OK, still trying to get a feeling for things. Most of what we have produced have been designs, plaques etc. Now we have a client looking to mark items, mostly with just lettering with maybe an occasional logo, on items they supply. In this case it's handcuffs and mag lights for a law enforcement supplier.
I have seen some charge by inch and some charge by the traditional engravers per letter charge. Set-up on items will be minimal once I get templates set-up and other items, like the cuffs, it will be almost none existent. There will be a mixture of items that need something like Cermark (cuffs) and items that do nit (mag lights, pens, etc).
