Print quotes look complicated but actually work out in a logical way.
Quantity and Unit Cost
More copies mean lower price per copy. We have fixed setup costs for setting up print (loading on press, mixing inks etc), which get spread over more copies as print run goes up. The cost of printing 250 copies and printing 500 copies is not likely to double.
Paper Weight and Stock
Paper weight and stock prices change depending on the material and how it is printed. A normal cover stock is printed on a 130gsm gloss stock which is cheaper than a 170gsm silk stock. If you require a leaflet that looks and feels more premium then this will need to be included in the price.

Full-colour, two-side printing will cost more than single colour, one-side printing. Also, designs that are packed with a lot of information and use a lot of ink will cost more to print. Folded Leaflet Printers Cheltenham is worth getting right.
Fold Style and Finishing
Bi-fold printed leaflets are generally cheaper than Gate fold or Z-fold printed leaflets as they require fewer folds to produce. Also, lamination and spot varnish can add a lot of value to simple printed leaflets and make them look and feel more quality.
