Example:

Suppose, a 5 ply carton having a length of 65cm, a width

of 45cm, and a height of 12cm. Now calculate Carton box
costings for 400pcs carton box. (where 5 ply board rate is
$0.65 per square meter).

Solution: X
Here,
Carton length – 65cm,
Width of carton- 45cm,
Carton height – 12cm,
5 ply board rate per square meter- $0.65
Total carton-400pcs.
So,
Plyboard consumption (Per pc carton in square meter),

= 1.41 square meter per pc carton.

Now, from (1), we get-
Carton costings (Per pc carton box),
= Plyboard consumption (Per pc carton in square meter) ×
Plyboard rate (Per sq. meter)
= 1.41 × 0.65
=$0.92 per pc carton box.
So,
For 1pc carton, carton box costings stand at =$0.92.
And,
For 400pcs carton, carton box costings will be (0.92 × 400) =
$368.
