How to Request Partner Pricing for Custom 3D Figurines Without Guesswork

"What does it cost per unit?" is a fair question, and the honest answer is that partner pricing is structured around your order pattern rather than posted on a page. Here is how to get a number you can build a business on, quickly.

Why pricing is not on the website

Partner pricing depends on factors that differ by business: expected volume, product mix (figurines vs cake toppers), size range, and whether orders arrive one at a time or in batches. A single posted price would mislead most partners in one direction or the other.

So the process is a short conversation instead of a price list.

What to have ready before you ask

• Your expected order pattern. "Two to three orders per month" is more useful than "some". Even an estimate lets us outline the right structure.
• Product mix and sizes. 8–10 cm cake toppers and 15 cm display figurines are different cost structures.
• Your market. Destination affects shipping, which affects the total picture.
• How you plan to sell. Retail listing, studio upsell or planner package — each implies different volume and size assumptions.

The three-step pricing conversation

1. Submit the partner form

Use the form on the B2B partner page. It takes a few minutes and starts the conversation with your context attached.

2. Receive the structure

You get the pricing framework for your order pattern, including how sizes and production methods map to cost.

3. Test with one order

Because there is no minimum, you can validate the economics with a single order before committing to a program. Most partners calculate their retail margin from that first piece.

How partners typically build margin

Two models cover most partner businesses:

• Retail markup. The partner sets a retail price above the partner cost. Common for gift shops and studios selling to consumers.
• Package inclusion. The topper or keepsake is bundled into a wedding or event package, where the personalized element supports the package price rather than being sold as a line item.

Both models work with the same partner cost structure — what changes is how the price is presented to the end customer.

Cost factors worth understanding

• Size. Larger pieces cost more to produce and carry more detail — 12 cm and above is the recommended range when facial likeness matters.
• Production method. Full-color 3D printing and monochrome printing with hand painting have different cost profiles. Your order states which method it uses.
• Complexity. Multi-figure family or group pieces involve more sculpting than a single pet figurine.
