What would you usually charge for something like this two colors red with silver grey metallic outline RTA 651 24" X 48"? Two of them.

Just because I don't know....I'd be curious how you came up with that figure.  I'm starting to have people ask me for stuff and I know I'm low balling myself big time.

It was just a quick gestimate. $0.04 per square inch for the first color, then multiply that times 1.5 since it's two colors. Design time and installation would be extra.

That doesn't figure right for small RTA....

 

I have one right now that is 3.5" x 14" (two text lines)

RTA

one color.

49 sq. in.

Using your figures I should charge $1.96.

 

:huh:  Can't make any profit there.

I charge $4/SF for cast so I would be $64 each so pretty close to the same. I work in 1ft min kind of thing and usually depending on who it's for I have a minimum charge per each of $3 or $4 just because of time spent on any single item. Incidentally I often charge $3/SF for calendared. I include waste vinyl into the equation so assuming the above graphics fit within a 24" roll the $64 would hold true. If I had to jump to 30" rolls due to an actual 24" design the cost would jump to $80 for the 2 color graphic.

Sue2, you are correct. Larger stuffs typically gets a better price than smaller stuff. Vinyl is cheap, time is valuable.

 

For your example I would charge $7-8. If doing a bunch of the same design then you could lower it a bit.

Okay....that sounds better.

 

I generally charge minimum $10...or else I would have every neighbor

within a 10 block radius wanting some sort of "Sticker".

 

For the attached file (one color RTA) I charged $12 which includes

the "type-setting".  It measures  3.5"  x  14".

 

Multiple orders at the same time are usually charged at $6/sq. ft. 

plus set-up/design fee.
