E51: I Visited 2 Print Shops and Got 2 Different Prices for Thank You Cards and Branded Stickers.

I went to 2 different print shops to get some quotes for the things I want to print as part of my packaging.  

I designed a thank you card that I will add to each and every beach bag.  I also want to use my logo and create a large sticker that I will use as part of my packaging. 

I will need to print 220 of these two items separately.  I didn't expect the cost to be cheap, but I got two crazy different prices from the two print shops I went to. 

The first print shop quoted me 600 AED for 220, 10cm by 10cm thank you cards, printed in color and on card style paper.  Thats over $150 for just the thank you card.  They also quoted me 30 AED per each sticker that I wanted to print.  So for 220 stickers, that would 6,600 AED, which is about $1800.  That was a crazy amount of money to spend on stickers.  

The second print shop I went to visit quoted me 300 AED for the same thank you cards, and 400 AED for the same stickers that I wanted to get.  That is a total of 700 AED, which is $190.  When you spread out that cost per beach bag, that add .90 cents to each bag, and that feels a lot more reasonable. 

Next thing to figure out is product images for Amazon.  Stay tuned!
