How it works

Four steps. No scheduling, inventory or invoicing to get in the way.

Step 1
Set up your shop once
Presses, cylinders, dies, materials and rates. Starting estimates are filled in for you.
Step 2
Enter the label
Size, quantities, material, colors and finishing. Or paste a Label Quote Buddy link.
Step 3
Watch the price build
Layout, waste, press time, plates, die and margin update live for every quantity.
Step 4
Send a clean quote
Print a one-page customer quote to PDF. Your costs and margin stay internal.

Every cost, shown

Each number has a "How this was figured" line, so you can check the math and trust the price.

Flexo or digital, side by side

Compare both processes for every quantity and run the job the cheaper way.

First order and repeat

Plates, die and prepress are listed separately, and repeat prices drop them automatically.
