Packaging and printing
Job costing software for packaging and printing units
Substrate issued by reel, waste before the run settles, conversion steps after printing, and a client quoted per thousand. FleekERP issues substrate and ink by lot to the job, records setting and running waste separately at each operation, and closes the job with the cost that client actually incurred.

What slows packaging and print units down
- Make-ready waste hides in the totalSetting waste and running waste are counted together, so you can't tell whether the press or the operator is the problem.
- The wrong artwork reaches the pressRevisions are tracked by email, and an old version gets printed before anyone notices.
- Quoted cost and real cost differJobs are quoted per thousand, but substrate, ink and waste are never totalled per job to check the quote.

Built for packaging and print units
- Setting waste split from running wasteThe two are recorded as separate reasons, so a high setting loss on short runs shows up as itself instead of hiding in a total.
- Artwork revision on the jobThe job carries the revision it was approved against. A later revision does not change a job already running.
- Cost per clientSubstrate, ink, machine hours and job work roll up per job and per client, not only per month.

Questions from packaging and print units
Reels are issued and the balance comes back. Can stock handle that?
Yes. A reel is issued to the job by lot and the unused balance is returned against the same lot, so the reel's remaining length stays correct.
Can waste be recorded in sheets and in kilograms?
Waste is recorded in the unit the operation runs in. The item's conversion turns it into the unit the cost report uses.
