Made for Everyone Who Has to Answer "What Would That Cost Printed?"
If pricing a print means opening a supplier price list before you can start, this is what TronCalculator was built for.
Distributors and Sales Teams
You answer print-price questions several times a day, and every supplier structures its prices differently.
- Quantity breaks, setup and handling on every enquiry
- Print terminology that differs from one price list to the next
- Quotations waiting on whoever knows the lists best
Merchandise Operators
You need one way of pricing decoration across suppliers and customer channels.
- The same calculation logic behind the shop and the sales desk
- Supplier rules configured rather than remembered
- Pricing connected to enquiry and order workflows
Corporate Buyers and End-Customers
You are choosing the product and want the real price before asking anyone for it.
- Quantities and colour variants tried online
- Supported print positions and methods compared
- Visible price components before sending an enquiry

Why TronCalculator?
What the Calculation Actually Covers
TronCalculator calculates from the supplier's own data: print positions, technologies, dimensions, colour rules, quantity breaks and price components. The result follows the supplier's rules rather than an approximation of them.
Configured on the Product, Priced in Its Parts
The customer configures the product they are already looking at: colour variants and a quantity, the print position and the printing technology that supplier really has for it. The result is not a single figure, and it changes as soon as a supported parameter does.
- Positions and technologies come from supplier data, not from a fixed list
- More than one colour variant, each with its own quantity, in the same result
- Product cost, printing setup, printing and handling on their own lines
- Into the basket, or into an enquiry cart as a non-binding request

The challenges we solve
Every Supplier Prices Printing a Different Way
Answering "what would 250 of these cost with our logo on them" means finding the right price list and adding up two prices kept in two places.
One Price Depends on Six Other Things
Quantity, position, technology, size, colours and setup charges all move the price together.
All of them calculated together, in real time
The Price List Has to Be Found First
Someone has to find the supplier's document and read off the right quantity level.
Prices read from the supplier's own print data
The Customer Cannot Try Anything
A buyer who wants 500 instead of 250, or two colours instead of one, has to ask and wait.
Customers change the options and see the price
The Product and the Print Are Priced Apart
The item is priced in the catalogue and the decoration in a separate list.
Product, setup and printing in one price

How it works
From the Product Page to a Priced Configuration
The whole sequence happens in your shop. Nobody has to open a supplier's price list to answer the question.
Customer
Open the Calculation
From the product detail, the customer chooses to buy with printing, or to request a quote with printing.
Customer
Choose Product and Quantity
Colour variants are chosen and a quantity entered for each. That settles the product part of the price first.
Customer
Set Up the Print
The design is named, a logo uploaded or picked from the gallery and edited where needed, and the print position and technology chosen from what that supplier offers.
Customer
Read the Result
Product cost, setup, printing and handling appear on separate lines, with a unit price and a total. Change a parameter and the result is calculated again.
Together
Send It On
The configuration goes into the basket for the ordering process, or into an enquiry cart as a non-binding request that arrives already specified.
Where it runs
Two Places, the Same Supplier Rules
TronCalculator runs in two places. The supplier data and the calculation are the same in both, so the price is the same wherever it was worked out.
In every package
TronShop
The customer configures the product and the print on the product detail and reads the price there, before adding it to the basket or an enquiry.
What you gain
A shop can price printing from the day it opens, with no calculator to build and no supplier's pricing logic to reimplement.
See TronShopFrom Standard upwards
TronManager
The print price calculator works inside the offer itself, so a salesperson prices the decoration on the products they have just selected.
What you gain
The print cost is calculated where the margin, discount and VAT rules already are, so the customer gets one finished figure.

For suppliers
For Suppliers: This Is Integration Level 2
A distributor can only calculate your printing if your print data is in the platform. Putting it there is Level 2 of supplier integration. This is what it involves.
You send your print data
Print positions, maximum print sizes, numbers of colours and printing technologies for each product. Plus your set-up charges, quantity breaks and decoration prices. In whatever form you already have them.
We check it with you
We go through the data with your team and agree the exceptions and rules that your price list states in words rather than in numbers.
We configure your printing
We set up each printing technology and your pricing rules in the platform. This normally takes two to three weeks.
Distributors can calculate it
Your printing becomes an option in the shops and quoting tools distributors already use. Their customers configure the print, see the price and order.
Own printings
When the Print Prices Have to Be Your Own
Some suppliers do not print at all, some are not calculable yet, and your own products have no supplier behind them. In those cases your technologies, your prices and your print rules go into TronCalculator instead, and are used in TronShop and TronManager exactly as a supplier's are. There are three ways in, and the third combines with either of the first two.
Option
Your Own Technologies and Pricing Logic
Your print price list digitised in full — your technologies, your components and your calculation rules.
Any product priced by your own rulesWhy it matters
Your price list as you charge it
Setup, printing and handling charges are modelled the way they appear on your own quotations.
Print options you define
Positions, technologies, maximum print areas and colour limits, set per product to match how you actually produce.
Works with no supplier behind it
Textile importers who do not print, suppliers not yet calculable, and your own custom products.
What's included
Analysis of your price list
We go through your technologies and every component of them before anything is built.
Digitisation and import
Your technologies and prices become structured data inside TronCalculator.
Your calculation logic
The rules that turn quantity, colour count and print area into a price are implemented as you run them.
Effort & timeline
- Requires
- Your own print price list(priced by colour count or print area)
The fullest control, and the one that asks most of you: products with no print data need their options prepared first.Choose it when your price list cannot be bent to anyone else's logic.
Option
Your Prices on the Supplier's Logic
You keep the supplier's technologies and calculation, and put your own purchase prices behind them.
Your buying prices, the supplier's rulesWhy it matters
Nothing to prepare
The supplier's print options, positions and colour limits are already in the calculator and stay as they are.
One spreadsheet to fill in
We export every technology and component of the suppliers you choose, with the prices you buy at beside them.
Your figures do the calculating
From then on every print calculation for those suppliers runs on your prices rather than theirs.
What's included
Export of the supplier's technologies
Every technology and component of the suppliers you select, in one spreadsheet.
Import of your prices
Your completed figures go back into TronCalculator and replace the supplier's.
Applied everywhere it calculates
TronShop and TronManager both price that supplier's printing from your figures.
Effort & timeline
- Requires
- A supplier already in TronCalculator(their technologies and logic are reused)
The simpler and faster route, and it asks nothing of your product data.Your prices have to follow the supplier's technologies and pricing logic exactly.
Option
Override the Supplier's Print Options
An add-on that keeps the supplier's print data and changes only the parts that do not match your production.
Supplier data, corrected where it mattersWhy it matters
Keep what the supplier gives you
Everything already published stays in place, so you spend your time only on what needs changing.
Match your own production rules
Your real maximum areas and colour counts, under the names your team uses for them.
Mix your printing with theirs
Replace only the technologies you produce yourself and leave the rest with the supplier.
What's included
Parameter overrides
Maximum print area, maximum number of colours, and the naming of a position or a technology.
Technology redirects
Any supplier technology pointed at one of your own, where that one is implemented.
Positions switched off
Any supplier position or technology hidden from the calculator entirely.
Effort & timeline
- Requires
- A supplier already in TronCalculator(combines with either option above)
Built as an add-on rather than a route of its own, so the supplier's print data keeps doing the work it already does.Choose it when only a few limits or technologies are wrong for you.
This covers standard product branding — screen printing, pad printing, embroidery and the technologies like them, on promotional products and textiles. Printed paper products and comparable made-to-order logic are priced a different way and are not part of it.
