Question on pricing laser engraving of awards for in-plant

Hello, We have a 130w laser used mostly for desk signs... We are an in-house print shop for a larger school district. They just tasked me with engraving a 2.5"x4" image onto about 200 vases to give out as service awards... How do you all price these things for retail? (I am not charging that, just need to know for comparison/educational purposes) I know what time I have into them. but the economics of the in-plant can be awkward... we need to charge something, and if it too much they can outsource. entire time was only 3 hours - of which only 30 minutes was my time (includes making a jig out of cardboard, then 3, 40 minute burns to get all the images....)

the vases are supplied, we are just doing the imaging.
