This hasn't been mentioned:
Fewer words/graphics on a page = more pages = more paper, which isn't
cheap.
If the printer's using 8 1/2 x 11 paper and trimming, then the increase
may well be significant. If the printer's using a smaller size, then
you'll need to do some calculating.
On the plus side, at some point won't you be able to reduce the size of
the boxes? Which may be a savings (and the filler would only be a
temporary cost).
