Question

What information do I need to provide to get an accurate quote from 4OVER4?

Answer

To get an accurate quote from 4OVER4, send a complete description of the job so the team can price it without follow-up questions.

  • Product type, such as brochures or cards, plus page count and binding method (saddle stitch or perfect bind) for booklets.
  • Quantity, or a few quantity tiers if you want price breaks compared.
  • Paper type and weight, for example 100lb gloss text or 16pt cover; 14pt gloss cover is a common default, and you can request a sample pack to feel stocks before committing, which helps most on finish-heavy jobs.
  • Finished dimensions in inches, including the flat and folded size if it applies.
  • Print specifications in standard notation: 4/4 for full color both sides, 4/0 for full color front with a blank back, 4/1 for full color front with a single-ink back. Call out any Pantone (PMS) colors that must be matched.
  • Finishes and special work: gloss, matte, soft-touch, or lamination, foil, spot UV, embossing, scoring, folding, perforation, rounded corners, drilling, binding, or variable data. Die-cutting and custom shapes can add a one-time die charge, so flag them early.
  • Product-specific details where they apply, such as window placement on envelopes, or shape, material, roll versus sheet supply, and hand or machine application for labels and stickers.
  • Delivery address and your in-hand date, so lead time and shipping are factored in.

A mock-up or print file makes the estimate even more accurate, since it lets the team confirm bleed, size, and color setup, and referencing a similar past order number helps match specs quickly. Many standard products also price instantly in the calculator on their product pages. Contact 4OVER4 with these details to request your quote; options and turnaround can vary by product and may change, so confirm the latest on the product page or with support.
