Is that a retail price?
If not, you may be ahead of the game by reselling their product.

Thank you for reposting the process. I tried searching for it, and thought it was you who posted the original on how to do it. I just could not locate the post.

the resell should be around $60.
I think that if I am producing 50 -100 per week my labor cost will not be so high. I am guessing that my material cost should be around $5

Is the customer demanding a $35 price for the work, or is that what you "think" the price should be?

In bronze they retail for for around $70. I can get them in a "bronzed" aluminum for $35. It is possible that I can sell them for $45 - 50

$45-$50 sounds more worthwhile, than $25-$35.
Cost is less than bronze, which should be appealing to the customer and in the quantities you mentioned, enough money to make it worth your while.
It's a good combination. :-)
Good luck!

May I ask who your supplier is at these rates? Is it a Canadian supplier?

I can't remember how long it took to engrave the small piece in the photo. I know I had to run it three times with my 30-watt laser to get a reasonable depth. I actually should have run it one more time.
A higher-powered laser is the tool for this substrate. Routing may also be okay if fine detail is not required.
