Most users expect that imagepac will be more expensive than assembling a plate using liquid resin. The reality is almost always the opposite. imagepac is very cost effective, usually saving a user 25% over their current costs when they correctly account for waste and labour.

You can work out how cost effective imagepac is for you by downloading the excel spreadsheet cost calculator. Just input your own purchase prices for resin, damming tape, backing sheet and coverlay and your cost of labour and the calculator will work out the true cost of a conventional liquid plate for you in four sizes A4, A5, A6 and A7.

Waste resin is rarely correctly accounted for; here we use a figure of 30%* but you can adjust that number if you want.

* Europe’s leading analysis of resin for the stamp market states that stamp makers should account for just over 30% wastage.
