Booklet Estimates

Printing Bid - Kinko’s

Troubled Times, Inc. provides PDF file of booklet of 108 pages to be copied double sided, all black ink on #20 RW paper with a 65# cardstock cover double sided. Booklet finish size is 8.5”x5.5” with comb binding.

Grand Total cost including discount for nonprofit organization: $718.31

Bid Ref. Number: 3903-199

The estimate from Kinko's for 100 copies of the Non-Profit Survival Booklet is $546.50, with a hint that we could get lower pricing by speaking with a manager who was not there today. Assuming we could bring that down to even $400, it would still be $4.00 a copy, plus shipping. I don't see how we could afford to give free copies at that price. $195 of that price was for the comb binding, cutting the binding and putting the booklets together, and only $324 for the copies of the pages, printed off the Internet, 2-Up.
