I did an install for 5 race cars today, here are some pictures of a couple of them. Nothing to fancy, just the basics pretty much.
-
Here are some numbers for a race car that I just finished. There are 4 color and layered. I was pretty happy with how they turned out, and I hope the client is as well.

Thank everyone,
No we will not be taking it with us. lol This is actually at my girlfriends parents house so it will stay there, she is staying there till I can get all moved up to Milwaukee.
I also attached the files for the sports balls

The easiest way to figure out pricing it go by the sq ft. If you use a 24" roll always count up to 24", they should pay for your scrap as well. and at 32" I would round up to 36" to get to the even foot mark. So that is 6 sq ft. I charge $9 a sq ft. so I would be at $54 each, plus whatever I thought for the install. This install would take me about 15-20 minutes so I would add about another $20. so $74 per decal including install.

Hello All!
It has been a while since I have been on here(too long). Since I have been gone I changed jobs, had my first child, and am now getting ready to move. I have been very busy and things have been hectic to say the least. Just wanted to post a picture of the graphics I did above my sons bed. Let me know what you think.

Nice MR2, We got 2 of them! LOVE THEM! There like little go karts.

you can be legal without starting a full fledged business, just make sure you claim all the income. be a self proprietor file a schedule c with your personal taxes, you can write off expenses, and claim your income. Use your last name in the business name and you dont have to file a DBA (doing business as)
-
sounds about right to me, I charge $9 a sq ft, and at that I get $5.25 each

I am looking to get some stickers printed, they will be 6" round. I need to know how much for quantitys of 500, 1000, 2000, 5000. thank you in advance

IF anyone is interested I will take $300 for the unit! I really need to sell this because I really need the money. Thanks for looking

It is a 12 X 12

Also if you dont know where I live, I will deliver anywhere from the Chicago Area all the way up to the Wisconsin Dells Area
-
I believe it is a black magic or something like that. Im not to sure. The unit works great and dont have many hours on it. I really hate to get rid of it, but like I said I have ran into some hard times and need to sell this.

I have for a sale a heat press that is the 4-in-1 model. You can make T-shirts, mugs, hats, plates, pretty much anything you could want to make. I bought this new and have only used it a couple times. I have fallen into some hard times and need to sell this. I also have a bunch of heat transfers that I am throwing in which the press. If you are interested please contact me. I am asking $400 for the press with all the decals. I can deliver to you if you are withing a reasonable distance, or I can also meet you half way. My parents live in the Wisconsin Dells area so if you are up that way I could deliver and then have an excuse to stop and spend the day with them too. I will consider all offers. Thank you very much! $300 AND ITS YOURS! I NEED TO SELL THIS ASAP

I charge by the sq. ft. I get $9 a sq. ft., so when i break that down to sq. inch's it comes out to $0.06 per sq inch. But i also charge for all scrap, so if it is 12" x 12" I would charge for 2 sq ft becasue the rool is 2' wide, so I guess i am usually around $0.12 for a sq inch, I just charge by the foot though.

I am not totally sure how this works, but I have a cousin who is a lawyer down in Springfield, IL, and her husband is a trail lawyer for a big company. I was told that you can reproduce any logo for someone as long as they have permission to use the logo, and I would think that is a girl is sponsored by Dewalt that she has permission to use there logo. Therefor, not making it illegal to make it for her. So, if the whole thing was a set-up to try to bust people that would be entrapment due to the fact the girl said she was sponsored by them! I would be suing them for entrapment, and emotional distress over the case and worrying if you were going to lose everything you owned over this!

I probably would have been somewhere in the $300 range for the job.
Looks good, you did a nice job.
On a side note, I would have stretched the boarder to the left and right a little to make it even all the way around.
Ya I know what you mean about the border, it is only short because I wanted to be able to rotate the image in the cutting software in order to save vinyl. so that way each one would only go into the roll 18" instead of 24", so in overall I saved 6.5'. That little bit per sign saves me a lot in the long run, but yes I totally agree it makes it look a little off. I really appreciate the great constructive criticism!
I got $400 for this job, that includes the install
The sign craft sign pricing guide said that the price should be $251-$336 depending if the shop hourly rate is $46 or $66 per hour. (this is with no install) I know pricing al depends on where your at, and how many sign shops are around you.
Thanks everyone for the great comments, and suggestions!

Hey all, Long time no post. I have been super busy the last 8 months (just bought a house, and remodeled everything!) I sure am glad to have some time to get back on the forum. I will post some more jobs that I have been doing later
Anyways
Here is what I did today. It is 6 double sided corrugated plastic signs that measure 18" x 24" they are 1 color. and there is also 1 sign that is the same as the others, but only 1 sided.
Just curious to see what you guys would all charge to make and install these. I will let you know how much I charged after I get a couple people to answer, I just dont want to sway anyone's idea on a price. I want to make sure that I am within the same ball park as the rest of you.
Thanks guys!

I think ALOT of people do not charge enough. you think well I would rather make something rather than nothing, that is not the way to think. If you value your work and think you do a good job you should charge accordingly. I feel if you are charging under $5 a sq ft. you are robbing yourself, and everyone else in the sign industry. Just because you don't have the big overhead like the big sign shops don't mean you can charge so little what happens when things are going good and you wanna open a retail location, then you will have to raise your prices, and all those people that were coming to you because they get the stuff almost free will be gone. MINIMUM I charge for decal with NO install is $9 a sq ft, and nobody ever complains, I still beat the other sign shops by 20% Installed is more near $15 a sq ft
For this job I would be $427.50 per side with NO install so for both sides I would be $855 with NO install,
then if I was to install I would charge for me and 1 other person for about 2 hours, so I would add another $300 to that price. ($75 per hour per person, and pay the help $25 per hour)
SO MINIMUM I would be at $1155 Installed, and have them rent a lift.
If your so cheap that in the end you only make like $10 per hour, whats the point? you could make more working in the mall. I always make sure that once all supplies are paid for that I get at least $80 per hour of time that I spent on the job, so if the Job takes 10 hours I profit at least $800 after all is said and done. And with most jobs, and as you get faster its more like $150 per hour.
all the people that I have seen undersell me around here do not make signs anymore, and there is a good reason because they cant make enough money. I charge what I charge because I know my work will last. If you are having a hard time selling a job because they think its to much money tell them this.
Say that a sign will only last 5 years (they always last longer if done right) And say they have to pay $1000 for the sign. That might seem like a lot but if you divide the $1000 over 5 years that is only $200 per year, now divide that by 365 (for the days of the year) and you get a wooping $0.54 a day, only 54 cents per day! If they sell something that is only $1 and they sell an extra 1 per day because of there $1000 sign it will be worth it!
sorry for the Long post but I get rather upset over this issue when I see someone selling signs so cheap, and usually the people come to me and have a quote for someone else that is ridiculously low, and they see mine they pick me anyways because they say that the other guys stuff must not be that good if he is charging so little. There is an old saying "You get what you pay for".
Good post, even some points I had never thought of.
Thanks,
my price by the way was for only the vinyl and instalation, I didnt factor in the allumilite, if I added that it would be more like $2000.
I understand that people get other amounts based on alot of factors, but just because you have alow overhead dont mean you have to charge accordingly, you should quote within 20-30% of industry standered, thats why when you look at the sign makers pricing guide it seems so high becasue we could never get that becasue of people that charge 60-80% to little.
I dont hate anyone for low balling, but people that low ball hurt the entire industy as a whole not just the local sign shops.
