parabellum1130 5 Posted November 5, 2015 I just want to double check and make sure im coming to the correct pricing a 24 x 24 decal for tractor trailer door would be $24. in single color and in 2 color if I have seen correctly is 50%on top of the single color price... totaling $36. ea. I have the pricing on smaller 6-8 inch decals down but is it the same equation on large decals? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parabellum1130 5 Posted November 11, 2015 have I been wrong this whole time ?? Im pretty sure ive been seeing add length and width then divide it in half to get the pricing ... did I just misunderstand or is that on just smaller decals... if so at what size did calculation change?? id like to have it so in my head I can give an estimate as it seems around here price is first thing they ask Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmas 119 Posted November 11, 2015 have I been wrong this whole time ??Im pretty sure ive been seeing add length and width then divide it in half to get the pricing ... did I just misunderstand or is that on just smaller decals... if so at what size did calculation change?? id like to have it so in my head I can give an estimate as it seems around here price is first thing they ask Ok, don't listen too much to me, I don't do retail sales or pricing the same as most people, but if there's one thing I know, it's that there is no single pricing method that works for everything. I do H+W/2 when I make a decal and give it to someone. Install and design costs more. Intricate designs cost more. Different materials cost more. Layering costs more. And even then, if I look at it and dread doing it, it costs more. If it's super simple for someone I like, maybe less. If I'm making a lot of decals, I may adjust it up or down. I did some 1x3 decals which should cost $2 each but they were 2 color and I was doing 10 of them. I thought $40 sounded better. At a certain size, H+W/2 breaks down. I'm doing a 6in by 200in lettering job soon and H+W/2 would be $103. I'd do it for that, but the install will be hard so that's more. And if it were 24 inches tall, it would be 4 times as complicated, but with H+W/2 the price would only be $112. I wouldn't do 24x200 for that. I also do some 1x1 decals on a repetitive basis and I charge $5 each for them. They are paying for my time and for the fact that I have all the designs they need, about 30, ready to make at a moment's notice. I don't have any advice, just showing you how H+W/2 sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
