Ive just purchased a printer cutter and have no idea how to price anything, as i have been doing only die cuts for the last 3 years, which i know how to price. i cannot figure out how to effectively price printed decals. are there any formulas to factor in price of ink and the vinyl it is being printed on? i am currently being asked to quote a price for 3000 1 color 2"x2" stickers. i have found a formula online that kinda helped. it was width x height x10 cents, so 2x2=4x.10=$.40 per decal. does that seem right. i am also trying to beat the prices of a larger sign shop and i dont want to quote something if it is totally crazy. please help.

whatsw really funny about that post is that if youre getting paid to make someone a sign then youre officially a sign guy.

i woudlnt sell those to the public. thats a good way to get notre dames laywers coming down on you for copyrights and all that other legal nonsense. just an opinion. big bucks to possibly shell out if you get caught. just something to think about.

thats sick.

the time is in the weeding. its all cut and then wrapped. i hand cut strips of other colors to place under the top layer, and used the actual color of the lighter. it only takes about a minute to wrap each one, once you get them lined up.

i would have liked to have kept the inside of the letters but they were so small that when i weeded the designs they would pop off the backing so i just got rid of them all. makes it look more consistent.

any website that sells vector images will have a page describing the licensing and royalties. i use vectorstock.com and for a design its about 1 credit = 1 dollar, and for the extended license which would allow me to reprint and use it royality free its 25 credit = 25$. sont be afraid to email the company and ask thye are always helpful.
