The Real Cost
The Saving Is There.
You Just Haven't
Claimed It Yet.
High print volumes make the Australia tax compound fast.
Domestic production costs more because Australian labour and rent cost more. Not because the output is superior. The savings from Tier-1 offshore production go straight back to your margin.
