Find out How Much More Money You Can Make when Polymark^® is Working for You

The two tables below give you a cost comparison of the labor intensive manual tagging shirts and by hanging tickets and matching shirts to tickets, to the automatic Polymark^® System. Production figures are national averages and use a base salary of $7.00 per hour. To arrive at a true labor cost, a 25% factor was added to include fringe benefits (FICA, Workers Compensation, Disability, Unemployment, etc.) bringing the hourly wage to $8.75.

Use the tables below to estimate your savings for changing to the Polymark^® System. The first table shows cost for using Tags and Staples and the second shows the cost plus savings by using the Polymark^® System.

If you labor costs differ from our assumptions, you can use the formulas listed below the tables to calculate your actual savings. Remember to add 25% to your labor costs for fringe benefits. Please feel free to contact Polymark if you would like us to calculate your savings.
