Market preparation

First Market Packing Checklist

A one-page checklist for stock, display, payments, practical kit and the small things that are easy to forget before your first event. Leave room for the requirements of your own venue.

Market Stock Planner

Plan the quantities you want to bring, then record what you took and sold. The spreadsheet calculates what is left, sell-through and revenue, with space for feedback on each design. Hover over each column heading for a quick explanation. Save a copy for each event so you can compare what you learn over time.

Market learning

Post-Market Notes Sheet

Record what sold, what people picked up or asked about, and one change to test next time. It is designed to help you spot patterns over several events instead of judging everything by a single day.

Workshop records

Artwork-to-Cut Checklist

A one-page preflight check for laser-ready artwork, material and machine setup, and the first test piece. Use it before committing a design to a full production batch, with space to note what needs changing.

Material and Laser Settings Log

Keep a record of each test run: material, machine, power, speed, passes, air assist, finish and what you would change next. Enter pieces attempted and usable to calculate waste and yield. The column headings have hover notes to help you fill it in. Test settings on your own machine and material before production.

Production Batch Sheet

Set a target for one product batch, record each making session, and track finished pieces, rejects, machine time and work time. Tick through production checkpoints and keep notes for the next run. Save a fresh copy for each batch; hover over the headings for guidance.

Costing and pricing

Laser Product Pricing Estimator

Enter your own material yield, machine time, hands-on work, packaging and selling fees. See the cost per piece, a break-even price and a price for your chosen margin, then compare a price you already charge.

The resources work best with the stories and practical advice in the Maker Guides. New worksheets and checklists will be added as the library grows.
