For sticker & card makers

The real business is by the dozen.

Retail is the fun table; wholesale is the business. Cards move by the dozen on a line sheet, stickers run 200 at a time from the printer, and the margin question is always the same: what does one unit truly cost, and what does it clear at wholesale minimums? MadeKeeper answers per unit, per run, per channel.

How MadeKeeper maps to your print runs

Runs costed to the unitA 200-sticker die-cut run logs at the printer's invoice; each sticker knows its share. Cards, sleeves, and envelopes per-100 work the same way.

Wholesale and retail, separatelyThe $5 retail sticker and the $2.50 line-sheet price are different businesses. Channels keep them apart, so wholesale volume can't quietly masquerade as retail margin.

Die-cut, kiss-cut, and the sticker clubFormats are variants; the monthly sticker-club subscription is recurring revenue with its own costs — both first-class citizens in the books.

Markets, Etsy, and consFair tables, Etsy orders, con weekends, and Faire wholesale each track their own sales and fees — and the event math ranks your weekends.

One sticker, to the penny

Say you order a die-cut run of 200:

Print run of 200 die-cut stickers$62.00
Sleeve and backer, each$0.04

Cost per sticker$0.35

Retail at $5.00 clears $4.65; wholesale at $2.50 in dozens clears $2.15 a unit. Both are good businesses — as long as you know which one you're doing, and MadeKeeper keeps them from blurring.

Straight about what's live

Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Questions sticker and card makers ask

How do print runs get costed?

Log the printer's invoice against the run quantity, and the per-unit cost falls out. Reorders at better volume pricing update the numbers — so scaling actually shows up in your margins.

Can MadeKeeper handle wholesale minimums and line sheets?

Wholesale is its own channel with its own prices. Sell by the dozen at line-sheet rates and the books keep wholesale margin honestly separate from retail.

What about subscription sticker clubs?

Log club shipments as recurring sales with their real per-shipment costs — postage included. You'll know what each subscriber actually pays you after the envelope is sealed.
