Work through the task
- Define supplied format and barrier structure, then identify whether caps, straws or fitments are already in the price.
- Build a complete component cost boundary and identify fixed order charges separately from variable unit costs.
- Apply actual order quantity or annual planned demand. Filling-line compatibility and product protection need supplier evidence beyond cost arithmetic.

An illustrative carton at EUR 0.08 and separately purchased fitment at EUR 0.02 cost EUR 0.10 per complete unit. A stated annual plan of 500,000 units gives EUR 50,000 variable packaging spend, excluding fixed order charges.
Use your supplier specification and quotation. These numbers demonstrate the arithmetic; they are not market prices or a packaging suitability assessment.
