Ask MagCloud: Print Distribution

Why don't Digest publications cost half as much as Magazine publications if they are half the size?

Since Digest publications are about half the size of Magazine publications, they do save money on paper and ink, dropping the per page production cost from 20 cents per page to 16 cents per page. With that said, our production costs include many other costs beyond paper and ink, which help create a high-quality finished product and are independent of page size, making the cost to create a Digest publication more than half the cost for a Magazine publication.
