Sandra, Yup that's the same way we do Math at UNReno. I was an Ag major there. :-) I used to round up or down, but decided recently to charge for the portion of the 1000. 10.5 K (10,500) would be $9.00 plus .5 @ .5 per K . = $0.25-- 10.5K would be $9.25 cr Cheryl Rotter Team Sports Ink 5111 Grumann Dr. Ste #1B Carson City, NV 89706 775-884-3550 -----Original Message----- From: amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sandra Walker Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 1:58 PM To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [amayausers] Re: Pricing Thanks Cheryl. Let me see if I'm following...For one or two shirts with 10,000 stitches, you would charge $9.00 per shirt? That's $ 5.50 for the first 3K + 3.50 (.50 x 7K) -------- $9.00 total I'm a Texas Aggie and that's the way we learned to do math at A&M :-) Sandra A&E Custom Embroidery 936.588.1015 800.291.6953 We make your life more colorful...and your business more visible! ----- Original Message ----- From: Cheryl Rotter <mailto:tsiemb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 3:32 PM Subject: [amayausers] Pricing Dear Sandra, Here's a price chart below that I copied from a sub contract shop that use to do our embroidery.

I basically offer them sort of a wholesale price, based on a sliding scale with higher quantities costing them less. The minimum charge is for 3 thousand stitches. Where Q= Quanity of garments. This is only quantities to 71 our scale goes to 432 garments at 3K costs $1.15 ea. As you can see the place we copied this from has a lot of heads. But the chart gives you an idea of what we do. Q 1-2 Q 3-5 Q 6-11 Q 12-23 Q 24-47 Q 48-71 3K minimum 5.50 3.5 3.00 3.00 2.50 2.00 Each additional K (thousand) is .50 .50 .40 .35 .30 .20 .18 Hope this helps, don't really know if it's a standard. We use it based on a contract embroiderer in Reno who we used to send all of our embroidery to. Cheryl Rotter Team Sports Ink 5111 Grumann Dr. Ste #1B Carson City, NV 89706 775-884-3550
