The decision

Select one treatment level for each product category. Bronze uses the smallest applied branding, Silver makes the applied branding more visible, and Gold moves to supplier-applied direct printing.

Vinyl12-inch record protection

TPC stock wrap for Bronze and Silver; Defenda custom-printed LP mailer for Gold.

CDPadded square or portrait mailer

Kite stock bubble envelope for Bronze and Silver; Sticker Mule full-print bubble mailer for Gold.

Soft merchandiseGarment-sized mailing bag

Davpack 305 × 405mm stock bag for Bronze and Silver; 300 × 420mm custom-print bag for Gold.

How to read every price: the large figure is the cash required for the supplier order shown. The line beneath states exactly what arrives. The per-item figure divides that purchase by the presentation batch; it does not hide unused stickers or tape stock. VAT, delivery, artwork or plate charges are explicitly flagged wherever a supplier has not published them.

Vinyl

All three products are purpose-built for 12-inch records. The order commitment grows from a stock pallet to 10,800 directly printed mailers.

Soft merch

Fit boundary: these two Davpack sizes are appropriate candidates for folded T-shirts and similar soft goods. The suppliers do not publish a garment-capacity guarantee, so the page does not claim that either bag fits bulky hoodies or multi-item orders.

What Yussef is choosing

The decision is the packaging direction and the associated order commitment. The page does not conceal any published limitation or convert an unknown fee into an estimate.

BronzeSmall applied brand element

Lowest visual intervention. The supplier product remains dominant and CT is added during fulfilment.

SilverLarger applied brand element

The same stock product receives a larger, more visible CT sticker purchased separately.

GoldSupplier-applied direct print

The branding is manufactured into the packaging, creating the strongest experience and the largest commitment.
