A low printing price is useful only when the specification and included services match. Compare artwork, print production, finishing, delivery and tax on the same brief before choosing a supplier.
SG Design Pro provides design and artwork files. Printing is currently unavailable. You can request a design estimate from us and obtain a separate printing quotation from your chosen printer.
Compare the complete quote
1. Design, artwork and file corrections
Does the price start with a finished print-ready PDF, or does it include layout? Separate new design, typesetting, image work and corrections from printing. State the revision allowance and which final files you receive. A design quotation and a printing quotation cover different work.
2. The exact print specification
Give each printer the same finished size, quantity, colour, cover paper and inner paper. For booklets, state whether the page count includes the cover. Ask the supplier which production method suits that specification; there is no single quantity threshold that makes one method cheapest for every job.
3. Binding and finishing
List binding, folding, trimming, lamination and any special finish separately. Ask whether these are included in the headline price. If a printer offers binding for files or sheets supplied by you, check its acceptance conditions and whether printing is an additional charge.
4. Delivery, packing and GST
Confirm the delivery address, number of delivery points, packing and collection options. Ask for the final payable total and whether GST is included or added where applicable. Compare the same delivery scope, rather than a collected price against a delivered price. IRAS explains GST for consumers.
5. Proofs, timing and changes
Clarify whether the quote includes a PDF proof, a physical proof or a sample, and what each can demonstrate. Ask when production starts after approval and when delivery is expected. Get the cost of a changed file, extra proof or expedited schedule before approving the job.
Send every printer the same brief
This is a worked specification, not a customer order or a price offer. Paper weights are example choices to discuss with a printer, not recommendations for every booklet.
