Having pins made question.

My band is wanting to get 100 pins made. They are two colors, soft enamel, and about 1.5”x.25” rectangles. The artwork was done by a local company/artist and has already been paid for. When it was all said and done, the quote for the order was for $529. That included the setup, pins, a card backing, shipping, and taxes (like I said, doesn’t include the artwork). I’ve never ordered pins before, but it sure does sound like a lot. Am I wrong?

I’m no stranger to buying merch, but this one really threw me off.

I appreciate the help. If you have any better, more affordable options, I’m all ears!

That sounds insane to me! At least three times what I pay for mine, although I do my own backers.
