Hi guys. I'm quoting (36) 10" x 5.5" golf cart stickers (No install), but I'm not sure what to get for them. The blue & white are cal plus, the gold is Calon HP metallic. We had done 3 of these a few weeks ago for 15 buck ea. Estimate said 4.81 ea. or $3.85 with a quantity discount. BUT, I did it again & I got $21 something per unit. (I think its got some bugs) Can someone give me a hand? Thanks always, Felix -------------------- Felix Marcano PuertoRicoSigns.Com Luquillo, PR Work hard, party like a tourist!

My quick guess is 6.80 ea. I always figure 6.50 per square foot for cut vinyl. Times 2 for 2 colors and $50 for the numbers - in order. -------------------- John Arnott El Cajon CA 619 596-9989 signgraphics1@aol.com http://www.signgraphics1.com

Hiya Felix, I'm using estimate too and coming up with $10.58 each if I use HP vinyl. That includes 30 minutes of design time and about 4.5 hours of production/assembly. Intermediate is about $9.40 each. These prices include a 20% discount for 20 or more. Havin' fun, Checkers -------------------- a.k.a.

Sq. ft. vinyl @ 8.00 sq. ft. (or double your cost) & estimated labor to weed & combine. Sometimes you have to do the "long form" pricing. It's not always a sq. ft. price, especially the long run stuff. If you double your costs & set your shop rate correctly... you can't lose! Good luck & prepare to lose a few bids... if you get them all you're too cheap. (I don't need to tell you that). $15.00 each on longer runs will be great until they bid it out... you stand a chance to really tee them off if the competitor is 50% less. Mind you.. if the design was wild, 1 of a kind, something only you can do... the PRICE IS RIGHT! This is not the case here. Good job & good luck. -------------------- Michael R.

I would print them on the edge and charge $8 a piece. Save alot on labour for weeding and no need to mask with edge print. Would come out to $16 sq.ft. Cost of material would be $54, resell at$288 = $234 profit for 15 minute work! Since I got this machine (edgeII 2 years ago) I call it my money printing machine! -------------------- Denis Renaud EXIT66 Signs & Graphics Caselman, ON Can. denis@exit66.ca
