Regional Variations

We account for regional price variations by providing low (X), middle (Y), and high (Z) price lists. While production costs may vary, common costs like paper and equipment are similar. Our pricing schedules ensure you're covered, regardless of location-specific expenses like wages or rent.

The Crouser Secret Formula

We follow a unique three-step process:

          1. Real-Time Market Updates: We use data from real printers to update market prices.

          2. Cost Comparison: We compare market prices with cost-plus pricing based on industry standards, ensuring you don't lose money.

          3. Flexible Pricing: Prices rise to meet market rates when possible, with cost-plus prices as a floor. This helps maintain profitability.

Transparency and Accuracy

We disclose our budget hour rates, estimating standards, and markups, ensuring transparency. Plus, our pricing considers paper costs, eliminating guesswork. Unique to our guide is the adjustable capacity utilization rate, which increases with run length while maintaining consistent budgeting standards.
