To give you a precise quote, we need your project's Gerber files and drill file. If you also need assembly, please send us the Bill of Materials (BOM).
To easily differentiate between production and development boards, you can change the color of the solder mask. For example, using a red solder mask on development boards makes them stand out from standard green production boards.
Another option is to use a different color for the silkscreen legends. Since most standard boards use a white or yellow silkscreen, you could choose an alternative color to make development boards instantly recognizable.
