Does anyone have rates for printing letters and labels for clients? I need to print almost 500 letters and a 1000 labels. I wanted to do the printing at my local printing store but it just got too complicated in regards to mail merging. I've realized that it would be much easier doing the print job myself and I would be supplying the paper, ink(b/c) and labels.
Well, you could itemize how each portion costs (e.g. a ream of paper costs $5, ink costs $50, etc.) and then break it down by the number of copies you make and maybe tack a little extra on just for the wear and tear of your printer and tongue...lol Oh, and time. Can't forget that.
I think ink cartridges usually will tell you about how many copies it can handle. So you may at least be able to get a good idea of how much a project like that would really cost.

Thanks Stephanie! and for reminding me about my tongue...ugh!
A while back, I saw another VA's website...can't remember, that had rates for printing and I wondered if some VAs on the forum had the same. I've already done what you recommended, I'll just charge between my figure and the figure of my local printers'.
I would not only charge for preparing the document, mail merge, and material & postage, but I'd also charge for folding, stuffing and sealing (FSS). I charge $0.25 per piece of mail. You could also use your hourly rate for FSS. Either way works.
Hi all, newbie here. I love what I've seen of the forum already!
Just had a quick question for Cjherzog about the $0.25 per letter rate... that price doesn't include the supplies and postage, does it? Or does it?!
Thanks for the great place to hang out and learn!
Girl...you go straight to walmart and get the cheapest glue sticks you can, in the mega pack! Haven't you ever heard there is like one calorie in each envelope? Just think what that could do to your girlish figure! :p Just swipe that glue stick right across there like you would your tongue!
Make it a great day!

No, the $0.25 does not include supplies and postage. I have this additional charge listed on my contract forms so there is no confusion with my client.
Printing letters and labels charges?
...ugh!
