Pricing and Sizing
Overview of the three pricing models in Sign Customiser: the Simple Letter Model, the Advanced Letter Model, and the Frame Fit Model.
Last updated:
Sign Customiser has three pricing models. Which one you pick depends on how your signs are manufactured and how you want to charge for them.
Simple Letter Model
The Simple Letter Model works with predefined size tiers. You set a fixed width or fixed height for each tier, then assign pricing based on size, character count, and number of lines. It’s the most straightforward option — ideal if you sell signs in standard sizes like 40cm, 60cm, and 80cm.

Advanced Letter Model
The Advanced Letter Model measures the actual font path data of each character to calculate precise material usage. Pricing is based on the real length of material needed — not a rough character count. This gives you accurate, per-centimetre pricing that scales with the exact text the customer types.
This model supports dynamic sizing (customers can choose or enter their own size), flexible font-specific minimum heights, and shipping cost calculations based on sign dimensions. It also works with the AI Sign Designer for SVG-based designs.

Frame Fit Model
The Frame Fit Model prices signs by their frame dimensions rather than the text inside them. Price is calculated from the frame area (width × height × rate per cm²) or volume (width × height × depth × rate per cm³). The text content doesn’t affect the price at all.
This is the right model for lightbox signs, panel displays, board signs, and any signage where the manufacturing cost tracks with the frame size, not the letter count.
