While everybody has there own way of pricing it I price mine by sq. ft. If it is a simple white banner with vinyl I charge so much a sq ft and then 50% extra for the other side. If it is a printed banner I just charge for 2 banners and then stitch together.

Whatever you charged for a single sided banner.... you know, cost of banner, print one side.... just double your printing cost and you have it.

You didn't double up on anything other than one extra side to print. Rip was the same, hemming, materials and supplies were the same..... just the extra ink and time.

Charge more than 2x the sq foot

2 sided banner materiel costs about 3 times what single sided materiel does. Plus there is always the chance that something bad will happen when printing the second side...which of corse ruins the profit. We always charge more than double the price. Today we are doing a 3x30' banner. There is the possibility that the printer will hickup at about the 25th foot of the second side. It's happened before.

Charge at least double for the printing. Yes, you are not using additional material but double sided printing is a mechanical process that requires extra attention and has a greater potential for waste. You have to realign the back side and make heat adjustments. The back side actually takes more time to print considering setup.

If you want to charge less, do so because of the total square footage not because you are saving $.25 sq/ft on the back side.
