What the guy is looking for is a set price for your work so that when he is talking to a client who likes your work, he can tell his customer how much his customer will pay to use you as his designer.

We have a bank of designers who provide us with a set price for a label design. They range between $250 and $1250. And I have a portfolio of designers that I can show to my customers. They choose the designer, and the work is charged to us, we pay the designer.

In this guy's case, there are a variety of jobs that he'll want to use you for, so the other poster's suggestion of the pricing guide is a very good one.

You could say, I charge this for website design, this for a logo design, this for a corporate package and anything out of the ordinary would be negotiated on a project by project basis, based on the pricing guidelines of the latest of that book.

I like your work too... are you interested in adding your portfolio to our private label designers? We make hot sauces and various food products. If so, email me offlist at tbrooks at peppermaster.com. I can't guarantee anyone will hire you, but I'd like to be able to offer your work as a label designer, (you name your price, of course).
