Important information on the list of services and the submission of offers:Print media are generally very complex and extensive products. In order to indicate the clear production costs, exact specifications and a print run are necessary. An exact circulation quantity for future orders and call-offs can often only be specified in the concrete project. In order to be able to calculate prices for flexible print runs, we have divided the costs for the individual print products per item into fixed and variable costs. The fixed costs are incurred regardless of the quantity to be printed. These are, for example, costs for data check, prepress, plate production, machine setup, delivery, etc., The variable costs are the unit costs per 1000. These are e.g. material costs, unit costs in further processing, etc. and depending on the exact run length. Total costs = fixed costs + run length x variable costs. The standard run length is specified and calculated in the tender as St per 1 000.The prices quoted for the respective products include: a brief standard consultation/meeting of the order, the delivery of print-ready data by FHG or an agency, a softproof/digital proof produced by the contractor as a PDF-X3 file for approval for printing by the customer, handy packaging of the printed products in cartons and delivery of the printed materials free domicile. The spectrum of large-format printed matter ranges from banners made of fabric to simple DIN A2 and DIN A1 posters, from periodically published info flyers to annual reports, sales folders and invitations to tender. New print media that have not yet been entered in the service specifications will be supplemented and renegotiated if necessary during the term of the contract. The stated quantities are based on empirical values from the last 5 years.

Large-format printed materials are generally very complex and diverse products. The variety of formats and substrates plays a greater role in pricing than the actual run length. Since we cannot query the prices in the bill of quantities and later in the call-off list for every single possible product, these should be allocated to square metre prices. The square metre price of a product is graded according to the format sizes and the printing substrate. The square metre size is rounded up to the third digit after the decimal point. This becomes clear in the Excel call-off list supplied.Total costs = size of the individual product in m2 x unit price per m2 x quantityA product can also consist of several items.A possible A1 poster could consist of the following: data device per motif, proof on paper (logo or images), printing on paper up to 0.5 m2, laminate substrate with matt UV protective film up to 0.5 m2, laminate substrate on a Kapafix 5 mm plate, angle and mounting hooks per pc, easy installation on site on the FHG premises.The prices for the respective products include: a short standard consultation/meeting of the order, delivery of print-ready data by FHG or an agency, a softproof/digital proof as a PDF/X-3 file produced by the contractor for approval for printing by the Principal, handy packaging of the printed products.
