  per metre VS per letter

  Posted by Gary Davis on 11 April 2005 at 11:15

  Hi,

  Just wondered how others price vehicle graphics

  Per linear metre
  or
  Per letter

  pricing per metre at the moment but unsure if i should price it with all the graphics rearranged to fit a 610 width or per metre as they will be applied?

  if that makes sense…….. 🙄

  thought per letter may be easier, but unsure of how to price the different heights.

  always per letter, if at the end of the quote you think its a bt high yourself, show the customer and offer him a discount… he then thinks hes getting a good deal.

  I always quote per metre as in the layout, exeptions are when there is a lot of small text then i add extra. this way it covers graphics and shapes etc, and not just letters

  I always quote by the metre. You get to know how much material you’re going to use. It swing & roundabouts really !

  I find its simpler. However I would add a bit if the lettering is tiny due to the weed time and cursing involved ! 😮
