Material choice is an important factor of cost. Printing on premium materials like thick acrylic, glass, or specialty metals tend to be more expensive than printing on foam board or corrugated plastic. The size of the material plays a role, along with the warping.

The more ink required for your design, the higher the cost. Full-bleed, vibrant images with high color density will use more ink than simple text or sparse graphics. Using specialty additional top coats for extreme durability, also adds to the price due to material cost and potentially slower print times.

Larger prints require more ink, increasing costs. However, economies of scale often apply; printing multiple identical (or similar) items in a single run can reduce the per-unit cost compared to printing a single piece.

Does your project require cutting, routing, lamination, mounting, or special packaging? Each of these additional services will contribute to the overall cost. We outsource this to local craftsman who are excellent in their specialty fields.

If your design files are not print-ready, or your do not have one (just an idea), not to worry, we have in house designers for this but you might incur charges for graphic design services or file preparation. Providing high-quality, properly formatted files can save you money in the long run.

Need your project yesterday? Rush orders often come with an additional premium due to re-prioritizing schedules and potential overtime. Planning ahead can help you avoid these extra fees.
