If you have a printing company that has only walk-in, one-time customers, then a simple Database or price list will probably do. Otherwise, you need a great estimating program like Print Management Solutions.
A great estimating program will allow you to do a one-time setup to program the parameters for each individual customer.

A typical commercial printer will have multiple people who do estimates. The system will help to ensure each estimator will be using the same parameters for the customer selected and come up with the same price. If a customer receives different pricing on orders with similar specifications, they may become suspicious of your company’s ethics. And they may move on to another printer.
If you have a commercial printing company running sheetfed offset, web offset, digital or wide format digital equipment, then hopefully you do have many repeat customers. Each customer is unique in their needs and expectations. Their needs, expectations, and their ability to provide quality computer ready files and materials will also have an impact on your cost to produce the print order.
