Keep the Area of the PCB Small
Please make this a rule of thumb; the smaller the PCB area, the better its cost-effectiveness. Moreover, compact sizes of PCBs are always preferred. The more large PCBs would cover colossal space and thus make the cost bigger as well.

PCB Printing—Use Standard Shapes
Some beginners or even expert PCB makers are after the designs and use different shapes for their circuits. It is a fact that the unusual conditions of the PCBs are often attractive, but they are making the costs elevate to a high level. Therefore, one must try to keep the shape and design of the PCB as simple as possible. Techniques such as the following must be avoided.

Keep the Spacing Minimum
Another rule of thumb is to keep spacing between the components at a minimum. This would also significantly impact saving because this would make the PCB compact, and the chances of discontinuity would be minimized.
