How do flexible packing manufacturers determine a cost for their products?. There are many cost drivers and elements that may be used, such as material price lists, production batch sizes, scrap, yield, production resources, tooling, labour, hourly rates, overheads and landed costs. But the core element to calculate the estimate or the cost is the formula.
