What is the difference between designs and quantities?

Designs and Quantities 

On a lot of our products, you can place orders for multiple designs and quantities, or a combination of both. It can easily be a little confusing when placing orders that require both.

Designs

Designs refer to the different versions of designs that you wish to print. If you wish to have the same specifications for a product, but if you wish to have different designs on each set, you need to order multiple sets of "different designs" corresponding to the number of designs you have. 

Different designs on a single order

For example, selecting "10 designs" with a quantity of "1" means you will receive one copy of each of your 10 designs. 10 totally different prints in one order.

Quantities 

Quantities refer to the numerical value of how many of one design you wish to be printed. In some quantities, the value goes up in a single number sequence, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. However, some quantities need to be ordered in bigger steps as this is affected by the print run for that product, 100, 250, 500, 1000, etc. 

For example

If you have a single design for a business card that you want to be printed 1000 times. That would be

 1 design and 1000 quantity = Totalling 1000 business cards.

1 design 1000 business cards

If you have four different designs for business cards, possibly different names on the cards, and you require 250 of each then that would need to be ordered as –

4 designs and 250 quantities = Totalling 1000 business cards. Note below how the pricing grid updates to reflect what would be 4 individual sets of 250 cards.

4 designs on 1000 business cards

When supplying artwork of multiple designs, you need to ensure that you read the upload specifications correctly to ensure that the artwork is printed.
