Energy is a bigger cost than most printing & packaging realize
Printers and packaging plants run presses, dryers, compressors and finishing equipment for long production shifts.
In a deregulated market, the supply charge — typically more than half your bill — is competitive. That’s the part USA Energy puts out to bid across 26+ suppliers, locking the lowest fixed rate for the longest sensible term while your utility keeps delivering the power. It costs you nothing: the supplier pays us, never you.
What it costs
What printing & packaging typically spend on power
A typical printing & packaging operation runs about 30,000–300,000 kWh per month. At the U.S. average commercial rate, that’s roughly $4,176–$41,760 in energy alone — before delivery and demand charges. The supply piece is what we shop.
Estimates at 13.92¢/kWh (latest EIA data). See average bills by business type and rates for your state.
What drives your bill
Press and dryer demand
Presses and dryers create demand peaks while long shifts build steady consumption. We shop your supply charge across suppliers and lock a fixed rate so a hot summer doesn’t squeeze already-thin margins.
