BREAK POINTS
 Break Points are useful for determining the most economical purchase quantity. For example, for a job requiring 380 sheets of a paper that is packed 500 sheets per package, the "break point" is 334 sheets and it is more economical to buy a full package of 500 sheets than a broken package amount of 380 sheets.

The following formula can be used to calculate a Break Point:
Carton Price X Package or Carton Quantity = Breaking Point
