Quoting & Pricing Workflow
A quote should account for all costs associated with fulfilling the order.
Common Cost Components
Product Cost
- Decoration
- Setup Charges
- Run Charges, if applicable
- Additional Services
- Packaging, if applicable
- Shipping
- Rush Charges, if applicable
= Total Cost
The final client price may also include the company's required markup or margin.
Before Sending a Quote
Check:
- Correct product
- Correct SKU

- Correct color/size
- Correct decoration
- Correct imprint locations
- Setup charges
- Shipping
- Rush charges
