About business card, 3.5×4 pricing
Priced per unit; vendors typically quote against a primary quantity around 250 units.
Why is setup on every line of my shelf-sign order?
It should not be. Setup is per design and per print run, not per SKU when pieces share a run. Ask to consolidate.
How do I get shelf collateral cheaper?
Gang designs onto one sheet and standardize sizes. Most of the cost in short pieces is setup and material waste, not the printing.
