montage service + print..how much??

damienster · 3rd January 2006

I'm doing wedding and social events like at the community centre. Frankly speaking, I only noe how to take pics. If i send my pics in cd-rom, how much will this service below cost as i noe nuts about good layout and design of montage:

1) montage service
2) typically an average stick-on photo/wedding album about 10sheets, which means ard 20+ pages. (just the average ablum, not refering to those high end type).
3) cold lamination on all prints
4) print out on A4/8R or S8R size

that means those type of wedding albums you see at IMM or those bridal shops that display outside their shop... which can be ready and waiting to be delivered to my client liao.

thanks!!!

Well..

1) i did a pre-wedding montage for a friend before. Her bridal shop wanted to charge her $600 for it.
2) $50 can get u a good one
3) 4R cold lamination is $.70 each ( or about there)
4) go shop and chk..but cold lamination for big size gets proportionally more expensive.

Alternatively, for pre-wedding albums and the likes, they dun use stick on. Its printed as A3 ( or square format or whatever), cold laminated and binded. Thus each album can cost about $200-$300 to make.
Maybe i can help u out with it. I haven't got much experience though
