Bulk Discounts That Save More on Every Large Print Order
Order more and the price per piece falls at every tier. Standard flyers run 25 quantity tiers and postcards 40, each with its own per-piece rate. Print 500 business cards or 50,000 flyers, a larger order always means bigger savings on every single piece.
Automatic volume pricing covers the 1,000+ products in the 4OVER4 catalog. The per-unit cost falls as your quantity climbs, with no special account, no secret code, and no quote calls. The discount shows up at checkout on its own.
What bulk pricing changes
- Volume pricing is automatic. Order more and the per-unit price drops on its own. No account, no codes, no quote calls.
- Every product in the 1,000+ item catalog qualifies, from business cards and postcards to banners and stickers, and the catalog runs on 60+ paper types.
- Per-unit cost can fall 40 to 60% from a minimum order to a high-volume run, as fixed setup costs spread across more pieces.
- Business cards, postcards, and flyers show the steepest per-unit drops at higher quantities.
- Standard business cards drop from about 18 cents a card at 100 to about 2 cents at 10,000.
Cents per card, tier by tier
Bigger orders, lower cost per piece
One product shows the whole mechanism. 100 standard business cards cost $17.57, about 18 cents a card, and 1,000 cost $65.91, under 7 cents a card. The same curve runs through flyers, where 100 cost $57.11 and 10,000 cost $431.66, about 4 cents each.
How it works
Instant volume pricing, no waiting
The discount sits in the quantity menu: standard business cards step through 39 quantity tiers, postcards through 40 and flyers through 25, and the price per piece updates the moment you pick a higher one. There is no application process and no waiting for approval. You select your product, choose your specs, and bump up the quantity. The price per unit drops as you go higher.
Pick your product
Choose the product. Business cards, postcards, stickers, brochures, banners, whatever the job needs, all with volume pricing built in.
Customize your specs
Set your paper stock, finish, and size. The Instant Price Calculator updates the moment you change a selection.
Set your quantity
Drag the quantity slider or type your number. The per-unit price recalculates in real time and keeps dropping as you scale up.
Order, no approval needed
There is no application and no waiting for sign-off. Place your order at the price you see, with no hidden fees tacked on at the end.
The savings scale with quantity. A run of 250 postcards costs more per card than a run of 5,000, because setup and production costs get spread across more units. 4OVER4 passes those efficiencies straight to you. The price the calculator shows is the price at checkout.
The specs you control
Configure it, then watch the price move
Each step costs less than the last: 200 standard cards cost $23.07 and 300 cost $27.46, so the third hundred adds only $4.39. Stock, finish and size change the price, but not the shape of the curve.
Where it pays off most
Where bulk discounts make the biggest difference
Volume pricing pays most when you know the count months ahead. These four kinds of buyer get the most from it.
Recurring marketing campaigns
If you run seasonal promotions, event marketing, or direct mail, ordering in bulk saves money every single cycle. A restaurant printing 10,000 menus for the year pays far less per piece than ordering 2,500 every quarter. Plan ahead, and the savings add up fast.
Multi-location businesses
Running three locations, five, or twenty? Consolidating your print orders into a single bulk run cuts costs dramatically. Same design, same quality, one order. 4OVER4 prints on 60+ paper types, so you are not sacrificing options just because you are ordering more.
Event organizers and trade shows
Trade show season hits hard. You need banners, flyers, business cards, and brochures all at once. Ordering each product in higher quantities means your total spend drops a lot next to small-batch ordering. A conference coordinator printing 5,000 flyers and 2,000 brochures together saves more than splitting those into two separate small runs.
Startups stocking up
New businesses often underestimate how quickly they burn through print materials. A larger initial run of business cards or promotional postcards locks in a lower price. And with Free Proofs on your order, you can verify everything looks perfect before 4OVER4 runs the full batch. No money wasted on reprints.

What bulk discounts actually deliver
A real estate agency ordering 1,000 business cards on 32pt Ultra Thick stock pays $239.56, about 24 cents a card, against $108.87 for 200, about 54 cents a card. Scale that across a team of 15 agents, and the annual savings get big.
Postcards show the same curve: 5,000 cost $139.71, under 3 cents a card, which frees up budget for a heavier stock or a High Gloss UV coat. You are not choosing between quality and quantity. With bulk pricing, you get both.

Bulk orders vs small runs
What you are actually paying
Small print runs have their place. Need 50 cards for a quick meeting? Go for it. But if you know you will need more eventually, small runs cost you in the long term.
The reason is fixed cost. Every print job has fixed costs, like file prep, plate setup, and calibration. Those costs exist whether you print 100 pieces or 10,000. With a small run, the fixed costs get divided among fewer units, so each piece carries a heavier price tag.
Bulk discounts at 4OVER4 work because those fixed costs get spread thin across thousands of pieces. The result is a per-unit price that can drop by 40 to 60% when you jump from a minimum order to a high-volume run.
| Quantity | Per unit | Total | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 17.6¢ | $17.57 | · |
| 200 | 11.5¢ | $23.07 | 34% |
| 300 | 9.15¢ | $27.46 | 48% |
| 400 | 7.96¢ | $31.86 | 55% |
| 500 | 7.25¢ | $36.26 | 59% |
| 600 | 6.77¢ | $40.64 | 61% |
| 700 | 6.43¢ | $45.04 | 63% |

Our Story
Every run on this page, from 100 cards to 10,000 flyers, prints in the Queens plant two friends opened in 1999.
Partner With Innovators
They told us we were crazy. We don't want to be sane.
The Beginning
In 1999, Google was barely starting out. WiFi didn't exist. People were afraid of Y2K. And two best friends, second-generation immigrants and patent-holding engineers in Queens, New York, launched 4OVER4.COM as the second web-based printer in the entire United States.
The Innovation
4OVER4 was the first printer to introduce full-color printing with 24 to 48 hour turnaround. When the industry said it couldn't be done that fast, they did it anyway. No compromises, no excuses, just engineering.
25+ Years and Counting
Over 350 standard products. More than 6,000 possible combinations. 150,000+ businesses served, from solo freelancers to Google and the United Nations. A facility in Queens that still runs on vegetable inks and waterless presses, built that way from day one because it was the right thing to do.
