Was asked to price out a job requiring 300 magnet signs 3" X 6" in sign size with 3 lines 3/4" lettering written in blue vinyle. How much would you charge for this. I was thinking some where around $7.50 to $10.00 each. Any one in this Area of Ontario or Michigan with a thought. Steve

We're not in the area you're askin about but I wish I could get that kind of money for printing. It ain't gonna happen. You can buy pre-cut sheets 12"x18" magnetic material. Step& repeat for a 12-up for that size. You're talkin maybe on the outside about $250.00 That includes you cutting a ruby on your plotter, weeding time. And sending it out to a screenprinter. Not sure what your prices on material would beso didn't figure that in. But 12-up on a sheet devided by 300 is only 25 prints. Thats a minimum order in any print shop. Better yet even if the printer can do an edge pos. for you. Thats a start anyway. Gary H.

I ran the numbers through my "Quoter" software using the GERBER EDGE with Auto-Mag and one color copy. It came up with $3.90 per piece Retail and 2.73 Wholesale. I don't have complete faith in the soft ware, but it's probably pretty close. Good Luck!

Steve..I'm sorta in your area..if you want to do it in vinyl..make sure you use an "easy weeding" letterstyle...no serifs!
300 of those would be a LONG BORING day..even with an easy weeding letterstyle.
I would suggest about $3.00 each (Canadian funds here folks)
$900 gross (about $700-750 net) for a boring day's work is still not bad.
Oh yeah..cut the magnetic AND the lettering in "sheets" so you cut down on the application time too. ( more time at the end of the boring day to enjoy the beer you bought with part of the profits!)
ALSO Steve..if ya get the job at $7.50/ea give me a call..I'll do the complete job fer ya at $3.00/ea. AND I'll drive up to Wroxeter and deliver them to you..(YOU buy the beer!!! LOL )
