24x36 prints mounted on foam board

[bayshorecreations]

I am doing 5 24x36 prints (only text) mounted on 3/8 foam board.
Just curious if I am in the ballpark with the pricing I quoted?
I quoted them $90 each x 5 = $450 total.
Thanks

No artwork, I would be $60 for the prints and $20 for the foam, so $80 each. You are right there.

I personally only get $75 for them mounted but if you can get $90 more power to you.

We print directly to foamcore, so for me your price is high.

if you were to put a digital print of a credit card 24 x 36 on foam core or some of that heavier board available which is similar to foamcore, how hard would it be to round the corners with a jigsaw? I am curious if the saw will give a clean cut or will the fibers basically ruin the edges and effect the print. I ask as I now do this with 6mm pvc and the customer wants to save money and says they are temporory and not meant for long term. any thoughts?

Buy a corner rounder or use a knife. I think it would be way too soft for a jig saw

Cutawl or band saw, in that order. Failing that, a scroll saw. A jig saw will tear the crap out of foam core and a corner rounder will crush it.

If you have 1 or 2 to cut that makes sense. But when you have 25 or 50 to cut technology is you friend. Zoom, zoom, Zund.

no these are a re occuring order but usually come in ones or two's, so you never know when it will dry up on you and be stuck with useless blanks. I have this other material I ordered and although it is sort of like foamcore it is much stronger. The name escapes me but I will try cutting it this morning and see how it reactes to a dull jigsaw blade lol

Hey we can handle 1 and 2's too. Saves working weekends.

Someone had made mention of using a belt or orbital sander for the foam core.

how much is your customer really going to save. You say he only wants one or two at a time.
