No background flat print for 450gsm Cotton Paper
*Price available upon request, as it varies on the paper type, size, and quantity
Fewer quantities makes this type of printing more expensive. To give you an example, a 1-color Letterpress print on Cotton Cardstock costs around Php 10,000 for 50 pcs and Php 14,500 for 100 pcs.
*This is quoted on top of your printing package. The quantity for Letterpress is counted per card printed in Letterpress, and not the whole set. The rate is also for a 1-page design only. Another design for another card will cost another Letterpress fee.
