Procurement playbook
What moves the price
- Construction type, temporary corrugate vs semi-permanent vs permanent metal, wood, or acrylic
- Structural design and engineering, including any prototyping
- Quantity and run length
- Pack-out, assembly, and freight, since displays ship bulky
Check before signing
- Prototype or tooling charged per order rather than once
- A heavier or permanent material quoted where temporary was specified
- Freight under-estimated for a bulky low-weight item on dimensional weight
- Assembly billed separately when shelf-ready was implied
Negotiation levers
- Match the construction type to the campaign length rather than over-building
- Reuse an existing structural design across campaigns
- Design to ship flat to cut freight
About backlit menu boards - a3 pricing
Priced per unit; vendors typically quote against a primary quantity around 1 unit.
Why is one display quote five times another?
Almost always construction type. Temporary corrugate is a fraction of a permanent metal or wood fixture. Confirm both vendors are quoting the same build before comparing.
Why is freight so high on a lightweight display?
Displays are bulky, so carriers bill on dimensional weight, not actual weight. Designing the unit to ship flat or nested lowers it.
