Hi there, We're after 5,000 product labels for our bottle range. 75mm × 100mm, clear vinyl, full colour, waterproof. We'd want them on rolls so we can run them through our labeller. Could you let me know turnaround and price? We can send artwork by tomorrow. Cheers, Mara

Your template, your signature, your turnaround language. MaxPax fills in the priced bit.
Restraint, by design
Some sticker enquiries are creative starters, not quotable specs. MaxPax knows the difference.
Hey, We're a cycling club looking to print stickers for the team. Probably around 200 to start, custom shape (our logo cut out), waterproof since they'll go on bikes and bottles. Open to suggestions on material. What do you think? Thanks, Jake
MaxPax reads this as a creative brief. Custom shapes need die-cut setup, the customer wants advice on material, and 200 units sits at the lower bound where setup costs dominate. The email lands in your review queue with a note: "Quote not sent. Custom die, material to be recommended, low-volume run." You reply when you can talk through the die cost and recommend a material for outdoor use.
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 stickers and labels the way your shop already does.
01
Paper, vinyl, clear vinyl, white vinyl, holographic, kraft, removable, waterproof, freezer-grade. Each one is priced differently, and the customer usually names the one they want by feel rather than by your SKU. MaxPax maps their words to your sheet's options.
02
Square stickers are one price. Rounded corners are another. Custom die-cut shapes add a setup line, then a per-piece line. Your sheet already knows this. MaxPax reads which shape the customer asked for and pulls the rows for that shape.
03
A craft maker on Etsy and a national consumer brand send remarkably similar emails. The pricing rows are ten apart on your sheet. MaxPax reads the quantity and pulls the right break, even when the customer doesn't know which one they're on.
What your customer sees
You are on the press. You have not seen the enquiry arrive. Here is what shows up on Mara'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. Mara 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 material to recommend for an outdoor sticker. It does not assume the per-sticker cost of upgrading from white vinyl to clear vinyl, the surcharge for a custom die, or the standing discount you give the cafe roastery that orders product labels every quarter. 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, material, shape, and finishing 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, is what goes into the reply. The AI never invents a material, never rounds the size, never picks a shape the customer did not name. The math is yours.
This matters when vinyl prices change in March and every quote from Monday needs the new rate. Or when you trial a free die-cut setup for new consumer-brand customers and want every quote to use it. Or when the kombucha brand on King Street earns a 15% standing discount you do not want recorded anywhere except on the sheet. 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.
