About Combo Ordering
Combo ordering is the process of maximizing your profit potential or savings on individual printed products with similar paper stock and UV coating requirements. In Combo Ordering, you are not buying an individual product, instead you are buying an area of our press sheet that we call a “Hole” or “Holes”. In doing so, you receive a greater discount for the printed products.

Example: Taking advantage of Combo Ordering
Let’s say you order many postcards and business cards in a typical month for your design studio. When ordering those individually, each has it’s own defined printing cost. But collectively, they can reduce the cost of your printing and increase your profit potential, just by buying a Combo Hole (with a few product finishing charges).

So if you need...
Six 4/4 Business Cards and Two 4/1 - 1/4 page postcards, all running on a 1000 sheet run on 16pt card stock with UV gloss 1 side
*All products must have the same paper type, and UV specs but can be a mix of 4/0, 4/1, and 4/4 color ways.

Ordering the “individual product” way
If you purchase these products individually, the Six 4/4 Business Cards would be $294.00 ($49.00 each), and the Two 1/4 page postcards would be $198.00 ($99.00 each), for a total of $492.00 in printing costs.

Ordering the new “Combo” way
Now, buy a “8.5x11 Combo Hole” for $239.00, add $80.00 in finishing for 8 products ($10.00 per product finishing charge), for a total of $319.00. You save $173.00. A big 35% savings on printing costs! Guess where that savings goes? In YOUR pocket.
