Pricing Trap Alert

The Undercutting Trap.

Copying competitor prices is a trap. Real, smart businesses price on Cost-Plus-Margin—and we make the math stupidly simple.

Undercutting local quotes by 5% or 10% feels like a shortcut to winning jobs. But it is a financial race to the bottom. Your competitors might have automatic presses printing 6 times faster than your manual setups, cheaper rent, or zero debt. Copying their numbers means you are pricing below your actual shop expenses.

Different Shop Overhead

You don't share their rent, machine debt, or staff costs. Pricing must start from your actual cost basis.

Press Speed Discrepancy

If they run an auto press (600 garments/hr) and you print manual (100/hr), undercutting them guarantees lost cash.

Copying Failing Models

Many competitors guess their own rates and operate at a loss. Copying them means copying a failing model.

Stupidly Simple Math

Print Life calculates your exact Cost + Margin automatically. Know your exact profit before you send a single quote.
