what should i charge people for giftwrapping?

Answer 1

if you sold the product you shouldn't charge for gift wrapping

Answer 2

It depends on the circumstances. Are you selling a product and providing giftwrapping, or are you a stand-alone gift wrapping service?

Figure out the cost of your product per package, the time involved, and what the market will bear. There won't be a high profit margin; I would think the lower the price, the more people you'll get.

Answer 3

Things to consider, did you have to buy a box to wrap it perfectly? Charge for the outer box.

Charge more if using that fancy aluminum foil wrap. Its way so cooooool looking!

How large is the package?

Did you use the heavier type gift wrap or the cheaper lightweight tissue wrap?

Did you need to use package peanuts, foam bits?

Take a look at JcPenney gift wrap area, and compare the prices.

Did a fancy bow, you made it yourself or the peel off stick on bow used? Price difference that.

Are you a licensed business owner? Charge a sales tax too?

Did said person prebuy the gift wrap and you send back the leftover gift wrap? Charge less.

Answer 4

Depends on the material you buy.
.50 for a small box
.75 for a medium box
1.00 for a large box

Answer 5

Check local stores and see what they are charging.

Check and see what price you'll have to pay for boxes, wrap, tape, bows, etc. and make sure you charge enough to pay for that (including any waste) and make a decent hourly "wage" too.

Answer 6

Check on what department stores charge, and stay a bit below that.

Answer 7

You should do it for free out of the kindness of your heart.

Answer 8

Nothing, don't be greedy
