For large format print shops

Quote it, print it, know what it made.

Plana knows your boards, vinyls and what they cost you, so every line on a quote is priced the same way, and every job shows its margin.

Sound familiar?

  • Two people quote the same banner two different prices.
  • Supplier price rises never make it into your quotes.
  • Print files get set up by hand, one at a time.

Your materials, priced from your suppliers

Each material has its sizes and options, the suppliers you buy it from, what they charge and your markup. Half-sheet charging is built in.

Print files made from the artwork

When artwork arrives on an item, Plana makes its print file: bleed added, the cut line redrawn for your cutter, and spot colours kept. You check it, or hand it to the AI when it needs more.

Questions

Can we load our supplier price lists?
Yes. Each material keeps the supplier items you buy, with their codes and prices, and remembers price changes over time.
What does it do with a customer's artwork?
It keeps every version on the item it's for, makes a preview, and can prepare the print file with bleed and cut lines for you to check.
Who can see prices and margins?
Owners and admins. Team members see the work without the money.
