Default Prices for custom tags

Hey, just wondering the average price for having a custom label made? I know the minimums are around 1200 so how much do you guys usually pay?

Prices vary greatly by company. I've seen prices as high as $450 for 1,000 damask labels, and as low as $185 for 1,200 taffeta labels.

You need to determine what will work best for you, and the quality that you want.

Default Re: Prices for custom tags

im in the label business.... and... giving a rough quote based on:

1 colour. and its a folded label, meaning there's a top and bottom.
and it would be woven label, not printed.
i would say around USD$0.40 each for a min. order of 1200.
And they will be individually cut and its ends will be re-enforced so that it won't fray.

I would say that is on the high end of the spectrum.

There are label providers that will give you 2 colors and everything else you say about the label for about .25 per label for 1,200, with excellent quality.

My brain might be leaky today, but I'm sure that my labels from www.luckylabel.com two colour, fold over, demask, worked out at about 10 cents each, buying 1200.

Default Re: Prices for custom tags

There are companies that use a size "range" rather that a specific charge for a scecific size.

I got a damask label that is 2.5"W X 3"L, then folded, that I am going to use for jackets at .25 per label with 2 colors.

Luckylabel is great, but it just took to long to get my first order and the shipping was more than I wanted. So I found a company here in the states, that I can pay about the same as lucky with the shipping, but get them much faster.

My labels were 3" by 1.5" (1.5x1.5 folded)

Luckylabel would probably not be the best bet if you're US based...I'm in Australia, so it's all within the Asia-Pacific postal circle, so both fast and cheap. Bangkok to the US would probably be pricier than you'd like.

I just go a thousand, which is the minimum from the place I got them.

Here is the price break down on what they quoted me:

Woven Label
Size: 2' x 3"
Material: Damask
Style: Centerfold
Color(s): White ground w/ red/black stitch (lettering)

Quantity Price
1,000 $250
2,000 $350
3,500 $425
5,000 $495

That's why I said the .40 per label was on the high end of the spectrum. That's $480 for 1,200. For another $15 the company I use can give you 3,800 more!

For anybody interested...

Default Re: Prices for custom tags

gd stuff... maybe i shld try redo-ing my pricing schemes. lol.
but i would say its also because of the sizing.
sizing does matter.

Length dont really matter, its the width. so in turn it affects the sizing.
and thus your pricing.

and we ship for free anywhere.. so i guess it depends on the individual

Hey what's the difference between damask, taffeta and satin? I'm trying to order some labels but I'm not sure about the different materials and which is the best to use?

Generally, damask is considered the highest quality.

It was discussed pretty good in this thread:

what type of label...??

Is it possible to get labels done in lower quantity runs (say 100)?

I've never heard of it.

I would really doubt it. It's not good business for the label provider. Especially woven labels.

You may be able to get some printed labels in lesser quantities.
