Ask most print shops for a bulk price and you’ll wait for an email back. We’d rather just explain how it works so you can see it for yourself in the configurator.
Why price per piece drops as quantity goes up
Two costs go into any printed order:
- Setup cost - preparing the screen, film, or plate for your specific design. This is a fixed cost, whether you order 10 pieces or 200.
- Per-unit cost - the blank product itself, plus the ink and labor to print each one.
The setup cost gets spread across every piece in the order. At 10 pieces, that fixed cost is a big chunk of what you’re paying per item. At 200 pieces, it barely moves the needle. That’s the entire mechanism behind bulk pricing, there’s no separate “discount code” or negotiation involved.
Why this matters when you’re planning an order
If you’re close to a quantity break, ordering a few more can sometimes work out cheaper overall than ordering fewer. Our configurator shows the per-piece and total price live as you adjust the quantity, so you can see exactly where those breakpoints land for your specific product and design, rather than guessing.
What doesn’t change the price
Reordering the exact same design later still requires new setup (screens and film aren’t kept indefinitely), so a reorder is priced the same way as a first order of that size. If you’re planning to reorder the same design regularly, mention it when you order and we’ll let you know if there’s anything worth doing differently.
The short version
Bigger order, lower price per piece, and you don’t need to ask us to find out how much lower. Configure it and see the number.
