Are there any guidlines for pricing on glass etching? I could come up with cost on creating the stencil, but I have no clue on the actual blasting cost and what is a reasonable price to charge. I understand it would depend on the detail and complexity. Do you have any sample work and an idea of what you would have or did charge?
Thanks in advance,
Rick
HAve you posted the how to on making that special gun yet please?
Hi Tony, I still want to improve the variable pressure gun and test it out before I roll out the plans. But since it has been so cold, I have hesitated working/testing it in the cold garage.
Hi Rick, everyone asks me this and I never ended up etching for a business so Im not exactly sure what to price. I mainly do it for a hobby and turned that business idea into creating this site to help people.
Another thing the pricing depends on is the market your actually doing it for. To be successful, I think you need to target objects with high profit margins. If anyone else has a good answer for this, please leave a comment.
I also usually suggest that you just look around at what the competition is charging through different websites or maybe ask them.
