I really should just make a reply and just paste it into these million of "how do I price out for a job without giving any details about the job" posts ...
Alright business 101.
Take your materials (m) and overhead (o) and apply a margin (preset %) and that will be your supply cost (s). (M+O)x%=(s)
Next estimate your man hours (h) and multiply what your cost (c) for that and you will have your labor (L). (hxc)=L
add your supply and labor costs together. that is your minimum price (p) to break even . S+L=P
Anything above and beyond is whatever you feel comfortable with quoting to make a profit.
Your ink, substrate, printing materials, cutting blades, laminate, cleaning solutions, etc are your ACTUAL materials ... overhead is all the intangible stuff like power, water, the roof over your head, your machine costs.
Margin ... margin is your way of covering hidden costs and the such if you operate on a 50% margin on goods you should be multiplying by 1.5, 100% is 2, 150% is 2.5, ect. The margin is primarily a way most shops cover OOPS events or miscalculation of supplies in the quote without hurting profits.
Man hours is the amount of hours you expect it to work, so 2 people working for 1.5 hours would be 3 man hours.
your man hour cost ... is your cost of pay, taxes, etc. you can have a margin set to this as well.
That is business 101 ... micro economics.
