Casting label cost

[nsfr1206]

Don't know if this is the place to ask, but a friend wants to know how much I could cast him a label pen for. Probably use a Sierra type kit and an Avery label on the tube. Any ideas? David

I would go to www.testors.com. They have labels that are known as water slide decals. Here are the links to the products you will need, and also a tutorial.

Should cost about $24 to get started, but you will be set for awhile.

Hope this helps!

Actually he was wondering how much I would charge him for it. I can tell you what I would charge for a slimline wooden pen but have no knowledge on what a pr pen cost or is worth. David

Oh, I'm sorry. I misunderstood.

I would charge around $49. That's just me.

Computer label, cast in PR and turned....It takes me longer to do the artwork for the label than it does to cast and turn the pen. I charge $65 for chrome. Using the more expensive platings and the price goes up.
Do a good turn daily!
