Worked Examples

Example 1: Business Cards

Let's calculate the cost of 500 business cards made of 300 GSM paper with dimensions of 3.5" x 2".

Material Cost: $0.05 per square inch
Processing Cost: $0.10 per card
Quantity: 500 cards

Using the formula:

Price = (($0.05 × (3.5 × 2)) + $0.10) × 500 Price = ($0.35 + $0.10) × 500 Price = $0.45 × 500 Price = $225

The estimated cost for 500 business cards is $225.

Example 2: Greeting Cards

Now, let's estimate the cost of 1000 greeting cards made of 250 GSM cardstock with dimensions of 4" x 6".

Material Cost: $0.08 per square inch
Processing Cost: $0.15 per card
Quantity: 1000 cards

Using the formula:

Price = (($0.08 × (4 × 6)) + $0.15) × 1000 Price = ($1.92 + $0.15) × 1000 Price = $2.07 × 1000 Price = $2070

The estimated cost for 1000 greeting cards is $2070.
