The calculator scales per-order material usage by order count, adjusts usage by packaging profile, and applies material-grade cost factors. It adds labor and waste allowance to produce a realistic total packaging spend and per-order cost estimate.
material usage total = orders × usage per order × profile factor
material cost = usage total × unit cost × grade factor
subtotal = box + wrap + tape + void fill + labor
total packing cost = subtotal + (subtotal × waste allowance %)
