29 October 2025 - Quantity Control by Print Size

Applicable to SC-Sheet only. You can now set minimum order quantities specific to each print size. For example, require 100pcs minimum for A4 orders and 200pcs minimum for A5 orders—each size gets its own quantity rules.

Advantage:
Ensure every job meets your production efficiency thresholds. Smaller sizes that require more setup or waste more material can have higher minimums, protecting your profit margins. No more unprofitable small orders—each size is priced and controlled based on what makes sense for your business.

29 October 2025 - Enhanced Additional Information

We've upgraded the "Additional Information" section with comprehensive production details for printers, including package overview, material summary, printing parameters (nesting type, print length, wastage), layout specifications, and financial breakdown with margin and discount calculations.

Advantage:
Get complete job visibility at a glance. All critical production data—from material usage and nesting efficiency to profit margins—is now consolidated in one clear overview. Make faster decisions, spot potential issues before printing, and ensure every job is profitable and optimized for your workflow.

29 October 2025 - Print Nesting Options

New nesting modes give you precise control over how jobs are arranged on your print sheets: Single (one orientation per sheet), Multi (same orientation repeated), or Mixed (different orientations combined on one sheet). PriceCal automatically rotates orientations to achieve the best yield.

Advantage:
Maximize material usage and minimize waste without manual calculations. The system intelligently finds the most efficient layout for you, reducing costs and improving profit margins. Whether you're running high-volume repeats or combining multiple orientations, get optimal sheet utilization every time—automatically.

29 October 2025 - Custom Size Limits

You can now set minimum and maximum size limits for custom dimension products. Control exactly what size ranges customers can order directly from your Printalogue storefront.

Advantage:
Prevent orders outside your production capabilities and avoid back-and-forth clarifications. Set realistic boundaries that match your equipment and materials, reducing errors, saving time on manual corrections, and ensuring every order you receive is one you can actually fulfill.

29 October 2025 - Custom Reply-To Address

You can now set a custom reply-to email address for all automated emails sent from your Printalogue storefront. Customer replies will go directly to your preferred inbox.

Advantage:
Keep all customer communications organized in one place. Instead of replies going to a generic system email, they land exactly where you want them—making it easier to respond quickly, track conversations, and never miss an important customer inquiry.

29 October 2025 - Expanded Communication Channels

Your Printalogue storefront now supports additional messaging platforms including Zalo, Messenger, Viber, and more. Customers can reach you through their preferred communication app.

Advantage:
Meet your customers where they already are. Whether they use WhatsApp, Zalo in Vietnam, Viber in the Philippines, or Messenger across Asia, they can instantly connect with you. More communication options mean faster responses, better customer service, and higher conversion rates.

29 October 2025 - Smart Country Code Detection

Mobile number fields now automatically detect and apply the correct country code based on your currency setup, making phone number entry faster and error-free.

Advantage:
No more manual country code selection or formatting mistakes. The system intelligently matches your business location to set the right country code, speeding up checkout and reducing failed contact attempts. One less thing to configure!

29 October 2025 - Offline Payment Option

Your Printalogue storefront now supports offline payment methods. Customers can choose to pay via bank transfer, cash on delivery, or other offline methods when placing orders.

Advantage:
Reach more customers who prefer traditional payment methods. No more losing sales because someone doesn't have a credit card or prefers to pay in person. Flexible payment options mean more completed orders and happier customers across different markets.

29 October 2025 - Enhanced Review Display

Reviews on your Printalogue storefront now show more credibility-building details including reviewer name, location (detected via IP), and review date. We've also updated both the frontend and backend UI/UX for a cleaner, more professional look.

Advantage:
Build instant trust with potential customers. Detailed reviews with names, locations, and dates look more authentic and credible, helping visitors feel confident about placing orders. Plus, the improved interface makes managing and displaying reviews easier for you.

29 October 2025 - Multi-Language Dashboard Support

Your PriceCal dashboard now supports multiple languages including English, Malay, Chinese, Vietnamese, and more. Simply select your preferred language from the settings to view the entire interface in your chosen language.

Advantage:
Work in your native language for faster setup, easier team onboarding, and fewer mistakes. Perfect for our users across different regions.

29 October 2025 - Refreshed Component Dashboard

We've reorganized the component dashboard to make finding and managing your pricing components easier than ever.
What's New: The component dashboard now separates your components into three clear categories:

  • Core Components – Essential building blocks for your pricing system
  • System Components – Pre-built templates and automated modules
  • Custom Components – Your own created components tailored to your business

Advantage:
No more scrolling through a cluttered list! This new structure helps you quickly locate the exact component you need, whether you're setting up a new product or tweaking existing pricing rules. Save time, reduce confusion, and get your pricing configured faster.

