Pricing of Made-to-Measure Emblem or Logo Flooring Inserts is determined by the "degree of difficulty" involved in the development of a computer aided cutting program for each design or element of a design, the complexity of the logo or emblem art, the actual cutting of the flooring material to be used, the cost of that material itself, the overall size of the flooring insert to be created and the number of copies of the flooring insert to be produced.

       In the way of comparison, Porcelain Tiles are much harder to cut and to work with than Vinyl or Rubber Tiles. Where certain designs of modest size might be executed in Vinyl or Rubber in one cutting session; that is the tiles might be able to be put on the cutting table and cut at one time, the same designs, executed in porcelain tiles, might have to be cut a tile-at-a-time with a separate computer aided cutting program created for each tile; i.e. for each cutting session.

       Determining the brand, style and quantity of flooring material to be used in fabricating a Made-to-Measure Flooring Insert can require a good deal of attention in and of itself. Within each type of flooring product there is often a range of pricing options. Imported goods are often more costly than domestic. Prices for fancier domestic goods may exceed more modestly designed flooring materials. There may even be differences from one color or shade to another within the same product line or family of products. There may be requirements for purchasing certain minimum amounts of a particular color tile or a broken carton penalty for ordering less than a full carton, or certain products may have longer lead times than others in the same line, which could have effects on both pricing and the delivery schedule. Certain products are known to result in higher waste factors, which need to be figured into the costing process. Again, Porcelain experiences more breakage than either Vinyl or Rubber tiles.

       Therefore, pricing of a Made-to-Measure Flooring Insert more often evolves from one major aspect of the process to the next rather than being presented at the outset as a complete proposal or estimate. The cutting price can be determined once the design (read: camera ready art), the size, the number of copies and the general type of material to be used is identified. Customers must have in the back of their minds the fact that to that figure will be added the cost of material, shipping charges, installation charges and applicable sales tax for deliveries to NY, NJ or CT. Installation can be quoted by The Mat King in most instances, however, Made-to-Measure Flooring Inserts are prepared and supplied in a convenient format that can be installed by local flooring mechanics. Customers who already own or who have access to their own flooring material or who wish to purchase it independently may do so and have The Mat King use that material for fabrication of their Made-to-Measure Flooring Insert. In such instances, pricing will be based on design adaptation and cutting.

       To request a custom price quotation for a Made-to-Measure Flooring Insert, please submit your art in JPG or PDF format and identify the type of flooring material to be used, the overall size of the field to be covered, the number of copies of the flooring insert to be ordered and contact information, including your name, company name, contact phone and Fax numbers, e-mail address, and destination city, state and Zip Code. If multiple copies are to be ordered and drop shipped to various locations, please indentitfy each destination city, state and Zip Code.

       A detailed cutting plan or Shop Drawing is presented shortly after receipt of purchase order. Adjustments or changes to that plan can be investigated and will be incorporated depending on the limitations of the material and cutting process. Colorization will be based on materials available from the selected manufacturer. Quantities for material required for the flooring insert will be determined after the material is identified.
