How accurate is the cost calculator?
Prices are based on our current manufacturing rates as of 2026 and are typically within 5% of final quotes. Final pricing depends on artwork complexity, shipping destination, and current material costs.
What is the minimum order quantity?
ZentPak requires a minimum of 100 units per design. This is significantly lower than the industry standard of 5,000–10,000 units, making us ideal for startups and small brands.
Are there setup fees or hidden costs?
No setup fees for digital printing. For rotogravure (orders over 10,000 units), there is a one-time cylinder fee of $200–400 per color. All prices shown include full-color custom printing.
Do prices include design services?
No — the calculator shows printing and material costs only. AI design generation is free via our design tools. Custom design services by our team start at $49.
