FAQs on Pricing, Quotes & Trade Information - Crowd Barrier Covers

Our standard "price from" lines (ex VAT):

These are starting prices, final cost depends on material choice, size, volume, finish (eyelets, reflective inks), and whether you require double-sided printing.

• Substrate chosen: Air-mesh, knitted fabric, vinyl or EnviroMesh (each carries different material cost).
• Print: Single vs double-sided, colour coverage and special inks (reflective, anti-graffiti).
• Size & quantity: Larger runs reduce unit cost — we apply tiered discounts for longer orders.
• Finish & fixings: Reinforced hems, grommet frequency, and supplied fixing kits affect price.
• Urgency & delivery: Express production or expedited courier costs are added if requested.

Tip: provide your barrier type (2.3m or 2.5m), the number of units, preferred material and whether you need double-sided printing — that’s all we need for an accurate quote.

Yes — we offer tiered discounts for larger orders and bespoke trade terms for resellers and agencies. For many barrier cover projects, discounts typically start to appear from modest run lengths (e.g. 10–25 units) and improve significantly at higher bands — contact our sales team for bespoke bulk pricing and the best rates.

Trade services:

• Dedicated account manager for frequent buyers
• White-label / plain packaging for resellers
• Net 30 credit terms subject to approval
• Priority production slots for accredited trade customers

Competitor context: trade suppliers on competitor sites publish clear bulk breaks and trade discounts — we match and can often beat bulk pricing when you provide a full brief. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Yes — we provide rapid quotes. For a same-page estimate, tell us:

1. Barrier length/height (e.g. 2.3m or 2.5m)
2. Quantity required
3. Material and print (single or double-sided)
4. Any special finishes (reflective ink, anti-graffiti, extra grommets)

We’ll return a price per unit with delivery options. For very large or complex jobs we follow up with a personalised written quotation and production schedule.

Competitor note: some suppliers display instant calculators and tabled quantity pricing directly on the product page — this improves conversion and shortens lead times. We can add a similar calculator on request. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

We include standard artwork setup and basic proofing for no extra charge when you provide print-ready files. If you need us to design or adapt artwork we offer a paid design service or a free basic edit depending on the scale of the order.

• Free basic artwork checks and automated proofing for print-ready files
• Optional paid design/adaptation for complex creative or multiple file adjustments
• Electronic artwork proofing is supplied; a printed proof can be requested for an additional fee

Competitors commonly promote free artwork or a basic free design service — we match this to keep ordering friction low for customers. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Standard lead time: 5–7 working days from artwork approval for most barrier cover orders.

Express options: Available for urgent jobs — speak to sales for feasibility and costs.

Delivery: UK mainland tracked courier — we offer free delivery on qualifying orders (thresholds may vary by promotion or season). For large pallets, bespoke white-label door-to-door or international shipping we provide a tailored quote.

Competitor examples: Banner World and Monster Mesh publicise 5–7 day lead times and free delivery thresholds for qualifying orders — transparency here reduces cart abandonment. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
