If you are presently using sample boards that are made of pasted chipboard—otherwise known as heavy duty cardboard—we may be able to lower your costs.

The critical cost variables are:

• Type of printing and number of colors
• Substrate thickness and composition
• Board size
• Order Size

Printing : depending on design and copy requirements and the size of the boards, we can access a variety of printing technologies and equipment which could provide printing savings.

Substrate thickness and composition : Pasted chipboard is made from several layers of heavy recycled paperboard literally glued or “pasted” together, often with a white top or bottom layer. When we understand your requirements, we can create boards of exactly the right thickness and composition—often reducing material costs.

Board Size: With in certain ranges, converting economies may be available, often lowering your cost.

Order Size: Your Sample board unit costs are reduced as the one-time fixed costs of manufacture are spread over large quantity of boards. For instance, an order of 500 boards might cost $3.50 per board, while 5000 of the same board would cost $2.50. Depending on your circumstances, you can order larger quantities and we will hold part of the order for later delivery—helping you realize volume savings.

Whatever your situation, call or email NS Converters for a no cost, no obligation conversation. OUR PROMISE: We will try to lower your costs by applying our unique converting skills and knowledge to your sample board needs.
