Every year, many publishers still print various of magazines for sale. But in recent year, since the price of raw material and shipping is increase. Meanwhile, the cost of magazine printing is also increased. For publishers, how to do cheaper magazine and then let it earn more money is the key. So how to achieve it? Combine with my years of magazine printing experience, I sum up below 6 points.
1. The choice of binding style
For cheap printing magazine, the hot popular binding methods are saddle stitched and perfect binding. What is the difference between the two?
Saddle stitched has a short binding cycle and low cost. But the binding firmness is poor, and the iron wire used is difficult to bind thicker pages. So it is suitable for the magazines under 32 pages.
Perfect binding. Also called glue back binding, glue binding. Because of its good flatness, low cost, high efficiency, fast publishing, and easy readers to turn over. Many cheaper magazine printing uses this binding method. Perfect binding is a widely used binding process in doing low cost magazine.
2. The choice of printing magazine paper
For cheap magazine printing, paper choice will affect your magazine quality. Different paper, the printing effect is very different. In Book Printing China, to bulk print the low-cost magazine printing with high quality. Most printers often choose the common glossy art paper and matte paper. Because the cost of brand paper is higher than common paper.
Use glossy art paper to print the cheaper magazine, which makes the patterns look more bright and enrich. And use the matte paper to custom magazine, which makes it touch more high-end and texture. Since matte paper is not as bright as glossy art paper. Matte paper is not easier to cause reading fatigue. It can give a better reading experience to the readers.
3. The choice of printing quantity
To do cheaper magazine printing, the printing quantity is the key to decide the price. That means you print more, your price is more cheaper. So if you want to print magazines cheaper, you do better bulk print.
4. The choice of crafts
To print a cheap magazine, the more complex the craft is, the high cost is. So the craft is more simple, the price is more cheaper.
5. The choice of shipping way
For bulk print cheaper magazine, the choice of shipping way is also very important. Compare to shipping by air, shipping by sea or by railway will help you save much cost.
