Start with your expected use and ask us to compare a few quantities. The best value balances the price per piece with how many you can use before the content changes.
Why quantity matters
Unit pricing may improve at higher quantities, but unused or outdated stock can erase savings. A small repeat order can be sensible when names or offers change often. Compare total cost and likely usage, not only price per piece.
How to estimate
Base quantity on real use: distribution count, event attendance, or shelf life. Add a small buffer for spoilage or last-minute need, but name the buffer so you are not guessing.
Before you lock quantity
- Confirm distribution or use count (how many will actually go out).
- Add only a defined buffer (e.g. 5–10%) if you need spare.
- Consider reorder cost vs over-order cost for your case.
Balance savings with useful stock
Rounding up to a "nice" number (e.g. 1,000 instead of 600) without a use for the extra. You pay for and store the surplus; if the design or copy changes, the extra is obsolete.
