Pick the vinyl type
Calendared, cast, reflective, glitter — each has its own price per square foot.
What to do
Click the vinyl type that matches the application. Outdoor or vehicle? Use cast. Indoor short-term? Calendared.
Why it matters
Choosing the right vinyl up front gets the price right and prevents callbacks when material fails on the wrong surface.
Set the size
Enter the width and height of the design. Printcore uses those dimensions plus the quantity to calculate material usage.
What to do
Type the design's width and height in inches. The estimated material usage updates in real time.
Why it matters
Working from real dimensions keeps your quote accurate even before a final design is approved.
Set weeding complexity
Weeding is the hand labor of pulling away the unwanted vinyl. Tiny serif type takes longer than block letters.
What to do
Pick Easy / Standard / Complex / Very Complex based on how fiddly the design is.
Why it matters
You're paid for time, not just material. This is where most cut-vinyl quotes go wrong — Printcore makes it explicit.
Quantity and finishing
How many pieces, plus options like transfer tape, contour cutting, and lamination.
What to do
Set quantity and tick the finishing options you'll need. The total updates as you change values.
Why it matters
Bulk runs get cheaper per piece. Transfer tape and lamination are the most-forgotten add-ons; this keeps them visible.
Save the quote
Pick a customer, name the job, save.
What to do
Click Save Quote. The job flows to your dashboard with everything ready for the cutter.
Why it matters
Once saved, the file goes straight to your cutter operator with the spec sheet attached.
