Printing price in the era of transition from planned economy to market economy [Buke printing factory]

From 1992 to 1996, China's economy was transformed from a planned economy to a market economy. During this period, printing wages were coordinated by industry organizations. As China gradually moves towards the socialist market, the one-to-one correspondence relationship between the publishing house or printing commission unit and the printing house is gradually lifted. The publishing house can select the printing house to process publications, so it can select the printing house with price advantage to print. In this way, the originally executed labor price list has been greatly impacted in terms of pricing items and price levels. In June 1992, Shanghai was the first city in the country to liberalize printing prices. After half a year, on November 20, 1992, the Beijing Municipal Price Bureau issued Document No. (92) 471, which decided to delegate the power to set printing prices to enterprises. During the period before and after the release of printing prices, the order of the publishing and printing market appeared to be quite chaotic, with some non compliant competitive behaviors occurring, which also made publishing houses, printing units, and printing factories unable to comply with prices. In order to restrict and correct unfair competition, make the publishing and printing markets compete orderly, protect and promote the gradual development and maturity of the market economy, relevant departments need to regulate or guide the wages. In an environment where the government is no longer paying pre printing wages, industry organizations have to come forward to coordinate.

In April 1994, Beijing Printing Group Corporation, Beijing Printing Association, and the Inter factory Friendship Association of State owned Book and Magazine Printing Factories in Beijing revised the 1991 printing wage regulations in the Beijing area, introduced a new wage table, and increased the wage by different degrees. However, the fundamental difference between this price list and the previous price list is that it is not a government action, so it has no coercive force on both the publishing and printing parties and only has guiding significance. The specific transaction prices of both publishing and printing parties shall be determined through negotiation based on the market supply and demand relationship.

In June 1996, Beijing Printing Group Corporation and Beijing Printing Association issued a new labor price table, which appropriately increased the processing fee level on the basis of the 1994 labor price and simplified the binding pricing formula. For the first time in the history of the printing price list, this price regulation for color computer system plate making has been added, adapting to the application of new technologies in the publishing and printing industry. In addition, this price list has broken through the scope of books and magazines and increased the pricing of packaging and decoration trademark products. However, the price range of printing labor in Beijing in 1996 was not recognized by the market. The new labor rates were not implemented, and the April 1994 labor rate table was not fully in place. The price level implemented during this period was between the prices specified in the 1991 and 1994 labor price lists. Although the printing price list at this stage is the pricing standard for both publishing and printing parties, its meaning and function are clearly different from those of the planned economy stage. The labor price table in the planned economy stage is completely rigid and rigid standards; At this stage, the printing price has shown flexibility and flexibility. The implemented price has a certain fluctuation, but the price agreed by both parties has a certain stability; Moreover, other provisions of the labor price list, such as pricing items and pricing instructions, are still followed by both parties.
