Procurement playbook
What moves the price
- Where your quantity sits against the 1/5/10/25/50/100/250/500 break points (just under a break is the expensive place to be)
- Substrate and weight
- Size and whether it nests on a standard sheet
- Quantity against print breaks
Check before signing
- Setup charged per SKU rather than once per design across a set
- Finishing like perf or adhesive added without disclosure
- Off-size pieces wasting sheet material
- Rush applied to a routine timeline
Negotiation levers
- Gang multiple SKUs on one run to share setup
- Standardize sizes to the printer's sheet
- Order to a natural break point
- Keep finishing simple unless the placement requires it
About letterhead, 8.5×14 pricing
Priced per unit with quantity breaks. Vendors quote steps at 1 / 5 / 10 / 25 / 50 / 100 / 250 / 500 units, and the per-unit rate drops at each break.
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.
