How to Quote Banners, Signs, and Decals in Wraptor: Print Catalog, Quantity Breaks, and Finishing

To quote banners, signs and decals in Wraptor, turn on Print & signs under Shop → Shop Standards → What you sell, set up your products once under Money → Quote Settings → Materials, labor & add-ons → Print & signs, then go to Money → Quotes → New Quote, pick the customer, tap Print & signs and press Start quote. The quote opens on Per unit pricing with the Print products & catalog panel open, and no vehicle is asked for. Pick a product, set its size, quantity and finishing, and Wraptor prices every piece at the quantity break it reaches, then shows the customer what the next two breaks would cost.

The short version

• •Set the catalog up once. Each product holds its size, material, selling rate, quantity breaks, finishing, setup fee and minimum.
• •Starter rates are labeled suggestions. Load starter catalog adds five products at suggested US retail rates, badged until you save each one.
• •Three ways to price. Square foot, Linear foot (longest side) or Each, always per printed side.
• •Every piece gets the rate its quantity reaches. Up to five breaks per product, a warning when a bigger order would cost less, and a price ladder on the customer's quote.
• •No vehicle, ever. A Print & signs quote never opens the vehicle estimator.
• •Quote, ticket, reorder. Print job ticket gives the floor the spec without prices, and Reorder repeats it at current catalog rates.

Why print quoting needs its own workflow

A wrap quote starts from a vehicle. A print quote starts from a product, and "how much for 25 yard signs?" depends on size, substrate, sides, quantity, finishing and whether the order clears your minimum. The customer comparing you with an online printer also wants to know what 50 would cost.

Most shops shopping for sign shop quoting software already have their rates. The gap is getting everyone at the counter to quote a product the same way, then getting the approved spec to the printer without retyping it. What to charge is covered in how to price signs and banners; this guide covers where those rates live in Wraptor.

Step 1: Turn on Print & signs

1. 1.Open Shop → Shop Standards → What you sell (Settings permission).
2. 2.Switch on Print & signs. Shops that pick a print or sign shop type at sign-up already have it.

Print & signs then gets its own chip on the New quote sheet, its own tab under Materials, labor & add-ons, quotes titled Print order when you leave the title blank, and customer wording that says "your order" instead of "your wrap". If your catalog is empty when you switch it on, Wraptor fills it with the five starter products.

A wrap shop doing the occasional banner can skip this: a Print products chip under "What are you doing?" opens the same panel on an Other work quote.

Step 2: Build your print catalog

Open Money → Quote Settings → Materials, labor & add-ons → Print & signs. It has two parts: the Print catalog, which holds the products your quotes start from, and Per-item add-ons, your price list for design time, installation, rush and delivery.

Start from the starters

Press Load starter catalog:

These are suggested starting rates, not yours, and Wraptor labels them "suggested — edit to your shop" until you save each product with Edit → Save to catalog. The customer's quote prints whatever rate is there, with no label, so type your own before your first real quote.

Add your own products

1. 1.Press Add product to open a blank recipe in the Print catalog product sheet.
2. 2.Name it; each name can be used once per shop.
3. 3.Set size, material, Price by, print rate, quantity breaks, finishing, setup fee and minimum (Steps 3 to 5).
4. 4.Press Save to catalog.

The arrows set the order the quote panel lists products in, the pencil edits, and the bin deletes (quotes already using a product keep their numbers). The sheet's Production allowances (bleed, spoilage and roll width) are for material planning and roll fit; they never change the billed area. The print products manual covers every field.

Bottom line: load the starters, type your rates over them, and save each one so the suggested badge clears.

Step 3: Choose how each product is priced

Price by has three choices, and the print rate is always per printed side:

On top of the print go ticked finishing options (Step 5), a Setup / prepress fee charged once per product, and a Minimum product charge. When a product totals less than its minimum, a separate Minimum order adjustment line makes up the difference. Every rate field is a selling rate, not a cost.

*Example, using the starter decal's suggested rates:* 10 contour-cut decals at 6 × 6 in are 2.5 sq ft. Print is $17.50, laminate $7.50 and contour cut $5.00, for $30.00, so the quote adds a $20.00 Minimum order adjustment to reach the $50 minimum.

Step 4: Set quantity breaks and check the ladder

The rate you type is the rate from 1 piece. Under Quantity breaks, Add a quantity break adds a lower rate starting at a bigger quantity, up to five breaks. Every piece is priced at the rate its quantity reaches, with no blending: with breaks at 10+ and 50+, 25 yard signs all sell at the 10+ rate. The preview names the break, as in "Print · 10 pcs × 1 side at the 10+ rate".

Watch for the break-point cliff

A steep break can make a bigger order cheaper than a smaller one. At the starter yard sign rates, 9 signs cost $225 and 10 cost $150, and Wraptor warns you: "10 would cost $150.00 — less than these 9 at $225.00." The quantity break pricing guide covers setting breaks that still make money.

The ladder your customers see

The preview's Customers also see line shows what prints under the product: the next two breaks above the quoted quantity, each with the whole product's price, including finishing, setup and the minimum, before tax. Quote 10 starter yard signs and the customer reads "25 for $275.00 · 50 for $450.00".

