2" relief numbers counting the digits....
« on: January 30, 2013, 11:53:56 AM »
I am doing some contract printing and want to know what the industry standard is for numbers.... do i count each digit  number 10 being 2 digits or would that be 1 number?
thanks

For screenprinting, I'd say a number is a number.

For heat seal, at least in my shop, two digits is charged more, but usually not double as though it is more material, perhaps more weeding if cad-cut, but same application labor.

Now, what are relief numbers? Are those the guys that get reversed out of an oval or rounded rectangle?
If you are using paper stencils, I'd still say same price, and if vinyl letters as the reverse stencil, roll the extra nickel into the total.

We also charge the same either 1 or 2 digits. But you need to know your costs, screening vs. cad cut. We screen most as we have the Inline Tech numbering machine, but we also cad cut for a local college which has it's own special font, all the numbers are italicized (what a pain) but they pay without complaining, and we do get more for cad cut.
