Prices in quantity slabs with the per-piece rate visible at each one, which is how printing actually costs. Showing Rs 4.20 each at 100 falling to Rs 1.10 at 1,000 explains the trade's economics in a single row.

Names the digital-to-offset break-even quantity per job, so a customer can see when to order more — and occasionally when to order less. Advising against the bigger job is what makes the rest credible.

One item deliberately carries no slab table at all, with the reason: large format has no plate to amortise, so quantity does not move the rate. The exception proves the pricing logic is real rather than decorative.

States plainly that CMYK will not match a screen and explains why, then offers the physical proof as the remedy. This is the single commonest reprint dispute in the trade.

Publishes the full pre-press checklist — bleed, safe area, colour mode, resolution, font handling — as page content rather than as a PDF nobody opens.

Discloses that a label die charge is one time and is not re-billed on repeats, closing off a quiet double-charge the customer would never spot.

Notes that creasing is included on 170 gsm folds because uncreased stock cracks, naming a defect before it becomes a complaint.

Warns that chromo labels are not waterproof and points to BOPP for chilled products — an unprompted spec correction that costs a sale and earns the next three.

Admits paper shade varies between mill batches, so a repeat months later may not match. Few printers put this in writing.

Dense two-column row layout at 0.9 density with a fade entrance: a slab table being compared must not move while it is read.
