Price Calculation and Rates
How Pricing Works
Our calculator uses a simple formula:
total price = width (ft) × height (ft) × quantity × rate per sq ft
The rate depends on your delivery speed and the total printed area. As your total area increases, your rate per sq ft decreases. Therefore, your promotional exhibition banners become more cost-effective as you scale campaigns across multiple locations.
