Abstract

This study focused on product costing and cost structure of digital package printing. The objective of the research was to analyse factors affecting the product cost and economic viability of packaging. After feasibility study some of the most significant cost drivers were selected and their values were changed in a relevant scale to assess the impact on total cost. Special attention was paid to the batch-level costs because in the case of on-demand package production the order sizes are relatively small and product diversity is high. Hence the primary focus was on the printing activity and small order sizes.
