Help / Sliding-scale prices

Year-round sliding-scale prices

Picto Online supports you, all year round, by applying a systematic discount on the services included in your order as soon as their quantity exceeds 1.
This price reduction can be combined with other price advantages: promotions, loyalty points, etc.
The degressive price is therefore a reduction in the unit price according to quantity.
The greater the number of prints, the greater the discounts.
Please note: On Picto Online, quantities indicate the number of originals as well as the number of copies.

How does it work?

Discounted prices are automatically applied to your basket from the second item onwards when you prepare your order, whatever the service(s) except for boutique items.
The sliding-scale price is set according to quantity in increments.
For example, the levels for photographic prints are 2 to 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 49, 50 to 99, 100 to 199 and then above 200 prints.
For laminating and hanging systems, the maximum quantity is limited to 100.
To give you an idea, our page dedicated to Our prices shows discounts by quantity and tier by service: C-print on Lambda prices

What services are concerned

Items eligible for price reductions include all classic photo papers, pigment inkjet papers and rigid and flexible direct-printing substrates.
Laminating, whatever the substrate (Aluminum, Dibond, PVC, Featherboard), is also covered by the sliding-scale prices, as are its hanging systems.
By way of example, if you need to make a classic silver-digital print (Argentique on Lambda) in 30 x 40 cm format on RC Satiné paper, you will be charged €6.66 before tax (Price 2025).
If you need to make a set of 25 images, the unit price will drop to €4.88 excl. tax. That's a total of €122 ex-VAT instead of €166.5 ex-VAT, giving you a discount of over 26%.

How can I see the application of the sliding-scale discount on my prices?

At the final payment stage, a message “The prices displayed include the degressive discount” with the degressive price pictogram confirms that you benefit from the degressive discount.

You can compare the price of your basket with the unit price visible on our price simulator : Picto Online - Simulator
Please note To avoid overly complex price display, sliding-scale prices are displayed normally on our interface. Degressive prices are not displayed in red with the original price crossed out, as in the case of a promotion, for example.
Tiered price calculation explains why you sometimes have price differences (unit price) on your invoices, since beyond the second print run on the same service, a reduction is applied.
