PRICE RULES...
Posters Overstate Minutes

Our analysis indicates that the phone card industry continues to be price driven, and card issuers continue... more than ever, to misrepresent the number of minutes printed on posters.  Yet, as international rates drop, cards give more real minutes.

PHONE CARD PRINTING
Keeps Cost of Entry Low

With the barriers to entry so low, it is now easy for established card issuers to produce more than 100 different cards every year, and even small companies can print a calling card in a run as small as 5000 cards to test the market.  For example, we can print 5000 beautiful 3 38" x 7 1/8" phone cards for 6.9 cents per card, with a first time setup of $122 per image assuming "camera ready" art. Shipping costs about $32, and we charge a job coordination fee of $50 which covers all the jobs on the order.  That puts the total cost of 5000 phone cards at just $549.00 including shipping! Contact Bob if you need printing
