I've been asked to do some simple decals for ATV's. It is simple arial black lettering, 1.5" tall by 6" wide. I figured it on Oracal 641 15' X 50 yard roll, which would make the cost .26 a foot. I should be able to get 100 of these on 8' of vinyl, which would make my cost $2.08. Now, normally I would mark this up 400% which would bring the cost to $8.32 for 100 decals. That seems WAY too low for cutting, weeding, and masking 100 decals. I'm going to think out loud for a bit........Add $40 an hour for my time weeding and masking? Add some for additional supplies such as masking tape? Any input is appreciated. Tired of undercutting myself!!!!

What I do is charge by the sq. ft. so say I have a 15" roll and each decal is 1.5 x 6 so I can get 16 of these decals in 1 sq.ft . . . at $15 - $20 sq.ft. it roughly would come at $1 and some change.

Hope this helps.

I will remember that sq ft equation because i always throw a number out of butt but I was about right on this one woohoo ... weeding masking cutting to size takes time and might end up being an hour but machine time/your time/ over head ect.

I thought I was low baller but Sue starting making more coffee money ; )

Thanks. I wasn´t going to do it for that price, but thought my initial price quoted of $2.50 each was a little too high. I think $1.50 each sounds fair. Thanks for the input.
