Pricing

Why We Don’t List Pricing

Overseas printing is not one-size-fits-all. Accurate pricing requires understanding the details that actually affect cost, quality, and timelines.

Why There’s No Price List

We’re often asked why Codra doesn’t publish pricing online.
The short answer is simple: it wouldn’t be honest or helpful.

Overseas printing costs vary significantly based on decisions that can’t be captured in a generic price table. Publishing numbers without context would lead to inaccurate expectations, rushed decisions, and disappointing outcomes.

Instead, we provide custom pricing based on the real requirements of your project.

What Actually Determines Printing Cost

Two projects that look similar on the surface can have very different costs once the details are understood. Pricing is affected by factors such as:
Until these details are clear, any advertised price would be guesswork.

Why Custom Pricing Protects You

In overseas printing, clarity up front is the best way to control cost.

Important Information Before You Start

To help set expectations clearly, here are a few important guidelines we share with every prospective client:

Minimum Order Quantity

Most overseas projects require a minimum of 1,000 units per SKU. Smaller quantities are usually not a good fit for overseas manufacturing.

Production Locations

We print in multiple Asian countries, including China and South Korea.
We select the best-fit facility based on your project’s cost, quality, and timeline requirements.

Lead Time

Plan for a minimum of 2.5 months from project start to delivery.

This timeline begins only after we receive:

  • Your purchase order
  • Print-ready files
  • Finalized specifications

Freight and customs are included in this planning window.

Material Samples

If you have specific material preferences, we strongly recommend sending physical samples before submitting a PO.

This allows us to match materials as closely as possible and avoid misunderstandings during production.

Bible Printing Projects

If your project includes printing a Bible or Scripture text, a valid license from the copyright holder is required before production can begin.

What the Pricing Conversation Looks Like

A pricing conversation is not a sales pitch. It’s a focused discussion where we:
Some projects move forward. Some don’t. Either way, you leave with clarity.

Pricing works best when it follows our process:

Clarify purpose and priorities

Skipping directly to pricing often creates confusion. Walking through the process creates confidence.
