    Default Printing posters for a band to sell as merch online

    I recently did a gigposter for a touring band and their manager contacted me asking if I could reprint a run for the band to sell on tour/online store. I believe they would be selling them for around 10 dollars a print. Any ideas as to what would be a reasonable rate I should charge? I've always sold them at shows and have yet to run into this situation. Also, I'm assuming sales tax would be necessary as well. Any help would be great! thanks

    How many would you be printing? How many colors? How much is your overhead? How much profit do you want to make? Did they already pay you for the design and it would just be reprinting costs? Have you checked the search forum feature? Might find some other threads of people in similar situation.

    Yeah it in order to figure out whats gonna be good for you...you need to figure up your cost, time, etc.....it doesnt matter what they are gonna sell them for. They should mark up their merch based on what it costs them...not them drive you down by pricing it low.

    I love it when people want a price break because they're giving the posters away for free.

    $9 a print?

    The details of the project and your wage determine what's reasonable.
