Hiya, another Newbie! Any tips on costing?

Hi Minty

I am also a packaging designer and the way I cost it is to give a project cost which would be worked out by considering how long you think it will take you and times that by your hourly fee and add say a days worth on top to cater for changes (this time will depend on how complex the packaging is and time spent with the printers making sure they get it right). In the quote state how many revisions they get or additional hours on revisions as part of the project fee, then say how much per hour it will cost them beyond the quoted revisions. (Make this hourly a bit higher than usual to discourage them from messing about on continual revisions so you can get on with your next job).

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that, that's a great help!
