The price of a packet is determined by the cost of the royalties (if applicable), production costs, desk copy quantity, margin to cover operating expenses,
and labor.

Royalties
Publishers usually charge royalties to reprint their material. The average cost is approximately $.10 per page, per copy, but can often be much higher. These fees are set by the copyright holder and we will negotiate costly charges in an effort to lower the fee. In the case that the fee is unusually high and cannot be negotiated, we will contact you.

Desk Copies
Desk copies costs are absorbed into the overall student copy price. We highly recommend that you carefully consider the number of desk copies you will
actually need as these fees may significantly increase the packet cost
especially in small class enrollments.

If you are concerned about the overall cost of the packet, an estimate
of the final cost is available upon request.
