Re: Pricing??
Ok, I should probably elaborate on the above.
We charge $2.50 for your average one-off walk in, for a name on someone's jacket, which i know is very high. mainly cause we don't really want to be bothered with the onesies, however, lately, we've found that $2.50 is about the going rate for name dropping around Boston, MA. So I guess we're not as expensive as we used to be.
I don't do a lot of contract embroidery, I do have a pricing policy that we follow, and its based off $1/k and $1.25/k on caps. with discounts for quantity, and I tend to give a lil bit of a break on larger designs. I try to steer them away from contract, I don't want to deal with them shipping in their own blanks, us ruining a few, and yadda yadda yadda. However, like dan said, its money, take it, and I do.
I am a supplier as well, If they BUY the garment from me, which is ideally what I want them all to do, I generally mark the garment up accordingly and then charge 25-50 cents per K for embroidery.
Example (based on 144 pcs): A very nice 6 panel cap costs about $.65 cents (USD) which would get marked up to the customer x5 keys to $3.25 then say a 10k stitch design is being sewn, so I would charge about 40 cents (cause its a cap) so $4 for 10/k stitches. $3.25 for cap and $4.00 for embroidery, is $7.25 per cap
