📝 What Information Do You Need to Get a Quote for a Cardboard Display?
🟢 Introduction
Getting an accurate quote for a custom cardboard display doesn’t have to be complicated. However, because cardboard displays are fully customized, pricing depends on several key factors.
By providing clear and complete information upfront, you can save time, avoid back-and-forth communication, and receive a fast, precise quotation.
1. Product Details (Most Important)
Your product determines everything—from structure to material strength.
👉 Provide:
- Product size (L × W × H)
- Product weight
- Packaging type (box, bottle, bag, etc.)
💡 Tip: Heavier products require stronger corrugated board and reinforced structure.
2. Display Style
Let your supplier know what type of display you need:
- Floor display
- Countertop display
- Pallet display
- Hook display
👉 Not sure? Just send a reference photo—most suppliers can design based on it.
3. Display Size & Structure
If you have a target size, share it. If not, suppliers can recommend.
👉 Key details:
- Overall dimensions
- Number of shelves
- Shelf depth & spacing
💡 This ensures your products fit perfectly without wasted space.
4. Quantity (Affects Price the Most)
Quantity directly impacts unit price:
- Higher quantity → lower cost per unit
- Small orders → higher unit cost
💡 Even an estimate helps suppliers give a realistic quote.
5. Printing & Branding Requirements
Your design affects both cost and visual impact.
👉 Provide:
- Logo & artwork
- Full-color (CMYK) or simple design
- Special finishes (UV, embossing, foil)
💡 High-end finishes increase cost but boost shelf appeal.
6. Material Requirements
Different materials = different strength & cost.
👉 Options include:
- Standard corrugated board
- Double-wall / reinforced board
- Eco-friendly or FSC materials
💡 Not sure? Suppliers will recommend based on your product.
7. Usage Environment
Where your display will be used matters.
👉 Examples:
- Supermarkets
- Retail stores
- Trade shows
💡 High-traffic areas require stronger structures.
8. Shipping & Packaging
Logistics also affect pricing.
👉 Provide:
- Shipping country
- Flat-packed or assembled
- Special packaging needs
💡 Flat-pack = lower shipping cost.
9. Reference Images (Highly Recommended)
A picture is worth a thousand words.
👉 You can share:
- Market photos
- Competitor displays
- Simple sketches
💡 This speeds up design and avoids misunderstandings.
