Plant Print Supply

Plant Market Signage & Branding Checklist

Your market setup has three jobs: help people find your table, understand what you sell and remember your shop afterward. Start with the information visitors need, then choose the printed pieces that carry it. This checklist helps you prepare a clear brief for one event or a reusable setup.

Start with the event. Check the organizer’s current rules for your space, sign height, fixtures, tent weights and permitted attachments. Indoor and outdoor requirements differ. Confirm what the venue supplies before requesting hardware or choosing materials.

1. Make your table identifiable

Choose one main shop name or logo that visitors can recognize from the approach to your table. Add a short description only if your name does not explain the offer. Keep small care instructions, social handles and long product lists on separate pieces.

Sketch the table with plants, trays and display shelves in place. Note where a standing visitor will see the main sign, and whether foliage will hide it. Your business identity should lead the design; supporting information should be easy to find without competing with it.

2. Make prices and choices clear

List the exact information each sign needs: plant or product name, price, pot size or other meaningful option, and any quantity condition. If a price is for one item, a bundle or a particular size, say so. Leave uncertain plant identities or claims out until confirmed.

Separate changeable prices from evergreen branding where practical. Count the number of distinct designs as well as copies. Ten copies of one price card and ten different price cards are different artwork requests.

3. Give every QR code one useful job

Choose a destination visitors can understand: shop the current collection, read plant care, follow your shop or find upcoming sales. Label the action beside the code. Use the final public destination, not an editor, private preview or link that requires your own account.

Before approval, check the full destination on another device and test the code at the intended printed size. Review it again on the actual printed piece before the event. A code shown on a large screen is not proof that a small printed version will scan. Keep a readable shop name or short web address nearby as another way to find you.

4. Write a specification for each piece

For each sign, insert or apparel item, note quantity, finished dimensions and units, orientation, printed sides, material or intended use, and placement. If you do not know the best material, describe the environment and how the piece will be supported. Ask what is included; stands, frames and mounting hardware need explicit confirmation.

Apparel is optional. If you want it, count people and garments by size, record preferred colors, and identify each print placement. The garment style, available options and decoration method need confirmation before the plan is final.

5. Plan backward from the event

Share the event date, the date you need the pieces in hand, and the delivery country and postal code early. Allow time to confirm specifications, prepare artwork, review proofs, produce the items and receive them. Tell us whether separate deliveries would work for you.

A requested date is not a confirmed arrival promise. Coordinated pieces can have different production schedules and may ship separately. Confirm the quoted costs, delivery arrangements and timing before payment; do not assume a kit price or one-box shipment.

6. Approve the exact proof

Check every item and placement, not just the main logo. Review spelling, prices, quantities, dimensions, colors, crop, margins and QR destinations against the written plan. Keep the approved proof version and item list together. A changed price, size, file or placement needs another check; an earlier order is a reference, not approval of a new version.

7. Pack for setup and the next sale

On receipt, compare the pieces with the approved plan and inspect them before packing for the event. Keep surfaces protected, group related pieces, and include the confirmed supports or attachments. Test the assembled layout without blocking access to plants or checkout.

After the market, note what visitors asked, what was hard to read and which inserts ran low. Save the item specification and artwork reference for reorders. Confirm current quantities, prices, availability and delivery again rather than assuming the previous order’s terms still apply.

Plan your market presence

Bring your shop name, event details, item list and any existing artwork references. PPS Studio can help turn that brief into a coordinated plan for review. Requesting a quote does not place an order or reserve a production date.
