    Hi, wondering what people are charging for printed & laminated signs. I'm mainly using Concept 701 vinyl and Concept laminate. I was paying $120 per metre for my laminated prints before buying my own equipment last year but this seems way too much after adding labour and the panel costs. Do...

    Hi All, I'm quoting on 200 for sale signs (3x2') on coroplast with eyelets. My original quote was $4700 but they got another for $1700 from a company that does these in bulk full time.
