ROI Analysis: How Fast Does an FFG Pay for Itself?
Mid-Range FFG Scenario ($180,000 investment)
- Production: 200 boxes/min × 60 min × 8 hrs × 2 shifts = 192,000 boxes/day
- Margin per box: $0.18 (after labor, glue, energy, and overhead)
- Daily net: $34,560
- Annual net (250 days): $8,640,000
- Payback period: Under 2 months at full utilization
- At 60% utilization: ROI in 3–4 months
Key ROI Variables
- Box complexity: RSC (regular slotted container) runs faster than die-cut specialty boxes
- Batch size: Larger orders reduce changeover downtime (2-min changeover on high-speed models)
- Local labor costs: Labor represents 8–15% of per-box cost depending on region
- Raw material: Corrugated sheet cost is the dominant variable; local sourcing reduces input cost
Entry-Level FFG Quick Payback
- Investment: $95,000 (entry-level 2-color, 100 bpm)
- Daily output: 48,000 boxes (single shift, 100 bpm)
- Daily margin: $8,640 (@ $0.18/box)
- Payback: ~11 working days at full capacity
