Size can define the success of your print project. How well does it fit in a bag, pocket or hand?
Can it be spotted on the shelf amidst its peer group? Will your readers knock out the person sat next to them on the bus when they turn the pages?
Take a look at the sections below, pick the number of copies you are thinking of ordering and our tips will guide you through what is achievable and most friendly on your budget.
Standard paper sizes are ALOT cheaper if you are ordering upto 30 copies. If you are on a budget then sticking to A5, A4 or 210x210mm will help your wallet.
• A5 Portrait is the same price as A5 Landscape.
• A5 booklets are actually cheaper than A6 booklets for under 30 copies.
• A4 Landscape and A3 Landscape requires a larger press and even for a few copies the cost will be in the hundreds. As a much cheaper alternative go for A4 Portrait or A5 Landscape.
• A3 Portrait is very expensive for these small runs (the cost would be £400+).
The unit prices now become more level across the board with bespoke sizes a similar price to standard sizes.
How will increasing the size effect my price?
• A6 is one price bracket.
• Larger than A6 but upto and including A5 is another price bracket. (ie: you are thinking of going for a bespoke size larger than A6 but not quite A5 size - any size between A6 and A5 will be the same price).
• Likewise larger than A5 but upto and including A4 is the same price.
-----
• A5 Portrait is the same price as A5 Landscape since we can get the same number of pages on a sheet.
• A4 and A3 Landscape Booklets require a larger press but for 30 to 500 copies the unit price isn't such a strain on your bottom line.
• A3 Portait Booklets have to be litho printed and are only possible on quantities of 250 upwards.
Congratulations, your project has reached a larger market and our litho presses will be used for this longer run. The higher set up costs of litho printing are not as noticeable with your longer print run. This in turn brings your unit price right down to a more commercially viable level.
• A6, A5 and A4 sizes are still a good fit for our presses but
if you are looking for a size between A5 and A4 then we recommend 240x168mm.
• Depending on the number of pages and quantity you can expect your unit price to fall to between 50p and a few pounds. The more you order, the cheaper your unit price
will be.
