Multiple varieties of the same basic design can be made cost effectively if the art design is created to maximize the use of common plates.
Maximizing the common plates for all varieties and limiting the changes from variety to variety to a single color and/or single plate limits the overall print plate charges. It also allows the volume pricing for all with a small plate change or color change fee within the run.
