Run your press smarter with xPress ERP

xPressERP is a specialised Printing & Packaging ERP / MIS for offset presses and packaging units. Manual print estimation is slow and error-prone — jobs involve DTP/designing, plate making, printing, coating, lamination, binding, cutting, and finishing, each with different rates and waste factors.

xPressERP replaces spreadsheet guesswork with structured calculations so your team can prepare accurate cost sheets, quotations, job tickets, and paper plans in minutes — flexible, affordable, and built for real press-floor workflows.

The product was designed by print industry professionals with long experience in print calculations (industry involvement since 1981). It is ideal for:

• Offset printing presses (commercial & packaging)
• Box / carton / corrugated packaging converters
• Book, magazine, and publication printers
• Stationery and calendar manufacturers
• Finishing units that need process costing and job tickets

xPressERP is built around everyday press work, including:

• Box packaging — folding carton / packaging jobs with die-line & nesting
• Books & magazines — multi-section work with binding cost options
• Stationery & calendars — commercial and seasonal print runs
• Single-sheet & multi-sheet — posters, leaflets, and complex sheet jobs
• Reel-to-sheet — reel consumption, conversion, and wastage visibility
• Cutting & finishing — trim, cut, coat, laminate, and related processes

You enter job parameters (size, quantity, colours, paper, process stages), and the system builds a full cost structure across prepress, press, and post-press. Typical stages covered include DTP/designing, plate making, printing, coating, lamination, and binding.

Calculations can use bases such as area (e.g. per 100 sq. inches) or impressions (e.g. per 1000 impressions), with rate, area/weight, and process totals so estimators see both unit cost and job cost clearly.

The Cost Sheet gives a detailed breakdown of every cost element in a job — materials, press time, plates, finishing, outsourcing, and margins. It helps sales and production agree on numbers before a quotation is issued, and reduces disputes later on the shop floor.

Yes. xPressERP includes eight types of book-binding calculations. For each binding style you can review cost-per-unit and total binding cost, compare options, and lock the method that matches the customer order — useful for notebooks, perfect-bound books, and publication work.

Post-press costing supports process tables with configurable bases (area or impressions), rates, and related parameters. This lets you cost coating, lamination, and other finishing steps with the same discipline as press work — instead of adding rough “lump sum” finishing charges.

For each job, xPressERP calculates how much paper you need in sheets and reels, including planned waste. It shows stock status for common grades such as Maplitho 80 GSM, Art Card 210 GSM, and other papers you configure.

That means stores and estimators work from the same numbers — fewer last-minute paper shortages and clearer purchase planning.

Yes. The Automated Die-line from Box Size tool creates a flat packaging layout from length, width, and height inputs. This speeds up carton estimation and helps production visualise the blank before die-making or nesting.

Interlock nesting arranges carton blanks efficiently on the sheet to reduce waste. xPressERP supports interlocking nested keyline generation and related costing, including:

• Die cost
• Box paper cost
• Trimming & stripping
• Salvage / recovery gain

This is especially valuable for packaging converters focused on material yield.

Yes. Die Cost Generation helps you estimate cutting-die cost as part of packaging jobs, so quotations include tooling correctly instead of treating dies as an afterthought.

After estimation, you can issue a formal Quotation to the customer. Once the job is confirmed, Automated Job Ticket Generation creates production instructions for the press floor — so sales numbers and shop-floor work stay aligned.

• Outsourcing Purchase Order — manage work sent to outside vendors (e.g. special finishing, binding, or capacity overflow) with clear process and cost tracking.
• In-House Process Order — control internal process steps on your own machines and departments, stage by stage.

Together they give visibility whether a process runs inside your plant or outside.

Yes. xPressERP supports GST-compliant Delivery Challans and Invoices, so delivery and billing documents match Indian tax practice. This reduces rework between production, dispatch, and accounts.

Job Master for all PDF helps you organise and manage PDF assets linked to jobs — useful when design files, proofs, and production references must stay with the correct job record.

Core modules include:

• Cost Estimation
• Cost Sheet
• Paper Requirement & Stock Status
• Quotation
• Job Ticket
• Outsourcing Purchase Order
• In-House Process Order
• Die-line Generation from Box Size
• Interlocking Nested Keyline Generation
• Die Cost Generation
• GST Delivery Challan & Invoice
• Job Master for PDF

Yes. You can request a live demo of your typical jobs (box, book, sheet work, etc.), or start with a short free trial (commonly offered as a few days of usage after registration) so your estimators can try real calculations.

Generic ERPs rarely understand print math. Spreadsheets break when jobs get complex. xPressERP is:

• Print-specific — estimation, die-line, nesting, binding, paper & waste
• End-to-end — from cost sheet → quotation → job ticket → GST documents
• Fast — complete ERP/MIS workflows in minutes, not hours
• Practical — flexible and affordable for growing presses
