How do reliable self-adhesive label printing manufacturers calculate prices?

Ordinary Paper: Coated paper self-adhesive labels are a commonly used material with relatively low printing costs. For small-batch printing, such as 1000 standard-sized (e.g., 3cm x 5cm) coated paper self-adhesive labels, the price might be around 70-100 yuan; if the quantity reaches 10,000, the unit price might drop to 0.05-0.07 yuan/label.
Special Materials: Self-adhesive labels made of special materials such as PET, PVC, and matte silver have higher raw material costs, resulting in higher prices. For example, for PET self-adhesive labels, a small-batch printing of 1000 standard-sized labels might cost around 150-200 yuan; for large-batch printing, the unit price might be 0.1-0.3 yuan/label.

Size: Generally speaking, the larger the label size, the more material is used, and the higher the printing cost. For example, a 10cm x 10cm self-adhesive label will be more expensive than a 3cm x 3cm self-adhesive label, assuming the same material and printing process. For larger self-adhesive labels, such as A4 size, using ordinary paper, a small batch might cost 5-10 yuan per sheet, while a bulk batch might cost 1-3 yuan per sheet.
Shape Complexity: Regularly shaped self-adhesive labels (such as squares, rectangles, and circles) are relatively simple to print and die-cut, resulting in lower prices. Irregularly shaped self-adhesive labels (such as irregular shapes, hearts, and triangles) require special die-cutting processes, increasing production difficulty and price. For example, a small batch of 1000 ordinary round self-adhesive labels might cost around 80 yuan, while the same number of irregularly shaped labels might cost 150-200 yuan.

Standard Printing: Using conventional four-color printing processes, colors are vibrant and patterns are clear, meeting most printing needs. This printing method is relatively inexpensive. For simple designs and text, small-batch printing might cost a few cents to a few dimes per label, while bulk printing would have an even lower unit price.
Special Processes: Using special printing processes, such as hot stamping, silver stamping, UV coating, or embossing, will increase printing costs. For example, hot stamping on self-adhesive labels might add 10-20 yuan per square meter to the basic printing price; UV coating might add 5-15 yuan per square meter.

Quantity Factors: The printing quantity is a significant factor affecting the price of self-adhesive labels. Generally, the more you print, the lower the unit price. For example, printing 500 ordinary coated paper self-adhesive labels might cost 0.2-0.3 yuan each; while printing 10,000 might reduce the unit price to 0.05-0.07 yuan each.
