Question
What's the minimum order quantity for digital printing?
Answer
Digital printing is built for short runs, so most digitally printed products carry low minimums, often as few as 25 to 100 pieces depending on the item.
- There are no printing plates to set up, which is why small quantities stay affordable.
- Everyday items like business cards, postcards, flyers, and brochures typically have the lowest minimums.
- Low minimums make digital ideal for testing a new design or printing exactly what you need for one event.
| Method | Typical minimum | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Digital | 25 to 100 pieces | Short runs, proofs, personalization |
| Offset | 250 to 500 pieces | Large runs where per-piece cost matters |
