Capacity planner · assumptions you can inspect
Three workloads. Separate counts.
Compare scenarios independently. If the moving kits use the label pool, their labels are part of that pool; do not add both counts as separate demand.
Moving kits
12,000 labels21 packs with 5% extra stock: $377.16.
41.7 hands-on hours · $1,042.71 at $25/hour, including 10% time reserve.
This exceeds the selected label pool by 2,000 labels.

Fits within the pair’s assumed 320-hour monthly schedule; actual production time still needs measurement.
Read the planning assumptions
Avery 22805: 24 labels/sheet, 25 sheets/pack, $17.96/pack. Stock gets a 5% extra allowance, rounded up to complete sheets/packs. Moving kits: 48 labels, 9.1 minutes hands-on plus 10% reserve, $25/hour before payroll burden. Parts: 25 g and 30 minutes each, plus 20% material/time; two printers at 160 scheduled hours each per month. No measured capacity, ink/toner consumption, retail price or margin is asserted.
Three independent workloads
The planner above keeps labels, 48-label moving kits and printed parts separate. Selecting a volume is a planning exercise; it does not reserve stock or establish measured capacity. If moving kits draw from the label pool, subtract their labels from that pool instead of adding them twice.
The label calculation uses Avery 22805 at $17.96 per pack of 600, 24 labels per sheet and 25 sheets per pack. It adds 5% extra planned labels for setup/reject stock and rounds up to complete sheets and packs. This reserve is a purchasing assumption, not a guaranteed 95% production yield.

The operating budget still needs measured consumption
A kit’s 48 labels consume about $1.44 of face stock before extra stock. Toner, card, sleeve, labor, overhead, outbound shipping and support are additional. Whole-pack purchasing cash differs from the material actually consumed. The invitation budget carries stock for 250 pieces and 300 provisional mailers; those mailers do not fit unfolded Letter moving-kit sheets.
The selected laser printer’s replacement toner set still needs a valid quote and a final-art coverage measurement. The Epson opening replacement set is budgeted at $151.74; this is one set, not a monthly ink forecast. Measure printed coverage and cleaning consumption. Do not translate advertised test-page yields directly into TAGD kits.
The moving-kit labor model is 1.5 minutes load/retrieve, 3 minutes inspect/reconcile, 2 minutes collate, 2 minutes pack and 0.6 minute allocated batch setup: 9.1 minutes per kit, plus 10% time reserve. The illustrative $25/hour excludes payroll burden and design/support. Validate the inspection method and actual time before setting a price.
The model assumes a 25 g part taking 30 minutes, plus 20% extra material and scheduled time. It omits geometry-specific supports and multicolor waste. The planner compares two machines at 160 scheduled hours each per month; available operator coverage and measured bed utilization determine the real limit. Material-only cost is not finished-part cost.
What to record before pricing
For every product, keep landed stock cash, consumed materials, labor, machine-hours, rejects, packaging, delivery, maintenance, software/support and expected returns. Allocate equipment depreciation and room overhead across realistic accepted units. A retail price or margin is not established by these planning inputs. Reconcile one measured batch before quoting dependable unit economics.
