The low-cost consumables, which are usually printing packaging boxes suitability or products that do not match production technologies, will inevitably cause more time in the production process to deal with problems caused by these inappropriate products. The explicit cost actually paid is low, but the implicit cost (cost of losing time efficiency) is obviously increased. Moreover, the proportion of consumables used in gift packaging box making processing is insignificant compared to the time efficiency gains. Therefore, this way of reducing costs is not worth the candle.

According to some industry estimates, materials such as rubber rollers, fountain liquids, car wash water, and other chemicals account for no more than 1.5% of the whole cost for making a paper box. However, these materials have a significant impact on product quality and production efficiency. This is the so-called big value of small cost.
