Why does the calculated plan area differ from the actual plan format for small formats?

For the calculation of the unit price, a minimum area is taken into account, which varies depending on the product and the agreed price. For plan plots and low unit prices, for example, a minimum area of 0.8m² applies. For list prices the minimum size is e.g. 0.5m². For other products, the applicable minimum area is specified in the price list.

The reason for charging a minimum area is that the work involved in creating the product, starting with the receipt of the order (order platform/project room), data processing, order control, delivery bill, packaging, delivery or postage and invoicing, is mostly independent of the format and the format is only relevant for paper consumption and folding. The minimum area thus covers the fixed costs of the service, while the area above covers the variable costs.
