In short: Printseoul prices runs up to 100,000 copies on sheet-fed and web-fed offset presses; cost per copy falls with volume, and ocean or split freight keeps shipping cost in proportion.
Why volume lowers the price
Setup and plates are paid once. As the run grows, they are divided among more copies, and the per-copy price approaches the cost of paper, ink, press time, and binding. See the reference pricing for a standard book.
Freight for heavy shipments
A large run is a heavy shipment, so freight is a major cost. Ocean + Trucking (about 35 days) costs far less per kilogram than air, and you can split a run, sending the first batch by air and the rest by ocean. See air vs. ocean freight.
Production time at scale
Production time grows with quantity, and the quote shows the figure for your spec. Plan the schedule backward from your date with the overseas printing timeline.
