Estimated comparison
Estimated annual difference—Enter assumptions to calculate
Planning estimate only. Excludes taxes, tooling, damage, financing, storage, labour changes and other project-specific costs unless entered above.
Interpretation
Economics depend on the loop, not only the box.
Usable cycles
Use a conservative service-life estimate supported by trials, handling conditions and loss history.
Return logistics
Include freight, consolidation, empty-pack cube, sorting and repositioning rather than treating return as free.
Cleaning & handling
Include inspection, cleaning, repair, storage and administration when those activities are required.
