i have a customer that wants 3 12x18 vehicle mags. black white and reflective.
the reflective is 166 for10 yrd roll by 15in. how would i price this job. i usually sell a set this size one color for 45.00pair.

the reflective is really throwing me off. do i charge the customer for the whole roll?
i'm stumped on this.



thanks in advance

Or if you're don't think you'll be using a lot of reflective in the future, get a free sample roll from 3M...

Here ya go: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Graphics/Scotchprint/Prod-Info/RequestSamples/

A rep from 3M will call you (they're usually really good about calling within 2-3 business days after the request), just let them know you like to evaluate their product and see how well that applies for your business.

Nona I'm glad you mentioned it on the forum. I've never had a need for reflective and also need to price it out for an ambulance company. Just had a meeting with them yesterday on this very subject. Thanks to all who posted Thumbsup

Thanks much Nona/Hockey Girl I also called 3M and have some samples on the way. This should lead me in the right direction.
