Video transcript

  1. 0:00Same artwork, three printers, prices that differ by multiples.
  2. 0:05Usually each priced a different job. Every quote is one-time setup plus per-unit cost. Budget on landed cost per usable code, after spoiled or duplicate codes are removed.
  3. 0:17Quantity divides setup, so doubling it never halves the price; ask for three quantity breaks. Size the panel to the data; custom shapes need a new die.
  4. 0:28A basic panel is varnish plus one silver pass; security builds add layers, each needing ink and curing. Specify a light, scratch and tape test.
  5. 0:39Low quotes often skip code-file work and verification: each code read before covering, a reconciliation report. Freeze one spec sheet for all.
  6. 0:50Rolls feed applicators; hand-applied sheets move labor to you.
  7. 0:55Send volume, size and what's hidden; we quote line by line.
