Sylvie,
Asking how much you should charge for foil is like asking how much you should
charge for a screenprint job.
It all depends on your costs and what profit margin you are comfortable with.
In the USA, foil costs anywhere from $38 to $60 a roll ( 2 feet by 200 feet),
so you figure out the cost of foil based on your per piece cost, which means
you have to calculate the area of the image being foiled. Next you charge for
the labor involved in doing the heat transfer and then the cold peel. We charge
our usual print price for the screenprint and for the foil we may give them a
better price as we have already got the print work.
Make sure you add at least one inch around the design and also, do not gang
pieces together as it will leave lines in your image. Most people are able to
transfer about 100 pieces an hour per machine with one operator. Calculate your
labor and overhead costs attributed to the foil process, add your desired
margin and voila....c'est magnifique!!!! Hope that helps,

Subject: [SE-List] Foil - how do you price?
Hello all,
The list is quiet, so I guess it is a good sign: everyone is busy!
I have a request for a job we could do since we have the equipment, and
all supplies available at our supplier's and I don't think many do this
kind of job around here: FOIL.
We would have a job that would require foil, and I was wondering how
much we should charge for that? At this point it would be 1 gross (144
shirts) minimum.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
Sylvie
