Pricing is a perennial problem for all businesses. I started working for a sign shop back in the late nineties. That guy tried charging based on his costs. He would charge double his materials cost, as a rule of thumb. At the time, it seemed to be a competitive rate. I'm not sure how well that would work today. It seems like it might not be enough.

Hi. I’m having problems with R-tape leaving bubbles after being stored. I’ve tried AT75 and AT65. This leads to the customer getting bubbles in their decals when they apply them. Any ideas? I do send them rolled up but I thought that’s how everyone does it.

So is this saying that clear transfer tape shouldn’t be used on glass? Paper transfer tape is better for glass?
@RDIdecals10 күн бұрын
Hello! It works perfectly fine on glass as long as it is not too hot outside. We never have an issue when it is 70 degrees or lower. Paper transfer would be perfect for almost any weather except that it is not the best to layer different colors.
