Realty Sign Pricing

[JLD984]

I'm a small town signwriter and been asked to quote on 200 'for sale' signs. Printed and laminated on fluted sheet roughly 36" x 36". Does anybody know roughly what companies pay to have these done by the big print companies? Any advice appreciated.

I usually charge the Reverend $10 each.

Why not call your "big" print company over there and find out?(ethical?)

36 x 36 is poor size to be "efficient" if your panels come in 4 x 8 sheets? (you can only get 2 to a sheet)
4mm coro, 24 x 32 - single side / no lam (they're temporary signs) / I get $18 each for them

Hear me now believe me later. Sub them out. Anything over 10 or 15 gotta have it now pieces at our shop get subbed out. You will be much happier not having to print, laminate, cut and install 400 prints. (I assumed double sided)

The job would also consume your life for a week if not more.

Subbing also frees you up to lock down another job.

Unless this is the only type of work you do there is NO WAY your price will be anywhere close to what a screen printer will do them for....

You can check the prices online of the big guys that make realty signs.
36x36 seems kinda big for a for sale sign if it is going on a cross arm post.

Dee Signs
Oakley Signs
Lowen Signs

For that many signs i would sub it out, a quick search on the web will bring up a bunch of companies that will do coro yard signs cheap..
