Why Pricing Matters for Your Sublimation Business
One of the biggest challenges crafters face isn't perfecting their heat press technique—it's knowing what to charge. Price too low and you're essentially paying to work. Price too high without justification and customers walk away.
The Golden Formula
Selling Price = Materials + Labor + Overhead + Profit
This simple formula ensures every sale contributes to your business growth, not just covers your costs.
Common Pricing Mistakes to Avoid
-
Forgetting ink and paper costs - These add up fast!
-
Undervaluing your time - Pay yourself at least $15-25/hour
-
Ignoring overhead - Electricity, equipment wear, and workspace all cost money
-
Skipping profit margin - You need room to grow and handle unexpected costs
-
Copying competitor prices - Their costs and goals are different from yours
