Production price

The production printing Price hereafter pressure being the additional cost of increasing the circulation of a publication against a made the customer offer than the price of a basic edition.

When offering a print shop, a distinction is made between the price for the basic edition of a print medium , which already includes all fixed costs , e.g. B. includes the costs of prepress such as the creation of the artwork and printing plates as well as the set-up costs of the machines, and the production price. As a rule, this only applies if the printing press can continue running without interruption and a correspondingly higher number of prints is produced than was originally calculated as the print run . The price of an additional edition printed later is called the reprint price , because if the printing is reprinted at short intervals, not all fixed costs are incurred, but depending on the printing process, some mostly labor-intensive preparations (e.g. machine conversion) have to be carried out again .

The production price mainly includes the material costs as well as the use of machines and the personnel costs incurred depending on the duration of the production. The material costs z. B. for paper and printing inks as well as for materials of the final production can also be lower with a higher edition per piece , so that there is a graduation of printing prices. Production prices are therefore usually given as a surcharge per 1000 pieces (FD 1000) for a certain edition to be produced, but any other edition jumps can also be selected for the graduation.