Bottom line: the ladder offers the next quantity on every quote for free, so check your break rates before a customer sees them.

Step 5: Set up finishing options

Finishing is a list of checkboxes, each labeled with its price: "Pole pockets, top and bottom — $20.00 per piece", or "— included" at $0. Edit finishing options opens up to 12 per product, each with an Option name, a Charged unit (per piece, per sq ft, per sq ft per printed side, per ft of edge or once per product), a Rate, and Taxed as Materials or Labor.

On the customer's quote, a ticked option with a price gets its own line. A ticked $0 option rides in the description as "incl. Hem and grommets every 2 ft". Unticked options never print, so keep every finish your floor offers on the product and tick only what this job needs.

Step 6: Quote the order without a vehicle

1. 1.Go to Money → Quotes and click New Quote.
2. 2.Under Who is it for?, pick the customer or add a New customer.
3. 3.Under What are you doing?, tap Print & signs, then press Start quote.
4. 4.In Print products & catalog, tap a tile from Your print catalog, Starter presets or Start from a blank recipe.
5. 5.In Configure print product, set the size, quantity, sides, material and finishing, then press Add to quote. The product needs a print rate above $0.
6. 6.Repeat for each product, up to 20 per quote. Each card shows its total and the break it landed on ("10+ rate").
7. 7.Add design, installation or rush from your priced items or with Add a line. Tick Optional add-on — the customer can tick it for an extra the customer decides on.
8. 8.Check the Details card (deposit, Valid until, tax), preview with PDF, then click Send quote, or Copy link and record I shared it another way.

The customer reads one specification line per product (name, size, pieces, sides, material and included finishing), then lines for priced finishing, setup and any minimum adjustment; production notes and artwork names never print. Save this recipe to your print catalog at the bottom of Configure turns a one-off into a catalog product. Later catalog changes never reprice a quote you already built. The quotes feature page covers sending and approval.

Step 7: Record prepress, then print the job ticket

On the quote, Production & prepress holds the artwork filename and revision and three checks: Bleed and trim size checked, Color and resolution checked and Customer approved this artwork revision. Changing the artwork, size, material, sides or finishing clears them. Open Print prep opens the Print Prep tab in Proofs for tiling and cut files.

Approval creates the job. Then:

1. 1.Open the job and choose Packet → Print job ticket.
2. 2.Hand it to the floor. It lists the customer, due date, dimensions, quantities, sides, material, finishing, artwork revision, bleed, roll width, tiling warnings, prepress checks and job notes, and never shows prices.
3. 3.Its spec comes from the latest approved quote; with none, it uses the latest active quote and warns you.

Choosing the Print or Signs workflow preset in Settings → Workflow seeds a Print production checklist on new jobs: Prepress → Print → Laminate → Cut/finish → QC → Pack. Link a product to Substrate from inventory (optional) to see a shop-only margin after substrate. The shop-wide routine, such as Check printer ink levels, stays on Home → Today. The jobs manual covers tickets and checklists.

Step 8: Repeat the order

Use Reorder on the job's Quotes tab, or in the ⋯ menu on a finished print job's row in Money → Quotes. It creates a new job with a draft quote at current catalog rates and clears artwork filenames, production notes and approvals; price changes are noted on the draft. Duplicate, by contrast, copies the old quote's prices as they were.

Customers can start it too. A completed print job offers Order this again on the customer's tracking page, which creates a lead with the previous sizes, quantities, material and finishing for you to confirm.

FAQ

Can I quote print products in Wraptor without a vehicle? Yes. A Print & signs quote opens on Per unit pricing with the print panel open and never asks for a vehicle. A wrap shop that hasn't turned on Print & signs can use the Print products chip, which opens the same panel on an Other work quote.

How do quantity breaks work in Wraptor? The rate you type is the rate from one piece, and you can add up to five lower rates that start at bigger quantities. Every piece in the order is priced at the rate its quantity reaches, so with breaks at 10 and 50, 25 pieces all sell at the 10-piece rate. The preview warns you when a bigger quantity would cost less in total.

What does the customer see on a print quote? One specification line per product, then a line each for priced finishing, setup and any minimum adjustment. While the quote can still be approved, the itemized page and the classic and estimate PDFs also show the next two quantity breaks with the whole product price at each. Production notes and artwork names never print.

Are the starter catalog rates Wraptor's recommended prices? They are suggested US retail starting rates, there so a new print shop can quote in its first minute. Wraptor labels them as suggested until you save each product. The customer's quote prints them with no label, so change them to your own rates before you send.

How do I charge a minimum or a setup fee on small print orders? Each catalog product has a Setup / prepress fee charged once per product and a Minimum product charge. When a product totals less than its minimum, Wraptor adds a separate Minimum order adjustment line for the difference.

Does the print job ticket show prices? No. The Print job ticket in the job's Packet menu shows the customer, due date, dimensions, quantities, sides, material, finishing, artwork revision and prepress checks. It is built from the latest approved quote and leaves every price off.

How do repeat print orders work in Wraptor? Reorder on the job's Quotes tab starts a new job and draft quote from the same specification at your current catalog rates, with artwork, notes and approvals cleared. Customers with a completed print job can press Order this again on their tracking page, which sends you a lead to confirm.
