Quantity breaks and print pricing explained

Print pricing can seem mysterious, especially when different printers quote very different amounts for the same job. Here is how our prices are built, what changes them and how to get good value from your order.

Flat per-copy pricing for paper

Many printers use quantity breaks – the more you order, the cheaper each copy. For our standard paper printing, we use a flat price per copy instead, so the maths is simple and you are not pushed into ordering more than you need:

  • A5 colour: R1.90
  • A4 colour: R4.00
  • A3 colour: R9.00
  • A4 black and white: R1.50

Double-sided printing costs more than single-sided; the product page shows the price for your selection.

Fixed-price products

Some products have a fixed price for a set specification: 500 business cards on 350gsm are R790 single-sided and R890 double-sided; pull-up banners are R1,450 (budget) and R1,850 (executive); a 2700 x 1400mm table cloth is R1,850. Other products show their prices online as you choose options.

What changes the price

  • Size and quantity – more paper and ink.
  • Paper or material – heavier, coated or specialty papers cost more.
  • Finishing – lamination, folding, binding, numbering and cutting.
  • Lead time – Economy is 10% less than Standard, Express 20% more, Same-day 30% more.
  • Design work – charged separately if you need help with artwork.
  • Delivery – quoted separately for your address.

Getting good value

  • Order only what you will use; with flat pricing there is no penalty for smaller runs.
  • Plan ahead and choose Economy – it is the simplest saving available.
  • Get your artwork right first time to avoid design charges and delays.
  • Combine items in one order to save on delivery.
  • For unusual jobs, request a quote with full details so the price is accurate.

Payment is by card through Yoco or EFT. Orders under R5,000 are paid in full; R5,000 or more needs a 65% deposit. See payment and proofing FAQ and bulk printing.

Ordering your printing: choose your options and quantity in the shop, upload a print-ready PDF and pay by card through Yoco or by EFT. Orders under R5,000 are paid in full before production; orders of R5,000 or more need a 65% deposit. Production starts once payment and approved artwork are both in. Collect from Shop L23, Rivonia Central (opposite NewsCafe Rivonia), Monday to Friday 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, or ask for delivery to be arranged and quoted.
