What are the cost components of PET dumb silver thermal label paper?

The cost composition of PET dumb silver thermal label paper mainly includes the following aspects:

1. Cost of raw materials

PET substrate: PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is the main substrate of matte silver thermal label paper, and its cost is affected by market supply and demand, crude oil price fluctuations and production processes. High-quality PET substrates are relatively expensive, but ensure the durability and stability of the label paper.

Matte silver coating material: The matte silver coating gives the label paper a unique matte silver appearance, and its cost includes the cost of raw materials such as matte silver pigments and adhesives. The cost of these materials is also subject to market supply, demand and price fluctuations.

Thermal coating materials: Thermal coating is a key part of the realization of thermal printing function, and its cost includes the cost of thermal coating and the associated production process costs.

2. Production and processing costs

Equipment depreciation and maintenance: The production of label paper needs to use a variety of equipment such as coater, printing press, slitter, etc. The depreciation costs and daily maintenance costs of these equipment are an important part of the production and processing costs.

Labor cost: In the production process, operators need to monitor, adjust and maintain, and labor cost includes wages, benefits, training and other expenses. As labor costs rise, the proportion of labor costs in the total cost may gradually increase.

Energy cost: The production process needs to consume electricity, steam and other energy, energy cost is affected by the energy price and the efficiency of the production process. Improving production efficiency and reducing energy consumption is one of the important ways to reduce production costs.

3. Management and operating costs

Administrative expenses: including the salaries, office expenses, travel expenses of the management personnel of the enterprise. Although these expenses do not directly participate in the production process, they have an important impact on the overall operational efficiency and cost control of the enterprise.

Sales expenses: including marketing, advertising, sales channel construction expenses. With the intensification of market competition, the proportion of sales expenses in the total cost may gradually increase.

Financial expenses: including interest expenses, exchange losses and other expenses related to the operation of funds. Enterprises need to arrange financial structure reasonably according to their own financial conditions and capital needs to reduce financial costs.

4. Packaging and transportation costs

Packaging material cost: The label paper needs to be packed before leaving the factory to protect the product from damage. The cost of packaging materials includes the cost of packaging supplies such as cartons and plastic bags.

Transportation costs: The label paper needs to pay transportation costs from the production place to the sales place, including freight, handling fees, etc. The level of transportation costs is affected by the distance of transportation, the mode of transportation (such as land transportation, sea transportation, air transportation) and the market supply and demand relationship.

5. Taxes

Value-added Tax: According to the national tax policy, the sale of goods is subject to VAT. The VAT rate varies according to the type of goods and the type of taxpayer.

Other taxes: May also include city maintenance and construction tax, education fee surcharge and other related taxes.

In summary, the cost composition of PET dumb silver thermal label paper is a complex and comprehensive process, involving raw material procurement, production and processing, management and operation, packaging and transportation as well as taxes and other aspects. Enterprises need to optimize the production process, improve production efficiency, reduce energy consumption and labor costs and other measures to reduce production costs and improve market competitiveness. At the same time, with the change of market environment and policy environment, enterprises also need to adjust the cost composition strategy in time to adapt to the new market situation.
