How To Calculate Your Costs
(Not Counting Your Time)

 

Here are costs of an Average Art Stamp using the costs shown below.  Your Stamp size may be slightly different.  Small Stamps will cost a little More and Large Stamps will be slightly Less but it should average out at approximately 20 Cents per square inch overall.  If you always make the same sized stamp then use that size to figure your costs.    
Liqui-Stamp 0.037   cents /sq. inch 
Substrate 0.023   cents /sq. inch
Reversing Negative 0.021    cents /sq. inch
Reversing Negative Developer 0.0027 cents /sq. inch
Gold Magic 0.0002 cents /sq. inch
Rubber Dam 0.009   cents /sq. inch
Wood Mounts Average 0.076   cents /sq. inch
Red Cushion Mounting 0.0297 cents /sq. inch

Approximate Average Art Stamp cost =   $0.198   cents /sq. Inch

 
To figure Your costs use the figures below for the size of stamp you are making, ADD them up like above and then MULTIPLY the Cost Per Sq. In. by the size of the stamp in square inches.  For instance if  you are making Art Stamps that are 2"x 2" then that is a total of 4 sq. inches x 0.198 cents per square inch equals $0.792 cents for the entire stamp including the  wooden mount.  If  you sell Un-mounted stamps then DEDUCT the price of  the Mount and the Red Cushion Mounting ($0.0923 cents per sq. in.) which leaves a cost of  $0.106 Cents per sq. Inch or a cost of $0.423 cents for a total cost on your 2"x 2" Un-mounted stamp.  11 Cents per square inch is a really low cost for Un-mounted stamps and you should be able to do some excellent business at these prices.  

In this way you will have a very good idea of your actual costs NOT Counting Your time spent and a few small other expenses such as electricity, clean up supplies, etc.  Your costs are VERY COMPETITIVE with most rubber stamp shops in the U.S.A.  These shops buy at your approximate costs also but they will have a much greater overhead and labor cost so you can compete with just about anyone and make money.


IMPORTANT NOTE:

There are several ways to cut your costs even more but we will Discuss these after you have a little experience with your new Art Stamp Maker Kit.  It would take too long to explain at this point. Give Us a call at 800-775-0797 and we will show you how.
