🧰 Materials & add-ons — live from your master sheet (optional)
Tick any material to add it to this quote. Each adds qty × rate, and (like every other cost line) flows through overhead + margin + GST. Rates are live from MATERIAL_RATES; quantity is per job.
NKK sir: default varies by product (card/tag/leaflet 15–20%, brochure/catalogue 30–40%). Once you type, this stays fixed.
NKK sir: reprint jobs reuse existing plates → cost drops to a handling fee (~10%). Fresh printing still charged.
NKK sir: small VCards / tags run ganged with other jobs on one plate + sheet. This job pays only its share (default 25%) of plates + printing + paper. Auto-ticked for cards ≤500 pcs.
Type a target price → auto-sets margin so grand ≈ target.
Auto-populates for cards/letterheads/tags based on sir's rate card. Overwrite anytime.
Floor for short runs (menu quote = max of rate×qty and this). Cards auto-set ₹500.
NKK sir: overhead removed from estimate — add manually if needed
