Then it gives you a price at the margin you choose, at 1, 10, 25, 50 and 100 pieces. We built it in our own family-run engraving shop, where we quote tumblers, awards, coasters and patches every week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost engraving calculators skip machine wear and overhead, so shops end up underpricing. This one turns each machine into a true cost per run hour, then tracks quoted vs actual on every job so you can see whether your quotes hold up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLight or dark, your choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get two versions with the same features: the bright Daylight spreadsheet and a free Midnight dark mode.
