What to get right on a printing press quotation

  • Give prices at two or three quantities. Unit cost falls sharply with volume, and seeing it often turns 1,000 copies into 5,000.
  • Name the paper weight and finish on every line, so a cheaper stock cannot be substituted without the client noticing.
  • Start printing only after the client signs off a proof, and say that errors in an approved proof are theirs to pay for.

Questions people ask

Why should a print quotation list the paper weight?
Because it is most of the difference in price and feel. 115gsm and 170gsm flyers look alike in a quote that says only 'flyers'; naming the weight lets the client compare quotes fairly.
How long should a printing quote stay valid?
Paper is imported and its price follows the exchange rate, so keep it short; one to two weeks is common. Say the price is confirmed when the deposit is paid.
Can the client supply the design?
Yes. Say what file format and colour mode you need, and that you are not responsible for errors in artwork you did not prepare.
