Question
What's the difference between digital and offset printing for business orders?
Answer
Both methods deliver sharp, accurate color, so the real difference is quantity and setup cost, not quality. Digital shines on short runs, offset takes over at volume.
| Method | Best quantity | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Digital | Roughly 50 to 500 | Fast setup, cost-effective for small batches |
| Offset | 1,000 and up | Higher setup, but per-unit cost drops sharply at volume |
- Choose based on how many pieces you need and your budget.
- For repeat large orders, offset usually wins on price per card.
