    Hi Guys could you please give me some idea,i been asked for making an A4 size embroidered certificate and an embroidered invitation for an organization.I made one sample each certificate it self contains 41700 stitches and invitation contains 20000 stitches.
    I been told that there are 5 other companies making these sample aswell.One week later i received a call that my sample is liked by the directors and now they want me to make 100 certificates and 600 embroidered invitations,But they want quotation first, i dont know what to say dont want to quote any silly price.You are all experianced and have better idea. Could you please give me an idea that how much would you qoute if it come to you.
    thanks

    Hi Sarandaz
    Sounds like a nice job 😮
    How many heads do you have?
    Is it one colour?
    How many lines of text are there?
    How long did it take for the run?
    Thanks Mike

    Hi,

    We embroider quite a lot and have established the following charges. For embroidery adding value to a product we are selling then we charge £0.15/1000 stitches. However this is based on our average embroidery size of 5000 stitches i.e. we take into account loading and unloading and cost per 1000 stitches tends to reduce as the stitch count rises. Also, don’t forget to charge for your substrate. If we are doing the embroidery as a sub job then we would charge £0.20-£0.25/1000 stitches depending on machine utilisation.

    So, Certificate £6.30 – £10.50 plus substrate, plus VAT, Invitation £3.00 – £5.00

    You might want to find someone with more heads to sub it to though as I calculate you’ll be doing nothing else but these for the next 27 days on you machines 😕
