## The Price is the Price is the Price, unless it's *A-La-Carte*.

![a_la_carte_blog-_pricing_options](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/hubfs/blogging_images/a_la_carte_blog-_pricing_options-691364-edited.jpg "a_la_carte_blog-_pricing_options")

Traditionally, people price their product assuming that everyone needs *everything*. Rarely do we find that all of our customers need the same things. The actual price of a product is dependent on many aspects of the purchase. 

 

We have been very successful in working with our customers to [understand their needs](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/cost-constraints), and what can work for them. The questions we will ask you might include:

- Can you work with longer lead times?
- Can you increase your purchase quantity?
- Can you accept shipments packed in bulk, rather than individual boxes?
- Can you modify your specifications if beneficial?
- Can you alter your payment terms?
- Can you work with us to modify the supply chain? 
- Will you work to implement [new technologies](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/why-we-love-new-packaging-equipment)?

Does your supplier give *you* pricing options?

### About David Roberge

I help CPG brands find the right contract packaging partner through content that answers real questions. I get to do that alongside a team whose values actually match mine: respect, teamwork, and always getting better. I also appreciate the psychology behind decision-making. Outside of work you'll find me hiking with my partner and dog, learning German and Spanish, pulling tarot cards.
