FAQ

Packaging quote questions, answered

Can GelatoConnect Estimator price bespoke packaging configurations? +
Yes. The packaging pricing model handles custom dielines, multi-component packs, hybrid corrugate + folding-carton jobs, and one-off SKUs. 80+ packaging-specific parameters are configurable per machine, substrate and finishing path so the AI matches your real cost structure rather than a generic template.
Does it price tooling, plates and one-time setup costs separately? +
Yes. Setup costs — dieline tooling, cylinder/plate charges, makeready, sample boxes — are itemised separately from variable cost per unit. The engine amortises setup across the order quantity and shows the line-item breakdown on the customer-ready quote PDF.
Can it handle multi-component packaging quotes? +
Yes. Quote master cartons, secondary packaging, inserts, sleeves and labels as components of a single order. Each component carries its own substrate, finishing and quantity, and the engine totals them with consistent margin rules.
How does it handle substrate cost volatility? +
Substrate prices are configured per supplier with effective-from dates. When corrugate or board prices move, you update the parameter once and every quote in flight uses the new cost. The audit trail records which substrate price applied to which quote.
Can I bring my own packaging pricing into the demo? +
Not in the on-page demo (it uses sample data). When you start the 14-day free trial after the demo, your account is configured with your machines, substrates, finishing and margin rules — so the AI prices your real jobs from day one.
What customer story is most relevant for a packaging printer? +
BSG, a UK packaging print specialist, used GelatoConnect Estimator to double their win rate and secure a £750,000 packaging tender by responding before competitors. The full case study is linked above.
