Embroidery and Digitizing

this is what might be discussed somewhere, but let all of embroiderers coming around here to write a short note about their pricing.
what I mean is the pricing not of digitizing service, but the embroidery service ONLY.
Thanks in advance for all that drop a line.

In Ukraine if you make big order - price will be less, than 0.10, but I dont see reason to work for such money.

Oh ... ! Fura ...
We are in China,we do not offer embroidery service but doing digitizing and embroidered patches ... ( I am sorry,1965,this seems going far from your thread,but I feel that I have to say somthing ... )

Well,I am not going to try to change your impression about Chinese quality.
Just want to let you know that ... during the past 30 years,a lot of people come to China for low price the most,but not quality.Because China was so poor before ( I do not mean China is rich now,just better now ),so everything was cheap especially for the labor --- China has such a big population !!! That is the reason why people usually think " Made in China " representing poor quality and low price.
Even though,there were still a lot of companies,the did very good jobs on quality,they supported Chinese quality.

Nowadays,the industrials construction in China changes a lot.The most obvious thing is that the RMB value rises a lot.The initial exchange rate of RMB againsts US Dollar was approximate 12:1 about 11 years ago when I first time worked in a factory ... now,it stays around 6.8:1 --- also Chinese Labor is not that cheap anymore --- so a lot of small companies ( or even you can call them workshops only ) can not alive at all with only offering low price and poor quality products.What all the industrials have to do is that,to improve the quality,and to be creative.No matter for domestic market or overseas market --- more and more people are asking quality & environmental products now.

There is an interesting thing here in this years that,before,a lot of products,you could not see them in domestic market,because they were exported to abroad.Now,these " exported products " show in domestic markets --- when you walk on a small street here in China,and when you see there is a store claims that their products are " exported " but now converted to sell in domestic --- maybe that is a hot store ! As people here have some kind of " awareness " that the " exported products " are better !!! --- In fact,this is true for most of the time.
I think this is also some kind of Chinese charaters --- always to show / do their best to others --- just a little experience of mine to MOST OF THE CHINESE.:)

Fura, hi again.
I am not to discuss quality. Pointing is only over the embroidery service pricing. The different area's pricing.

I saw in other thread about this:
"....the going rate is about 1$ per thousand ..." ( no info whre it si, but its USA)
"....We did start at $1/1,000 and then came down .10 " ( Location: Aurora, NE, USA)
" ... in the San Antonio market going rate is 40cents per thousand! And some places will go as low as 25cents to keep a client!..." (location: San Antonio, Texas, USA)

Hope all these represent actual pricing info.
And realy hope that nobody round the world can imagine that quality in USA could be 10 times higher than quality in Ukraina or Bulgaria :)....

I dont belive that there is such price in USA, as 0.25$...
Someone in Ukraine, Russia, Polland write too low price, but indeed price is higher, they didnt tell about tax...
I saw on Ebey american embroidery, price is so high, but quality is so low... There is a paradox in USA, embroidery machine are really cheap, threads is also cheap, but why price for embroidery service is so high? In Ukraine used Tajima NEO costs 15000$ (with extensions)... Amaya XT - 19000$ (new)

Location, quantity, type of item (caps, bags, flats or speciality),rush, local or internet are all factors that greatly effect US embroidery pricing. The standard type of thread (e.g. Madeira vs. Robinson Anton used doesn't.

The question is what is the real price of the embroidery service ( or production, however we call it)
Can you write down your base price, please. Just for a refference. No more.
For example, if you have prices like 0.2 USD / 1000 st. and the same time if you have prices like 1.1 USD / 1000 st. it must be writen if you want to participate to my thread.
I guess you dont mind

Fura,
What we beleive is not what to discuss on that thread. Its a virtual world here. But we real persons. Our countries are real too. Our deals too. Our pricing and living standard too.
So, please keep my line of the thread clean.
It is realy good to talk about who and how makes himself best in the world with best possible service and best low pricing, but let you start such a thread and I will like to participate with my thinking writen there.
Who can beleive me, or who can belive your words, or who can beleive other's replies is only matter of his own wish and position.
Everything can be checked and tested. Even who I am, even who you are, even who is on the oher side of the globe and all of our talks if they true or not.
However anyone here can write whatever he wants...
Lets see it
:) I like your replies, whatsoever

Looks like you're asking about cost of embroidery rather than its price. The cost too depends on different components and varies from state to state and firm to firm... just like for any other service or product.

I never asked my customers how much they charged their customers :) But when I did embroidery myself, my prices depended exclusively on the factors SunEmbroidery mentioned earlier.

P.S. I hope it was short enough ;) Cheers!

You mean you russian?
If so, and if you make digitizing embroidery only to customers too far located, and if you never had idea of embroidering pricing (into some area where you belong to, or you are familiar with) you would never know how embroiderers calculate their price, so maybe you woudnt have to write a word into my thread here :)
However I like your style and your strive to help me keep this thread helpful.
But if you know actual info about Italy's area, you may write these prices at last. Min to Max

1965, can you show us some of you works?

Fura, I realy like your style.
You curious, aren't you? What I dont like is your off topic again.
Please note that here I have started a thread about embroidery pricing around different places round the globe.
This thread is mostly for those that want to share (obviously they should be embroidery companies, or digitizers that are realy close to that issue) and for.. their potential customers.
So, this specific thread (of mine) is not to tell others how great I am. Or to tell how others are away of the professional's level.
What I sugest you is to open up a new one thread and ask not only me, but all digitizers around, to participate and show what they do.
I will non stop upload my works there (in your thread) until i find a good party to serve from distance. ( Could take a lot of time, means you can see a lot about me, if keeping your interest. )
Hope you appreciate my idea.

For those that read this:
fellows, please, keep the topic in my thread clean (on, or whatever you may call it in english)

I know you are going to get mad for on "off topic" remark here.

But there is just too many variables in your question. From material, to location, colors, thread, quantities, etc.

There is no direct answer to your question.

However, to give you somewhat of an answer, I'm going to assume that you want
4 color design, 6K stitch count, on CAPS with a quantitiy of 2,500pc
Your price would be $1.50 each.

Elle, no worry about going out of the topic, I appreciate you have participated again.
Just please say shortly about PRICING ( the actual matter of my thread) :) in addition of all you have posted.

(9100 sts design, 4 colours )

Hope we both understand our english speaking and you will not ask me to repeat my question.
Finaly after your clear pricing details given in all these 4 cases (from up there) I will be able to have the exact idea of your pricing policy.
By the way, this could bring some eventual customers if they (can) read my post and your reply.
However some guys from here cant understand my english, (I am still not a native english speaker and will never be in whole my entire life for pity :)) But me and you both can understand eachother and hopefully some others (of the native english speakers) can do this.
Thanks in advance.
