Check the All-In Price
Quotes should include setup, delivery and VAT clarity. The cheap headline price that grows 40% at invoice is the oldest trick in print.
For exact numbers, send your brief to Platinum Digital Printing — quotes come back within the hour on business days, with a free artwork check and digital proof before anything prints.
