CHEAPEST PRINTING

[dafcjim]

Hi, just wondered if anybody knew who was the cheapest online for printing flyers etc?
I always went local as much as I can but my suppliers prices have gone up 20%.

I have found one so far but I wondered if anybody had any tips
2000 A5 leaflets £30.58 incl VAT which is £28 cheaper then my old supplier.

thanks

A friend of mine runs a printing company, his energy costs and material costs have all gone through the roof. I mean literally astronomical, so it is no surprise your local suppliers prices have gone up 20%.

Comparing printing isn't always apples with apples. Print quality, paper quality, all play a part.

We are magazine designers and concur that there has been a continued price hike. This is mainly driven by the increased cost of production due to the rising energy costs but also the rising cost of pulp and cost of transportation.
It is not going to get better anytime soon.

I have a print company and the paper prices alone have been increasing on an almost monthly basis for the past 12 months or more. That’s without thinking about energy costs etc.

I have to say, OP, I wouldn’t even switch my press on for the kind of price you’ve found online so I couldn’t imagine you finding a better price than you already have. Just make sure you understand the paper thickness and double check they’re A5. Even the trade suppliers I know charge more than that.

You need to decide on the paper weight, colour, b/w, single or double sided, and your targeted client. No good delivering cheap toilet paper leaflets on luxury estates.

Interesting talking to a local business here yesterday that supplies the print trade energy costs going from 65k to 285k. Personally I think any business that has not increased their prices this year will probably not be around for Christmas.
