Print finishing is typically an optional service in the printing industry. Many customers choose to utilize print finishing options to enhance the quality and visual impact of their printed materials. Print finishing can include processes like lamination, spot UV coating, embossing, foil stamping, die-cutting, and more. These finishing techniques can improve the durability of printed materials, enhance their aesthetic appeal, aid in branding efforts, and provide functional benefits.
To accommodate the pricing and availability of print finishing options, PriceCal offers a finishing add-on pricing module. This module allows printers to specify the types of finishing options available for specific printed products, along with their associated costs. PriceCal will then automatically calculate and add the finishing costs to the printing prices, providing customers with a convenient way to order and customize their printed materials.
To begin setting up criteria for the Finishing Add-on, follow these steps:
- Log in to the PriceCal Dashboard.
- Navigate to the “Products” section.
- Select the desired product from the list and click on “Edit” to access its settings.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
- You will find a table specifically designed for setting up the Finishing Add-on fee.
- Configure the table to define the criteria for the type of finisishing and associated fees.
Once you have saved the settings, you can launch the frontend interface to verify if the add-on is accurately calculated and displayed.
