How we compare our prices
On some product pages, a “Price checked” badge shows that our price for the blank product, excluding VAT, was the lowest among the resellers compared for the same manufacturer reference on the date shown. It only concerns the product on that page, not the whole catalogue.
- Other resellers compared, at least
- 2
- Maximum age of a price check
- 72 h
- How often prices are checked
- daily
What we compare
| The blank product | Unit price excluding VAT of the item without any print or customisation. |
|---|---|
| The same manufacturer reference | The same item from the same manufacturer, identified by the manufacturer reference shown on the product page (“Manufacturer ref.”). A merely similar item is never compared. |
| Public prices | Prices displayed on other online resellers’ websites, available to everyone without an account, as they appear when they are checked. |
| At a comparable quantity | A price valid from N pieces is compared with our price for N pieces. A “from” price without a stated quantity is compared with our price at the largest quantity tier shown. A quantity below our minimum order is not compared. |
When the badge is shown
The badge only appears when all these conditions are met:
- at least 2 other resellers have been checked for this reference;
- each check is less than 72 hours old;
- our price is lower than or equal to every offer compared: if a single comparable offer is cheaper, the badge is not shown.
The date shown is that of the oldest of the prices compared. Prices, ours as well as other resellers’, may change at any time: the badge describes the situation on that date and disappears by itself when the conditions are no longer met.
What we do not compare
- printing (technique, number of colours, set-up costs);
- shipping costs and lead times;
- temporary promotions, discount codes, flash sales;
- prices reserved for logged-in customers, quoted or negotiated prices;
- related services (proof, sample, advice), which may differ from one reseller to another.
The total price of a customised order also depends on these items: compare it on your own configuration.
Price checks and evidence
Prices are checked automatically every day on resellers’ public product pages, following their rules for robots (robots.txt) and without ever overloading them. For every badge shown, we keep the page checked, the price, the quantity and the date of the check, together with our own prices: this information can be verified. For discretion, the resellers compared are not named on the site.
Seen a lower price?
Seen a lower price for the same reference? Let us know: we check it and align our price if we can.
Give us the product reference and the address of the page where you saw this price. We compare the same item, at the same quantity and without printing; aligning our price remains subject to our pricing conditions.
