Sometimes turning your PCB designs into reality can be costly, especially when dealing with high-layer PCBs. However, at JLCPCB, we provide an economical solution - a once-a-month opportunity for every customer to partake in 6-8 layer PCB prototyping at no cost, and now we sincerely invite you to come and experience it with us.

*JLCPCB also offers a special price of $2 for 1-8 layer FR-4 PCBs (50mm*50mm, 5 pieces) to alleviate the cost burden during project development, enabling innovative ideas to flourish under more favorable conditions. To save more, sign up on JLCPCB official website and get up to $54 off register coupons.


How to Experience Monthly Free 6-8 Layer PCB Prototyping

To enjoy the once-a-month free prototyping, your PCB order needs to meet the following criteria:
• Layer: 6 or 8 layer
• Size: Within 50mm*50mm
• Quantity: 5 pieces
• PCB Specifications: Default settings


To start, you will need to visit the JLCPCB Coupon Center and claim a $2 coupon for 6-8 layer PCBs. Each month, we release one such coupon in the Coupon Center. Remember to claim it before placing your order.

During payment, apply the $2 coupon you claimed for 6-8 layer PCBs to avail of the discount. You will see that the product cost has been deducted. (In this case, the total price is deducted from $4.17 to only $1.89) Congratulations! You have successfully secured an opportunity for free 6-8 layer PCB prototyping.

Please note that if you select parameters outside the special offer range, such as choosing a panel as the delivery format, a soldermask color other than green, a thicker outer/inner copper weight than the default setting, or if your PCB size exceeds the 50mm*50mm limit for the special offer and you need more than 5 pieces, regular charges will apply.

However, even if your order doesn't qualify for the special offer, rest assured that our regular prices are still favorable. We have made some additional discounts for high-layer PCBs:
• No longer additional charges for via-in-pad for 6-20 layer PCBs.
• For 6-layer PCBs within 10cm*10cm (5pcs) and within 5cm*5cm (10pcs), the price has been reduced from about $85 to $60-63, and the engineering fee adjusted from over $100 to $60 (board thickness within 2.0, 2.0 not included).


JLCPCB High Layer High Quality

With such a discount, can the quality of PCBs be maintained as always? The answer is "Yes"!

At JLCPCB, we deliver cost-effective PCB manufacturing solutions without compromising on performance, durability, and reliability. Backed by our 5 intelligent production bases, we continuously strive for improvement. Through continuous efforts, we've optimized processes, enhanced PCB production layouts, and implemented a comprehensive automated intelligent management system. These initiatives have yielded promising outcomes, also for 6-8 layer PCBs production. Additionally, as our production volume keeps expanding, we can significantly reduce costs because of the large-scale effect on production, allowing us to pass on the savings to every customer. At JLCPCB, we aim to share our years of PCB manufacturing achievements with engineers and makers, giving them a competitive edge by leveraging our production advantages.

JLC's Commitment to PCB Manufacturing
• JLCPCB guarantees full-film PCB manufacturing, without resorting to negative film.
• Via-checking with four-wire low resistance is ensured for all boards.
• High-precision LDI is employed on multi-layer boards(including 4-layer PCBs), for a stable and reliable solder mask bridge.

Before delivering the PCBs to customers, we conduct at least three quality checks:
• Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
• Flying Probe Testing
• Final Quality Checking piece by piece before shipping

Nonsense. How many times have I ordered 5/10 tiles from them, and received a dozen of them, because some of them did not pass quality control, even though I did not notice any problem on them. There's... [Read more]

I've been ordering from JLCPCB since 2018, there hasn't been any error in my tiles yet, the only thing is that the logo print could be a bit sticky, it didn't always come out the same. [Read more]

From my recent experience with JLC, they seem to have caught enough customers to form a stream of orders by adding costs wherever they go. In the past, for example, all colors were at the same price,... [Read more]
