    Hi all could someone please help me with a price for this van, i know it looks basic (apologies for quality of jpeg!) however all text is outlined with a drop shadow so was a bit of fiddling about.
    Used 12 metres of vinyl, the tree had to be tiled, could someone advise what they would charge? Im looking for a ball park figure only as i realise there regional variations.

    i’d look at charging about £160-£180 depending on your hours spent on artwork. hope that helps 🙂

    I’d probably get away with about £190. Although knowing builders, they’ll try to knock you down a bit.

    thanks chris and big G, the artwork was done from scratch except the logo that i had to vectorise from a letterhead.

    Anyone in the south east on here to offer advice as well? I was hoping for a bit more, but there is more work to come from this so dont wanna be to expensive. usually charge about 130 for basic stuff to panels on transit.

    Hi

    Done a van similar to that lately

    Had to get € 310 ex Vat

    Charge € 30 – 60 for artwork on top

    That is in Euro’s

    Do not let local sign companies effect your price

    Do a Good job , on time , good materials and people will pay.

    no sense doing loads of vans for half nothing , do a few for a good price .. the old saying , don’t be a busy fool..

    Cheers

    We are in the South West and we would charge around £180 +vat. We dont take any notice of what any other local sign maker charges, at the end of the day we charge what we believe the work to be worth and thats that. Also as others have said dont give discount on the first van on a promise of more work.

    I think people here have given a good guidance on the price for graphics you have indicated.
    I really don’t think someone on your doorstep is going to give you further guidance as, at the end of the day (even though this is a friendly helpful forum!!) anyone in your area is potentially a competitor and possibly won’t want to give out that information.
    Sorry to be negative but got to be realistic.
