Print MIS Software for Packaging Printers
Packaging and specialist print businesses handle complex job specifications - multiple substrates, specialist finishing, compliance requirements, and clients who expect accurate pricing on unusual work. Printlogic's flexible estimating handles non-standard job types alongside standard print processes, covering outsourced components and own-production items on the same job. Job tracking, purchasing, stock control, and invoicing all apply to packaging workflows without configuration specific to that sector.
How packaging printers use Printlogic
-
Step 1 - Complex job estimating
Printlogic estimates packaging jobs using configured material costs, process rates, and finishing charges. Outsourced components - specialist substrates, bought-in finishes - are priced through supplier quote requests and added to the overall job estimate. Multi-component jobs quote as a single document with individual line items per component.
-
Step 2 - Job management and tracking
Packaging jobs move through production stages in Printlogic - prepress, print, finishing, quality check, packaging, dispatch. Each stage is tracked and timestamped. Purchase orders for outsourced components link directly to the job record.
-
Step 3 - Stock and materials
Raw materials - substrates, consumables, bought-in components - are tracked in the stock module. Warning levels flag low stock. Delivery of bought-in materials is tracked against purchase orders.
-
Step 4 - Invoicing
Completed jobs invoice from the job record with all components pre-populated. Invoices export to Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, or MYOB.
Flexible estimating for non-standard jobs - configure materials, process rates, and finishing for specialist print; estimate complex multi-component jobs as a single quote
Outsource and own-production on the same job - outsourced components and own-production items are tracked on the same job record through to the same invoice
Multi-stage production tracking - define production stages specific to packaging workflows; track each stage separately
Stock control for specialist materials - track specialist substrates and consumables with warning levels and delivery tracking against purchase orders
How it connects
Packaging and specialist print businesses are a smaller part of the Printlogic customer base, but the system covers their workflow without specialist configuration. The same estimating flexibility that handles a standard litho job handles a multi-substrate packaging run. The same job tracking that works for a digital print shop works for a packaging production line. If your business is primarily packaging, Printlogic covers your workflow. If packaging is one part of a broader print operation, it sits alongside your other job types in the same system.
