Printing has fixed setup costs — file prep, press or plate setup, and make-ready — that happen once no matter the quantity. Spreading that setup across more pieces lowers the cost of each one, which is why 500 almost always beats 100 per unit.
It varies by product and process, but the per-piece price often drops sharply at the first few quantity breaks, then levels off. Enter two scenarios to see the difference, and ask us where the breaks fall for your specific job.
If you’ll reuse the piece, a larger run often costs little more per unit and saves a second setup later. We’ll help you find the quantity that balances cost against what you’ll actually use.
