Thanks mate but where do you get your boxes from

[Andy Gorman]

I’d be interested to hear what sort of prices people charge for illuminated signs. For example, what would you charge to supply and fit a box with a cost price (incl vinyls etc) of say £500.

Reason I’m asking is that I can usually get at least double the price of all materials. ( More like 4 times actually 😎 )

I use Kestrel for light boxes, incidentally, although not for much longer. 👿

If materials were £500 mark up at say 1.5 is £750 plus fitting, lets say its straightforward still two man job plus abit of tower so say £250 plus somthing for simple design/vinyls lets say £75
= total of £1075 but im presuming you charge out for more? ive only done a couple of lightboxes so not my forte where would I be undercharging please 😕

Well I suppose it’s down to the local competition, which there isn’t a lot of round here. I have a job on currently for a 13’4″ x 4′ box. Cost incl vinyl 600 squids, 1800 squids fitted. A day’s work. I don’t do a lot of lightboxes so maybe I’m charging too much. Never mind, eh.

How many hands to help on a job like that Big G (?)

Now, that would be nice.

One of those a week would be very nice. I usually fit them on my own but on this one I’ve got a lad helping me out.

[John Harding]

Gig G Now there a trade secret you must share with me – how do you fit light boxes on your own – me I sort of run out of hands for holding steady drilling screwing etc all on my jack 😕
