The letters are separate and are chrome plated. How much would it cost to produce and chrome plate 500 letter assuming it is 1x2x.25 inch and are made of plastic?

Setup charges are the ‘killer’ to a small project like this. The per-letter cost will be pennies, but it will cost several thousand US$ as a setup charge.

The injection molding company *may* have a standard letter-set mold in stock, so that may save a bundle. You’d have to check with each company to find out if they have letters in stock. Be sure and ask if they do the chrome plating, too.

Even if they have a set of letter molds on-the-shelf, they may charge a minimum that will run in the US00’s.
