Price List Template

A price list is the page a customer reads before they talk to you, and a badly set one costs the conversation: prices that do not line up, an item running into its own explanation, no sign of what a price includes. Most printable price lists are a two-column table from a word processor. This one is set like a menu, which is what a price list is: one line per item with a short detail under it, a dotted leader, and the price at the right where every eye goes first.

Your business at the top, with the logo or a drawn mark with your initial. The title at the right, Price list by default or whatever you call it, with a subtitle for the date the prices hold from or the one line of terms that matters. Then up to eighteen items. Each has a name, a detail line that can be left blank, and a price that is formatted for you in the currency you pick, so 2400 becomes $2,400.00 and the column lines up.

One decision worth explaining: no sections. A price list with headings and sub-headings is a catalog, and a catalog is a different job. Eighteen lines on one sheet is what a customer can read standing at a counter, and if you have more, that is two lists or a pared-down one. The customizer holds every line to its limit so nothing runs into the leader.

Six color themes, one of them light ink for the copy taped to the counter that is replaced every month. Five currencies with the symbol and the number format that go with each. A footnote line at the foot for the tax line or the bundle line.

Print it at 100%, not fit to page. Copier paper is fine for the counter copy; a heavier sheet, 65 lb cover, makes the one that goes in the window or the folder. The free version is this design with the sample business and a small credit line at the foot. The paid version carries your business, your logo, your items and your prices, drops the credit line, and comes back in Letter and A4 from one purchase, with a link that works for a year.
