mug pricing structure

[pisquee]

Each of our mugs are a one-off unique design - like an original painting, so there is only so much we can reduce the price by for larger orders, as the same workmanship/artistry/time goes into each mug, whether we are making 1 mug or 1 million. Obviously larger orders enable us to buy blanks in in bigger quantities, so there is a saving to be made there, which can be passed on in the quote. If we were offered an order for the 10000 and they wanted them at £2.50 each, then, yes, they could, but they would be reproduction prints of a few designs, rather than 10000 different original artworks.

Aha, if they are all one offs then £2.50 is cheap but I totally understand that market forces somewhat dictate the price.

Hi Guys

Although I am not going to share my prices, I will say that a few years back I was asked to quote on some mugs for Michael Jackson. They wanted approximately 5000 and they had quotes fom China that worked out at £1.35 per mug including delivery. I seriously considered the job as it meant a profit of around £1750.00. I was then going to get a girl I know to work nights for me to complete the order while I could fulfil other orders during the day. Probably would have cost me about £300 for her time but then £1450.00 profit while I sleep seemed okay to me

Wow! £300 for printing 5000 mugs. Has she got a sister that wants a job?

Hi Andrew

Based on £6.00 an hour @ 100 an hour.

To be honest it may well increase to £350.00 all told.

But even if it doubled. its still money while sleeping

I'd sleep all day as well for that money! lol

Wish I could find someone who could print 100 an hour. Sounds like you have a great one there. Nightshifts usually spend half the night kipping.

Nightshifts usually spend half the night kipping.

Where do I sign up for this type of work. Unsociable hours pay and the ability to kip!!
