Hello All,
I had a customer a pretty good customer ask me if I could make stickers to put on the side of hard hats. I said yes. Now I had to figure out how. I bought the clear self adhesive sheets from JDS (cost $1.80 per case 10 8.5 x 11" sheets per case) took the OEM transfer sheet, printed the logo (was good logo just had to resize). Then pressed for 3 min. and looks great. Now I don't have a clue how to price these.
There is a guy I know about 80 miles from here that I do some work for he has a screen printed business and he said I should get at least$20.00 per sticker. Seems very high to me...
Any ideas...........
Thanks Cindy

That is about $1 cost for 6 stickers. Therefore all of the pricing will depend on how much time it took you.
Figure it out at your shop rate per sticker then add $1, (yes 6x markup, but nothing under $1 for materials is my motto), and you have a price that you can live with well. It will also fall below that $20 each.
If it happens to be greater than $20 each, it is still what you need to survive. Bet you it is a lot less.
