For Flyers
Flyer enquiries arrive at 9pm the night before an event. MaxPax reads them, prices them from your sheet, and replies while you sleep — so you're the shop that got back first.

And the reply that goes out
MaxPax does not invent a new email format. The reply lands in your customer's inbox the way your own replies always have, signed off in your name.

Your template, your signature, your turnaround language. MaxPax fills in the priced bit.
Restraint, by design
Not every flyer enquiry has a number in it. MaxPax is built to know when to hand the email back to you.
Hi there, We're running a market on the first weekend of next month and need flyers to hand out at our usual spots. Probably a few thousand. Not sure on the size yet, maybe a half-sheet? Open to your suggestions. What kind of price are we looking at? Cheers, Mel
MaxPax reads this as a consult, not a quote. The quantity is approximate. The size is open. The customer wants a recommendation, not a number. The email lands in your review queue with a note: "Quote not sent. Customer is asking for advice on size and stock." You reply when you have a minute to think about what fits the run.
Why MaxPax
Generic print quoting software assumes every print job looks the same. It doesn't. MaxPax uses your own pricing sheet as the source of truth — so it quotes flyers the way your shop already does.
01
Event organisers, promoters, and small businesses email on evenings and weekends. The shop that replies at 10pm Sunday usually wins the job.
02
1,000 vs 2,000 vs 5,000 of the same flyer hits different price points on your sheet. MaxPax reads the requested quantity and pulls the right break every time — no manual lookup, no arithmetic errors.
03
Win the first flyer run and you usually win the next three. Fast quotes on the first enquiry is what buys that relationship.
What your customer sees
You are on the press. You have not seen the enquiry arrive. Here is what shows up on Tom's end.
One paragraph in plain English. The kind of email your shop gets every day.
Same address as the enquiry. Your signature. The spec read back correctly. The total itemised. The turnaround named. About a minute, start to finish. Tom has not had time to open a second tab.
"Looks great, please proceed." That reply lands in your inbox. The next thing you do is start the job, not work out a price.
You see all of this in your sent folder later, exactly as if you had typed each reply yourself.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A plain-English blurb describing what this product is. MaxPax uses it to route incoming emails to the right product, even when the customer uses different words for the same thing.
OUTPUT
The single cell on your sheet that holds the final price. MaxPax writes the inputs above into your sheet, lets it calculate, and reads this cell back.
Why this works
MaxPax does not decide what counts as "standard" stock at your shop. It does not assume the per-flyer cost of an upgrade from 150gsm to 250gsm, the surcharge for matt lamination, or the rush rate you charge when the event is three days away. Your sheet does all of that, and it always has.
What MaxPax does is mechanical and narrow. It reads the enquiry. It writes the quantity, size, stock, and sides into the input cells you nominated on your sheet. It waits for the sheet to recalculate. It reads the output cell. That number, whatever it is, goes into the reply. The AI never invents a price, never rounds, never adds a markup of its own. The math is yours.
This matters when paper prices change in October. Or when you decide to drop the 1,000-unit break to 500 for the holiday rush. Or when the gallery on Argyle Street earns a 10% standing discount you have not yet written down. You open the sheet, change the formula, save. The next quote runs on the new number. No ticket to us. No new version of MaxPax. No waiting. The sheet you keep is the sheet that runs your shop.
