Before You Request a Quote
Every successful retail display, packaging, or logistics program starts with the right information.
Our goal is to provide accurate recommendations, realistic timelines, and solutions that fit your product, your retailer, and your budget. The more information you can share upfront, the faster and more accurately we can develop your project.
Whether you’re launching into retail for the first time or managing a national rollout, this guide will help you prepare for the quoting process.
What We’ll Need
To provide the most accurate recommendation, it’s helpful to have as much of the following information as possible.
Your Product
- Product dimensions
- Product weight
- Product photos
- Number of SKUs
- Packaging details, if already established
Your Retail Program
- Which retailer or retailers is this for?
- Is this a club store, grocery, home improvement, pharmacy, or specialty retailer?
- Do you have retailer specifications or display guidelines?
Estimated Quantities
Approximate production volume helps determine the most cost-effective manufacturing solution.
Examples include:
- Counter displays
- Floor displays
- Pallet displays
- Retail packaging
- Permanent displays
If you’re still determining quantities, that’s okay. We can help discuss available options.
Artwork & Assets
If available, please include:
- Logos
- Brand guidelines
- Existing artwork
- Product renders or photography
- Structural concepts or sketches
- Previous displays or packaging, if redesigning
Don’t worry if everything isn’t finalized. Early conversations often begin with concepts.
Typical Project Timeline
Every project is unique, but most programs generally follow this process.
Starting early allows time for revisions, retailer approvals, and production scheduling.
Retailer Requirements
Many retailers have unique requirements regarding:
- Display dimensions
- Weight limitations
- Safety testing
- Pallet configurations
- Store replenishment
- Packaging compliance
If you’re already working with a retailer, sharing those requirements early helps prevent delays later.
Minimum Order Considerations
Different display and packaging solutions become more economical at different production volumes.
Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, we’ll recommend solutions based on:
- Your quantity
- Materials
- Retail environment
- Budget
- Shipping requirements
Even if you’re still evaluating your program, we’d be happy to discuss your options.
What to Expect During the Project Engagement Process
Not every retail display or packaging project is the same.
Some programs require a straightforward quotation based on an existing design. Others involve extensive engineering, structural design, retailer compliance, logistics planning, and manufacturing expertise before an accurate proposal can be developed.
For projects that require a deeper level of development, we begin with a Project Engagement Process.
Rather than providing a rough estimate based on assumptions, this collaborative phase allows our team to invest the time needed to properly evaluate your project and develop a solution built for success.
During the engagement process, our team will:
This process ensures you’re making informed decisions before investing in production and helps eliminate costly surprises later in the project.
Is Every Project Part of the Engagement Process?
No. Many projects can be quoted immediately with the information provided. However, when a project requires significant engineering, design, or strategic planning, we’ll discuss whether beginning with our engagement process is the best path forward.
Our goal is simple: provide recommendations you can trust, not rough estimates that create problems later.
