Production routes for display projects
Primary customer-facing routes are U.S. speed and Planned-Volume Value Route. Use U.S. speed when timing and recovery speed matter. Use Planned-Volume Value Route when campaigns are planned, quantities are larger, and unit cost matters. Arvico helps coordinate the route from quote and proof to production and delivery.
Route Comparison
| Decision point | U.S. Speed Route | Planned-Volume Value Route | Split Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Deadline-sensitive work, late artwork, domestic recovery, and small-batch replacement graphics. | Planned campaigns, larger quantities, repeatable graphics, retail rollouts, and cost-sensitive programs. | Projects that need a fast pilot or proof path plus planned value routing for volume or future refreshes. |
| Typical order type | Rush event graphics, urgent replacements, small test runs, or schedule recovery orders. | Volume graphics, standard repeat orders, planned refresh sets, and program-level display needs. | U.S. pilot/sample/proof followed by planned-volume route bulk, reorder, or seasonal production where appropriate. |
| Strength | Faster recovery and closer coordination when timing is the main constraint. | Better unit-cost structure for planned, repeatable, and larger-volume work. | Balances speed for the urgent part with value routing for the planned part. |
| Tradeoff | May carry a higher production cost or capacity limits. | Requires earlier planning and route timing review; timelines vary by project and logistics. | Needs clear scope split, approved proof/version control, and route-specific expectations. |
| When to choose | Choose when the deadline, correction window, or domestic response path matters most. | Choose when the project is planned, quantities are larger, and budget efficiency matters most. | Choose when the launch needs speed now, but the program also needs a cost-effective repeat path. |
U.S. Speed Route
Use this route for rush events, late artwork, small-batch replacement graphics, tight deadlines, and domestic recovery needs where faster handling and closer schedule coordination may matter more than lowest unit cost.
Planned-Volume Value Route
Use this route for planned campaigns, larger quantities, repeat graphics, retail rollouts, and budget-sensitive programs where the production schedule can be reviewed before the campaign deadline becomes urgent.
Split Route
Some programs are best split: pilot, proof, or sample work can move through a U.S. path, while bulk production or planned replacement graphics move through a planned-volume route where appropriate and confirmed by quote review.
Production Origin Note
Production origin, processing steps, and available routes vary by product type, quantity, materials, timing, destination, and approved quote. If U.S. origin is important, request written confirmation for the specific product or project before ordering.
Additional production capacity may be reviewed when appropriate by product type, quantity, timing, destination, and approved quote.
