Pricing & Configuration
PromoStandards
Pricing Calculator
Calculate decorated product pricing with quantity breaks, setup charges, and run charges. Get accurate quotes across any supplier in seconds.
Why Pricing Is Hard
PromoStandards Pricing & Configuration (PPC) is one of the most complex services in the standard. Products have multiple parts, each with its own pricing tiers. Decorations add setup charges, run charges, and quantity-dependent fees. Combining these into an accurate decorated price requires understanding the additive pricing model and navigating each supplier's unique configuration.
Our Pricing Calculator handles all of this complexity for you. Select a product, choose parts and decorations, enter your quantities, and get an accurate price breakdown instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the additive pricing model?
The additive pricing model is the PromoStandards approach to calculating decorated product prices. The total price is the sum of the base product price (per unit, based on quantity tier) plus setup charges (one-time fees for each decoration) plus run charges (per-unit decoration costs). Our calculator handles all of these components automatically.
Can I calculate pricing for multiple decorations?
Yes. The calculator supports multiple decoration locations and methods on a single product. Each decoration adds its own setup and run charges, and the calculator totals everything so you can see the full decorated cost per unit and for the entire order.
Does it work with every supplier?
The Pricing Calculator works with any supplier that implements the PromoStandards Product Pricing and Configuration (PPC) service. If a supplier has PPC data available through PSRESTful, you can use the calculator with their products.
