What is a Gang Run? Does City Colors do Gang Runs?
A gang run is basically a sheet with multiple orders of multiple clients being placed on it to divide cost of production among many clients and to be able to offer very competitive pricing to our customers. The only down side is colors may vary from one time ordered to another because we cannot focus on any particular piece of art but instead we must focus on the entire sheet. Colors generally don’t vary more than about 5%. City Colors does use this method of printing to offer competitive pricing. For example, on a 12″ x 17″ sheet we can produce up to 24 business card orders. On a run like this, up to 24 different clients will divide the cost making the price of 1000 business cards 4/0 be about $20 vs 1000 business cards 4/0 being about $480 which is the cost of the entire run.
