How Making Costs Determine\u00a0 Wedding Card Costs<\/h2>\n
The making costs include mainly cutting costs and labour costs. When laser cutting, time equals money. And this applies to not only wedding cards but also all laser cutting<\/a> and engraving jobs. The cutting cost is, therefore, determined by the machine making time. The longer the laser machine takes to cut one single card, the higher the price will be for that card.<\/p>\n So in laser cutting, time is so important. If you take much time cutting an intricate design, there are other hidden costs. These are costs related to the wear and tear of the laser machine, especially the laser tube and the costs of electricity. It\u2019s, therefore unprofitable and not cost-effective to run a job where you only end up pleasing the client without any gain. It’s one reason why a laser-cut wedding card is more expensive than a digitally printed card.<\/p>\n Labour Costs<\/p><\/div>\n Secondly, the labour cost is another making cost. Wedding card costs are also determined by human input. It includes the time and effort taken to design the card. It also consists of the labour of producing it manually after the machine has finished cutting it.<\/p>\n The second type is the material cost.

Not all cardstock papers cost the same. Some papers are as low as UGX 300 (0.8 US dollars) while others cost UGX 500 (0.14 US dollars) or higher. The type of paper a client selects for their cards is one of the determining factors.<\/p>\n Wedding card embellishments are materials we use to spice up the appearance. They create an appealing effect on the card. They include mainly ribbons and buttons. The kind of card embellishment you choose also determines the cost of your wedding cards.<\/p>\n Keeping the above costs in mind, we\u2019ve discovered two ways you can reduce wedding card costs without compromising on the quality of the cards.<\/p>\n #1 \u2013 Reduce the machine cutting time<\/strong><\/p>\n We use the laser machine to cut the paper and sometimes the buttons if the client opts for custom wooden card embellishments.
