I have a customer who wants us to quote him on approx 1,000 pieces of either plastic or acrylic. He wants 3" circles, laser engraved with 1 to 2 lines of text & possibly a hotstamped logo & has a budget of approx $0.50 - $1.00 each (though he is really pushing for $0.50 each). Now is it just me or is this virtually impossible? I think I pretty much know the answer...it is impossible. Especially with the cost of plastic & acrylic being so high. I think he is either thinking of the good ol' days or it's because he was getting it cheap in Pakistan (he told me he had a supplier there but then I guess they closed).
Any other suggestions? I was thinking of wood as being the most cost effective option. Any suppliers you know of?
