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.

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
|
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

Typical water-based output:
7,200,000 pieces |
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.
