How shops actually price, and what it handles
Nobody prices a banner as square feet times a number. The sheet holds the rules you already use, so the person at the counter gets the same answer you would.
- Minimum charge per line
- Each material has its own floor. A single 12 x 18 coroplast comes out at $8.10 on the sample sheet, so the line goes to the $25 minimum and the estimate says why.
- Quantity breaks
- Your tiers and your percentages, taken off the print line. The sample uses 10+ at 10% and 25+ at 15%; change them to whatever you run.
- Double-sided
- Ink is charged once per side, and a flat setup goes on once per job for lining up the second side.
- Grommets, hem, pole pocket
- Grommet count comes from the spacing and the size, corners included: a 3 x 6 at every 2 ft is 10 per banner. Hem and pockets go by the linear foot.
- Lamination
- By the square foot, per laminated side.
- Design time
- Hours at your shop rate, as its own line, so the customer sees that layout is not free.
- Rush
- One percentage on the job, on or off at the counter.
- Install
- Hours at your install rate, only when you are hanging it.
- Tax, deposit, valid-until
- Your tax rate, your deposit percentage, and a date 30 days out printed on every estimate.
What it doesn't do
- Job board
- Inventory
- Invoicing
- Customer database
- Payments
It prices the job and hands you an estimate you can print or send as a PDF. That is all. If you want the whole shop run from one system, with production tracking and invoices, shopVOX and Printavo do that, and they are the right call for it.

Set up my shopWhy $29
The shop-management suites start at $109 a month and charge for job boards, inventory and per-user seats. A shop that only needs consistent quotes shouldn't pay for all of that.
| Starts at | Staff | Covers | |

| shopVOX Express | $109/mo | + $29 per user/mo | Full shop management. Onboarding from $499; their FAQ puts average setup at 8 to 12 weeks. |

Questions
Is anything I type stored?
Not in the demo. It runs in your browser, sends nothing, and forgets everything when you close the tab. The setup form is different: it sends us your email, shop name and the answers you pick, so we can contact you.
Who built this?
AI City, a small outfit that builds narrow tools for specific trades. We build with AI tools, this page and the calculator included, which is why the math is shown line by line: you can check every figure instead of taking our word for it.
What if my pricing is weirder than this?
Send it anyway and put the odd part in the last box of the form. Size surcharges over a certain board size, tiered square-foot rates, per-color screen charges on apparel: we will tell you plainly whether the sheet can hold it before you spend any time on it. Apparel pricing by color count is not in the demo yet.
