I came up with $55 a square foot for routing only as the files are done by them. If the size of the sign is small but detailed as this one was I got $60 per hour for routing and the setup. The routing and setup took 3 hours so I made more money this way. They supply the files, the materials, do the finishing and deal with the customers. So to answer you my formula is $55 per sq ft for 2D and $60 an hour for 3D. As I said in my original post this is for a company that does mostly wholesale signs for other shops. So I guess I am a sub-sub contractor. I will monitor this arangement as I go along to make sure it works and adjust if necessary.
