Use a saved product specification (optional)

First time using this calculator?
Replace the example values with figures from your supplier sheet or measurements. Choose the unit beside each value. Results update as you type; fix any highlighted field before using the result.
GSM means grams per square metre. Net weight excludes the core and other packaging. MOQ means the minimum order quantity. An optional field can stay blank unless the result you need depends on it.
Prices keep the selected currency; changing its label does not convert an exchange rate. Save or export the result after checking your inputs.
Help with a order freight and setup
Enter the transport charge for the same shipment or order represented by the other fields. Use 0 only when the supplier has confirmed that freight is included.
Help with b order freight and setup
Enter the transport charge for the same shipment or order represented by the other fields. Use 0 only when the supplier has confirmed that freight is included.
Label only; no exchange-rate conversion.
System A scoped total
Total = Good products × (Complete BOM cost + Assembly) + Order freight/setup
ma = 0.5; mb = 0.45; la = 0.1; lb = 0.12; fa = 300; fb = 500; quantity = 10000 → System A scoped total = 6300 currency; System B scoped total = 6200 currency; A minus B total = 100 currencySaved calculations stay in this browser. No account or cloud backup is created.

Vary one input and inspect system a scoped total
All other entered inputs stay fixed. Ranges are your scenarios, not statistical confidence or supplier performance predictions. This uses the same validated calculator engine.
The formula, made clear.
Use complete BOM costs for two qualified systems and add assembly and order charges once. This compares whole systems, while supplier comparison pages compare offers within one packaging specification.
How to use this calculator
- 01
Confirm a complete bom cost per good product, b complete bom cost per good product, a assembly per product, b assembly per product, a order freight and setup, b order freight and setup, equivalent good products.
- 02
Enter consistent units; zero means a confirmed absence of a charge or allowance.
- 03
Review the arithmetic, rounding and limitations before using the result in a purchasing decision.

Use measured GSM, net weight and actual layout dimensions where available. Default densities are planning assumptions, not certified material properties. Calculated cost does not certify strength, compatibility or safe loading.
