My standard mark up for materials is 50%. If there is a special substrate that I have to buy That I may not use again, or something like foamcore that may get damaged before it gets used, the client pays for the total purchase. For example, if you buy a short roll of special stuff for a job, put the whole cost of the roll into the job. Your mark-up becomes the balance of the roll. If that doesn't feel like its good for you, add a 50% mark-up. Remember, retailers standardly markup what they sell 100-300%
