Help Pricing a Job

[Daryl Gregg]

I have a customer wanting me to engrave/cut 196 - 2.75"x5.5" 1/16" plastic and cut 196 of the same size. 3 lines of engraving on them with 3 different setups. It will take just short of 25 12x24 sheets. Any sugestions?

Daryl,

On each 12x24 sheet of plastic you can have 16 labels. You will need only 13 such sheets not 25.
For material I would price it 2.5 to 3 times the cost.
Figure out what time it will take to mark one then price the engraving by your hourly rate.

BTW, my price would be 4.50 each.

I will need to do 392 total half engraved & half just cut out. I was thinkin about doin them for 5.25 ea

[Tony Lenkic]

$5.25 engraved OK, for cutting only it's bit high don't you think.

[Daryl Gregg]

not sure, thinkin about $10.50 for a set. Kinda why I asked on here. See what others would charge.

I think Tony is closer to my pricing. I might be a little lower.
