PKSC 4300: Economics of Flexible Packaging Exam
What is the basis of cost for flexible packaging?: Area - all flexible packaging are used by
area
What is MSI cost?: cost of material per 1000 squared inches
How do you find the MSI cost?: MSI cost = (cost per pound * Basis weight) / 432
equation is only good if cost per pound and basis weight are pound/ream
What is 1 ream?: 1 ream = 3,000 sq. ft = 432,000 sq. in
How do you find the package cost?: 1) find the MSI
MSI = area of package/ (1000 sq. in/msi)
2) calculate package cost
Package cost = MSI * MSI cost
What is yield?: sq. in per pound
how much area of packaging is there or can I make
How do you calculate the yield?: Yield = 432,000 sq. in / basis weight
basis weight must be in pound per ream
if you know the roll weight, you can then determine the area on the roll
