The cheaper film isn't always the cheaper pack.
A price per kilogram is only one part of what a packaging structure really costs. Waste, rejects, line downtime and shelf-life loss are usually invisible at quotation stage — and they often dwarf the difference in material price. This tool compares the true annual cost of two structures on the numbers your own team already tracks. All figures in AED; sample values shown — replace them with your own.
