In our B2B (business to business) world, you rarely hear of a packaging company offering a “sale price” or special promotion. Those who do are guilty of using a little sleight of hand to make their pricing look better than it really is. For example, “30% off on everything” is a popular one. Much like a jewelry store that raises prices on everything, just so they can offer a great deal in time for a big gift giving holiday. There are simply too many custom packaging design variations so a special deal might apply on one customer’s project and not apply at all on a different one.
However, for the month of July, and until August 16th, we are providing new customers or old customers with new projects, a variety of unique offers we have never extended to anyone in the last 17 years we have been in business. We have put together a variety of different discounts so that every new project can enjoy reduced cost in one or more areas as never seen before.
How to Save Money on Your New Project
Here are a few ways we can help you minimize your cost on your new project:
Free or Reduced Cost Print Plates
The one thing every custom flexo graphic printed package design requires is one or more print plates. So, if you only need one print plate, we will provide it at 50% off. If your graphic design requires two print plates, we will provide one of them for free. Our retail marketing friends refer to this cost saving promotion as BOGO, buy one, get one free! This could result in a substantial savings, depending on your graphic design.
Free or Reduced Cost Cutting Dies
Flexographic print plates usually cost between $600 and $1,000 per color but cutting dies can be substantially more expensive, costing as much as $1,500 to $2,000. The good news is that a typical box design and size only requires one cutting die. However, if an insert or divider is required, a second and different cutting die may be necessary for that internal or protective packaging. On any order placed before August 16th, we will provide you with a 30% discount on as many cutting dies as your design requires.
A Great Deal on Shipping!
Everyone realizes how expensive it has become to ship anything, anywhere. While most e-commerce companies are accustomed to shipping packages OUT to their customers, many are new at shipping pallets of boxes IN to their place of fulfillment. This too can be a totally unexpected and unbudgeted cost so to help take some of the sting out, we are offering $300, $400, or $500 freight credit, depending on the order size.
Some Restrictions and Minimums May Apply
From the very beginning in 2007, our company has always attracted new, start-up companies and those determined to improve the package appearance and/or service they were receiving from their current supplier. We have never wanted a costly prepress item like a print plate or cutting die, to prevent a young company from receiving the very best results from the very best packaging partner.
Cost reductions like we are offering are expensive so all discounts may not apply on the same order. We have industry low minimums of 1,000 on most corrugated boxes, and 2,000 on most paperboard cartons. So, if you are curious how we may be able to minimize your initial or prepress costs, contact us or call us at 630-551-1700. We will be glad to discuss your specific application and situation.
