If you are a marble manufacturer you should be aware that overall, colorant is usually the least expensive ingredient in your
finished parts. Calculate your raw material cost for marble dust, catalyst, gel coat, wax, clay and pigments. You'll see
that colorant is actually the least expensive item in the list, yet it gives your product more "impact" and visual appeal than
any other ingredient. Buying quality colorants is mandatory to sucess.
When matching a new color we determine how much the raw materials will cost us then we add our overhead expenses along with a reasonable profit margin. The amount we end up with is our base price. We start from this base price and discount it according to the quantity you order.
Marble manufacturers use far more light colors as background or “base colors” and they use dark intense colors more as veining or “accent” colors.
Light colors are normally formulated by combining Titanium Dioxide with a small amount of “tint” pigments. Titanium Dioxide is relatively inexpensive and even after you’ve added in the cost of the “tint” pigments, a light color like Bone has a lower raw material cost than a bright color like Antique Red. When you start off with a low raw material cost, your selling price should also be lower, and ours are. That’s also why each one of our colors has it’s own individual selling price.
Now, if you’re currently paying the same price for both light and dark colors are you paying too much for the light, or too little for the dark? Which one do you buy more of? Are you wasting your money?
Fortunately, using the best doesn’t cost any more because Designer Marble Colors are competitively priced. We’re not less expensive on every color, and we’re not claiming to be, but we are probably less expensive on the colors you use most often. We suggest you compare our prices yourself and confirm how much you could save.
Unfortunately we cannot control price increases by our suppliers and all prices are subject to change without notice. We will no longer post our pricing sheets on the internet, but will be happy to supply you with one upon request.
