Services/Pricing

 Pricing on Tracts, Booklets, Paperback Books – Printing we do for you  on a Printing Press, or Full Color Laser Printer

Note: We now have a 2017 heavy duty Canon ImagePress  C750 color laser printer that does paper sizes up to 13″ x 19″. We also can make 24″ wide by 59″ long posters. The minimum price for a color tract on this laser printer (two to a letter size sheet) is now 10 cents due to the high cost of repairs, consumables, and replaceable parts.

HIS Print Media Ministries, designs and prints tracts, booklets, and paperback books.  Our Primary emphasis is Christian Evangelism.  All incoming money goes into a ministry account.  There are no paid employees.   We are volunteering our labor and years of printing experience.   If you like passing out tracts, and you want to make them yourself using the documents posted on this website, that is OK with us.   You will quickly find out that buying supplies/consumables for your inkjet or color laser printer is quite expensive.  We have a professional laser printer that does near photo quality, and a printing press that does two colors with exact color registration, and extensive bindery equipment, in our Print Shop.  Quantities of 2000 or less are done on the laser printer.  Minimum quantity printing press jobs are 5,000+ for one color, and 10,000+ for two color tracts.  Shipping for small jobs is by USPS Priority flat rate (domestic and international) envelopes and boxes.  Larger orders are shipped by USPS (United States Postal Service), or customers preference .  We do not pay for the shipping.  The orange hyper-linked text after each category listed below is a link to a sample tract.  (Place mouse cursor over and left click on the orange text after the document title.  This takes you to the webpage on our site where the sample is located.  Scroll on that page to locate the title of the sample.  To view the document, click on download next to the thumbnail image of the sample document’s cover).  Although the links below are for English language tracts, we also have Spanish and other languages.  We can print any of the documents posted on this website, or a custom document you send us.  We can even help you design your own document or testimony tract (see Jerry Leonard Testimony http://www.tracts4u.com/blog1/?p=332).  You can contact us by E-mail: info@tracts4u.com; or, by cell phone: 805-452-5150 (David).  Tracts are printed on white paper.  Colored paper is special order, and a higher price.

For domestic use, Media Rate is cheapest, but is limited to Books, Booklets, and CDs

Note: International Flat rate priority Envelope and box prices vary by region. Max weight is 4 lbs for the envelope and 20 lbs for boxes. I figured that, for a shipment weight of 40 pounds or more, International Priority becomes cheaper than Flat Rate Priority, and it still goes by Air Mail to the country.Delivery time is 6 – 10 days. A customs for is required. We have had 3 Boxes sent to Brazil returned. Evidently there is an exact procedure for filling out the customs form so the recipient (who may be a poor street Evangelist) isn’t required to pay an import fee.

Airmail M Bag – Books and booklets. Starts at $51.55 for 11 pounds. Maximum weight is 66 pounds. Customs form required

The price of shipping tracts to a foreign country is more than the cost of our printing the tracts. This is why we encourage Churches and Evangelists in other countries to print their own tracts.

In my opinion, one should take an additional suitcase of tracts to a foreign country when traveling by Airplane. The next best choice for larger quantities of tracts (up to 66 pounds) is Airmail M Bag.
