What moves the price
Where your quantity sits against the 1/5/10/25/50/100 break points (just under a break is the expensive place to be) Material, paper vs vinyl, indoor vs outdoor, and laminate Size and shape, with custom die cuts adding tooling Quantity against print breaks Check before signing
A one-time die or cutting charge billed per order instead of once A cheaper material substituted for the durability you need Lamination dropped from an outdoor spec Quantity priced below an easy break point Negotiation levers
Standardize shapes to avoid custom dies Gang multiple designs on one run to share setup Right-size the material to the use rather than over-speccing Order to the next break when usage supports it About labels / stickers – rectangle pricing
Priced per unit with quantity breaks. Vendors quote steps at 1 / 5 / 10 / 25 / 50 / 100 units, and the per-unit rate drops at each break.
Why is a die charge on my quote? Custom shapes need a cutting die, a one-time tooling cost. Reordering the same shape should reuse it at no new charge.
Does indoor or outdoor material matter for price? Yes. Outdoor vinyl and laminate cost more than indoor paper. Match the material to the use so you neither overpay nor under-spec.
Tracked variants
The same product family is tracked in 280mm stock, 297mm stock, 100mm stock. Quotes are NOT interchangeable across variants, so match the spec before comparing.
