Box Costings
When a box is die-cut, a cutting form is needed. This is usually charged as a once-off charge. Cost of forms can vary from under 700 Rand up to 2000 Rand depending on the size and complexity of the job.
When the job is printed, even a one colour reference print, there is usually a small stereo cost. As the print becomes more complex, there would be artwork and stereo costs. Stereo costs are nearly always quoted subject to the sight of customer artwork.
Samples
Samples are generally provided to confirm the size of a new job so it's very important that it is checked with the full content of the actual goods. Samples are generally handmade, either hand cut, cad cut or laser cut.
As a result, the actual sample produced will appear to vary slightly in board thickness from factory production because of the effect of pressure on the flutes and on the boxes produced through the factory.
