Question
Do larger quantities get lower per-unit printing costs?
Answer
Yes for printing, but not for every fee. The printing cost per unit drops as your quantity rises because setup is spread across more pieces. Processing and mailing fees, however, are charged the same regardless of how many you order.
| Cost | Behavior with higher quantity |
|---|---|
| Printing per unit | Decreases as volume grows |
| Processing fees | Stay the same |
| Mailing fees | Stay the same |
So a larger run lowers your printing cost per piece, but budget for the flat processing and mailing charges separately when you compare quantities.
