What to read before you ask for a price

Short answers to the questions that decide a quote: how a print method changes the cost, what a quantity break really saves, and which document answers which question. Read them, or skip them and send the item — both work.

Decoration methods

What each method can put on a surface, how many colors it holds, what it asks of your artwork and what it does to the price — one page per method, in plain words.

How decoration works

What you can prepare before asking for a price

None of this is required to start a conversation. It is the list that turns a first reply into a usable quote, so it is worth having most of it ready.

  • The item, or something close to it: a product link, a photo of a sample, or a description of what it has to do.
  • A quantity, and whether it is fixed or a target. The quantity decides which price break applies and which freight channel is realistic.
  • The artwork, or a note that it is still being designed. Vector artwork (AI, EPS, PDF) survives every method; a screenshot may not.
  • Where the logo goes, roughly how large, and how many colors it uses — or leave it to us and ask for a recommendation.
  • The day the boxes have to arrive, not the day you want to order. Delivery dates are worked backwards from that day, sample and production included.
  • The delivery country or countries, and whether one address is enough.
