Question
Does printing on both sides of a product cost more than single-sided printing?
Answer
Yes. Printing both sides, noted as 4/4, generally costs more than printing a single side, noted as 4/0, because the second side uses additional ink and an extra pass through production. How much more depends on the product and its specs.
- 4/0 means full color on the front only, with a blank back.
- 4/4 means full color on both sides.
- The price gap varies by stock, size, and quantity.
- Compare quotes for both options to see the exact difference.
