Where prices come from
Custom jobs, unusual sizes, special materials, large quantities and mixed requirements are priced through a written quote. You need an account to request a quote, so the quote, your artwork and any proofs stay linked to your order.
Quantity breaks
Many products are priced in quantity bands. Setting up a print job takes roughly the same effort whether you print a few or many, so the price per item usually drops as quantity increases. The shop shows the price for the quantity you select, and it is worth checking the next band up: a slightly larger quantity can sometimes cost little more in total.
Turnaround options
Turnaround is the production time for your job. It is separate from delivery time.
- Standard: our normal production schedule, and the most economical option.
- Express: faster than standard where the product and schedule allow it. Where express is offered, its price is shown in the shop or quote.
- Same-day: priority production on the same working day, available only for eligible products and only when accepted. Same-day production is always subject to product eligibility, stock, capacity, quantity, artwork readiness and finishing, with full payment, usable artwork and approvals received before the configured cutoff.
Same-Day Priority Production surcharge
Same-day jobs are moved ahead of other work, which is why they carry a 40% Same-Day Priority Production surcharge. The surcharge is calculated once, on the eligible printing and production subtotal only. It does not apply to delivery fees or to separate artwork services. VAT, where applicable, and delivery are shown separately at checkout.
Worked calculation example
This is a calculation example only, not a product price. It shows how the surcharge is worked out.
- Production subtotal: R1,000
- Same-day surcharge (40% of the production subtotal): R400
- Subtotal: R1,400
- Applicable VAT and delivery are shown separately
If same-day is not possible
If a same-day job cannot be accepted, for example because of stock, capacity, quantity, finishing or artwork, we offer alternatives such as express or standard turnaround before any surcharge is collected. Same-day is a priority production attempt, not a guarantee: if we see we cannot make the deadline, we contact you with a new time or an alternative. See our Same-Day Printing Terms.
Mixed baskets
If your basket contains items with different turnaround options, some items may be ready earlier than others. Where this applies, your order can be split so that each item is fulfilled according to its own turnaround. The surcharge applies only to the eligible items produced on a same-day basis.
