Starting Over in Real Time with Aimee Allen
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!
