Why do people choose to source acrylic display stands directly from factories rather than through trading companies?

Many clients prefer to work directly with custom display rack manufacturers rather than trading companies when processing acrylic display stands. However, if you ask them why they dislike trading companies, they often cite high prices without being able to explain the specifics. Below, an acrylic processing factory will briefly clarify the situation.

One reason is that when ordering custom acrylic displays through a trading company, they ultimately subcontract the production to a display manufacturer. Their quoted price includes a markup on top of the acrylic processing factory's cost to cover their profit margin. If dealing with an uninformed client, trading companies might even double the price, as their business relies on earning this markup—the higher the markup, the greater their profit.

Secondly, trading companies lack familiarity with the production process for acrylic display stands. They may be unfamiliar with certain product details, making it difficult for them to modify drawings if needed. Process optimization also requires direct communication. With a trading company acting as an intermediary, miscommunication can occur, potentially delaying delivery schedules and production timelines. Therefore, it is advisable to choose an acrylic processing factory directly.
