Welcome, and the best way to price jobs is to find what your "shop rate" is. Adding shop rate and materials plus markup is how you can get the correct price to stay in business. If you do a good job customers will pay, even if it is a bit higher than what they can get on VistaPrint. This is over simplified, but looking into that shop rate will show you the way. We used to just price based off of what felt right. We were also leaving hundreds of dollars on the table on just about every job. It can be applied to just about any industry.
