In the example on this page (die-cut vinyl sticker, 3 in, 100 stickers per batch, prices from October 2026), one sticker costs $0.78. That counts every material, packaging and 1 h 30 min of labour at $20.00 an hour, plus 38 min on the cutter. Your cost depends on your prices and your batch size, so put in your own numbers.
Divide your cost per sticker by 1 minus the margin you want. With a cost of $0.78 and a 60% margin, the price is $0.78 / 0.40 = $1.94. If you also sell wholesale, check that half of that price still covers your cost.
