Question

Can I outsource small print runs or is it only for large quantities?

Answer

Small runs are absolutely worth outsourcing. Digital printing has made short quantities cost-effective, so you no longer need a huge order to get professional-quality results.

  • Many products can be ordered in quantities as low as 25 to 50 pieces.
  • Per-unit cost is higher on small runs, but the quality far exceeds office equipment.
  • Short runs are ideal for testing a design before committing to a large order.
  • They also work well for events, limited promotions, and frequently updated materials.

If you are unsure about a design, a small run lets you prove it in the real world before scaling up.
