Mailers & Cards

This was the Christmas newsletter we did this year (though its not really a newsletter format, it fit our theme for the year). It has three panels of increasingly larger cards printed on 80 lb. matte, the largest being 8 X 3 3/4 in. Then it flips open, pivoting on a decorative brad in the corner. Even at low quantities (100) we were able to print this for $.39/each, cuts were $.03/each the brad was $.04/each, and we added 3 scratch-off stickers (lottery type) for a total of $.15/card, and the decorative envelope for $.05 each. So our total was $.66 each or $66 for 100. 1000 of these would have cost about $.40/each or $406 in printing and materials. Design fees for a project like this would be about $100 at my current rates.
