Print design and printing — business cards, flyers, brochures

Custom printing: business cards for an opening, flyers for a promo, a trade show brochure or wedding invitations. List the print run, format and paper in an order, and specialists will send you responses. Or choose a print shop or designer yourself: by prices, photos of work and client reviews.

How much printing costs

What affects the price

  • Print run and printing method

    The larger the print run, the lower the price per copy. Small runs are usually printed digitally, large ones on an offset press.

  • Paper and card stock

    Plain uncoated paper, coated paper for brochures or heavy designer card stock for business cards are materials with different prices per sheet.

  • Colors and sides

    Single- or double-sided, color or black-and-white printing, white or metallic ink on dark paper — each is priced differently.

  • Finishing after printing

    Lamination, spot varnish, foil stamping, die-cutting, and for brochures and catalogs folding or binding: every operation adds to the cost.

  • Ready layout or from scratch

    If there is no layout, design and typesetting are charged separately, and a multi-page catalog takes longer to lay out than a business card.

Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose who will do your printing

  1. 1

    Printed work in the portfolio

    A layout on screen and a printed brochure are not the same thing. Look for photos of finished pieces in the portfolio, not just layout images.

  2. 2

    Paper and finishing samples

    Paper weight and texture, lamination or foil are hard to picture from a name — ask to see samples or close-up photos of similar work.

  3. 3

    A proof before the run

    Colors on a monitor and on paper differ. If your brand colors matter, ask for a proof print before the whole run is printed.

  4. 4

    Who checks the layout

    Ask whether your file will be checked before printing — bleed, CMYK colors, fonts — and who will fix it if it is not print-ready.

  5. 5

    What the cost includes

    Ask whether trimming, packing and delivery of the run are included. And agree in advance on what happens if part of the run comes out defective.

What to put in the order

The more precise the description, the more precise the prices in responses.
  • What to print: business cards, flyers, a brochure, a catalog, stickers or labels

  • Print run and format — or the exact size if it is non-standard

  • Whether you have a print-ready layout or need design and typesetting

  • Paper or card stock, single- or double-sided, finishing needed: lamination, foil, die-cutting

  • For a brochure or catalog — the number of pages and the binding

  • When you need the finished run and whether it has to be delivered
