Cost/comparison

Taylor, Amelia, Annie, Peggy

Here are some of the numbers that we found. Since we have no feedback yet from the design committee, these are just preliminary numbers. We will tweak them as we go.

Placemats-11X17 paper
Color paper, black and white printing- 1,000 copies= $55.00 (this paper looked very springy)
2,000 copies= $110.00

Books- we have so many options, but here are some numbers to work with.
25 copies- 1 for each member of the class plus 3 permanent ones to leave at the Drop Inn
8 ½ inch paper, folded in half-whatever number of pages we decide on, it needs to be divisible by 4.

24 pages/ 6 original sheets printed on all sides(4pages per sheet)
White paper 20# b/w printing $6.00
White paper, color printing $33.00
70# nicer paper/different colors, black print $8.25

48 pages/12 original sheets
White paper 20# b/w printing $12.00
White paper, color printing $66.00
70# nicer paper/different colors, black print $16.50

The binding is a separate cost. Some of the ideas:
Stitch and Fold $4.00
Plastic binding $.75 each
Or they will punch holes if we want, I think for free
Also, lamination is very expensive. She suggested maybe a plastic outer sheet for the Drop Inn books at $.35 each book.
Another note, sales tax will start to be collected beginning April 1. If we can get the Drop Inn’s tax id number, then we can get the placemats printed free of tax.