24 June 2025 - Footer turn RED when logged in as Administrator.

Some subscribers let us know that it wasn’t always clear when they were logged in as Admin in Printalogue, which sometimes led to accidentally showing sensitive information—like cost and margin—to customers.

API

SC-Sheet calculates printing costs by determining the number of large sheets required based on material, size, printing method, and quantity.

For example, if a customer orders 1,000 business cards (89mm x 54mm), SC-Sheet calculates how many fit on a standard sheet, the total sheets needed, and the printing cost. Additional finishing like lamination or diecut is factored in separately, ensuring precise pricing while optimizing material usage and profitability.

CSV

CSV is the most flexible way to manage and price products with fixed options or variations that don’t require dynamic calculations. Ideal for products with pre-set combinations of attributes like size, material, finish, and quantity, CSV enables
printers to create custom pricing tables in Excel (CSV format). Once the table is computed, simply upload it into PriceCal, and our Price Calculator will convert it into a systematic selection, generating the price based on the chosen options.

For instance, when calculating the price for a roll-up standee, printers can set up variables like type (e.g., Standard, Deluxe), size (Small, Medium, Large), print method (Digital, Offset), and quantity (e.g., 1, 5, 10). These variables are then organized in a CSV file, and upon upload, the system will automatically generate the correct pricing based on the selected options.

What products are best suited for CSV?

  • Banners (Size, Material, Print Method, Quantity)
  • Packaging Boxes (Type, Size, Printing Method, Finishing)
  • Signage (Material, Size, Print Method, Quantity)
  • Stationery (Size, Material, Print Method, Quantity)
  • Promotional Products (Type, Design, Print Location, Quantity)

SC-Packaging

SC-Packaging is designed to handle pricing for packaging products such as boxes and cartons by calculating costs based on material, size, and finishing components. Through our strategic partnership with Pacdora, printers gain access
to a wide variety of box models, including double tuck boxes, auto-lock boxes, mailer boxes, and more.

This tool works similarly to SC-Sheet by calculating the open size of the selected box model and using the input dimensions to determine material usage, printing costs, and additional finishing. Components like gluing, die-cutting, and assembly costs can be seamlessly factored into the pricing

For example, if a customer orders 2,000 auto-lock boxes measuring 200mm x 150mm x 100mm, SC-Packaging will generate the total material required based on the box’s flat layout, calculate the printing and die-cutting costs, and include any finishing or assembly charges.

Exciting Benefits from Our Pacdora Partnership

Thanks to this collaboration, printers can now:

✅ Retrieve dielines instantly upon customer order.

✅ Offer customers access to Pacdora’s design studio to create and edit packaging
artwork effortlessly.

SC-Item

SC-Item is designed for pricing single-item print customization, making it ideal for products like apparel, drinkware, and promotional merchandise. Unlike other pricing tools, SC-Item allows for flexible order quantities across different variations, such as sizes, colors, and print locations.

For example, in t-shirt printing, customers can choose to print on the front, back, or sleeves and place an order with specific quantity breakdowns—20 Large, 10 Small, 15 Medium, etc. SC-Item calculates the cost based on the print locations, total quantity, and any additional customization options like embroidery, heat transfer, or DTF printing.

SC-Booklet

SC-Booklet is designed to generate precise pricing for multi-page products like booklets, catalogs, and magazines by calculating the material cost, printing method, and binding requirements. It determines the number of sheets required to fulfill an order based on the total number of pages, paper type, and sheet size. Additionally, SC-Booklet supports various binding methods, including saddle stitching and perfect binding, ensuring flexibility in product customization.

For example, if a customer orders 500 copies of a 32-page booklet, SC-Booklet calculates the number of large sheets needed based on the imposition layout. If the inner pages are printed on 150gsm matte paper and the cover on 300gsm glossy
paper, it determines how many sheets of each material are required and factors in the printing and finishing costs accordingly. The system also accommodates add-ons like spot UV, lamination, and special finishes.

SC-Area

SC-Area calculates printing costs based on the total print area (sq ft). When a user enters the length and width of the final print, SC-Area determines the total printable area and generates the cost accordingly. It also factors in additional finishing based on the perimeter, making it ideal for products that require eyelets, frames, or poles.

For example, if a customer orders a banner measuring 10ft x 3ft, SC-Area will calculate the total print area (30 sq ft) and generate the cost. If finishing options like eyelets every 2ft or a poles are added, SC-Area factors in these costs based on the perimeter. This tool is perfect for large-format prints such as banners, buntings, billboards, and signage, ensuring accurate pricing and seamless cost calculation.
