Savings Calculator

Here is a sample Calculation of a Typical Operation Savings using CardPak Solvent-base Coated Cards. Review this comparison, then proceed to Calculate Your Savings!

These calculations are based on two identical sealing lines, packaging the same project. Each line has five operators @ $25 hr. with a variable overhead /hour of $10, giving a total operating
cost / hr. of $135.

Typical Water-base Coated Cards
15 cycles / minute
(@ 2.0 seconds dwell time)
4-up tooling

15 cycles x 4 x 60 minutes
x 8 hr. shift = 28,800 pieces / shift

# Pcs. Cost
1 Shift 28,800 $1,080.00
1 Week 144,000 $5,400.00
1 Year 7,200,000 $270,000.00
Typical water-based output:
7,200,000 pieces
CardPak Solvent-base Coated Cards
20 cycles / minute
(@ 1.2 seconds dwell time)
4-up tooling

20 cycles x 4 x 60 minutes
x 8 hr. shift = 38,400 pieces / shift

# Pcs. Cost
1 Shift 38,400 $1,080.00
1 Week 192,000 $5,400.00
1 Year 9,600,000 $270,000.00
CardPak solvent-based output:
9,600,000 pieces

Difference: 2,400,000 pieces
which yields
33% more output
and a total savings of
$90,000 in operating costs

Dwell times can be reduced, increasing high-speed sealing line productivity, by using cards
coated with CardPak Solvent-based Heat Seal Coating.
