Formula Used

The total cost is calculated using the following formula:

The print cost per card varies based on the selected quality option, and the shipping cost depends on the chosen shipping method.

Worked Example

Let's say you need to print 500 membership cards with standard quality and ship them via standard mail. Here's how the calculation works:

Print Cost = 500 cards × $0.10 per card = $50 Shipping Cost = $25 (standard mail for 500 cards) Total Cost = $50 + $25 = $75

In this example, the total estimated cost would be $75.

Number of Cards: More cards mean higher printing costs.
Print Quality: Higher quality options cost more per card.
Shipping Method: Different shipping options have varying costs.
