Best Custom Standees for Convention Merch
Your convention booth is your stage, and your merch is the star. In the crowded, vibrant marketplace of any anime or comic convention, custom standees have the power to stop traffic, showcase your art in 3D, and become a high-margin bestseller. But not all standees are created equal for this high-stakes environment. The right manufacturer must deliver on quality, reliability, profit margins, and logistics—all under tight deadlines.
For countless successful vendors, that manufacturer is Vograce. Here’s how they power winning convention merch lines.

The Vograce Advantage: Engineered for Convention Success
Phase 1: The Risk-Free Foundation (Pre-Production)
Before you commit to hundreds of units, smart testing is key. Vograce’s policies are built for this.
-
Sample with Confidence: Use their standout New Creator Offer—a $5 coupon and a free 12-piece sample pack—to physically evaluate the quality of their acrylic and wooden standees. Feel the weight, check the print clarity, and test the stability. No cost, no risk.
-
Prototype Your Ideas: With a true 1-piece MOQ for acrylic standees, you can produce a single final prototype of each new design. This allows for last-minute tweaks and stunning booth displays before the bulk order is even placed.
Phase 2: Scaling Up with Smart Economics (Bulk Ordering)
When your designs are finalized, Vograce ensures your profit margins are protected.
-
Stack Your Discounts: This is where Vograce outshines generic suppliers. Combine automatic volume pricing with the VIP Membership Pro Program (extra discount on 300+ piece standee orders) and your permanent member discount (8-10% off). The savings compound directly into your bottom line.
-
Guaranteed Consistency: Their ISO-certified factory ensures that every unit in your 500-piece order matches the flawless quality of your approved sample. No worries about color shifts or defects that could damage your brand reputation at the booth.
Phase 3: Logistics & Peace of Mind (Pre-Convention)
Getting your stock on time and on budget is non-negotiable. Vograce removes the global shipping guesswork.
-
Deadline-Driven Production: Clearly communicated timelines and priority options help you plan backward from your convention date with a built-in safety buffer.
-
Tariff-Smart Shipping: A critical advantage for international sellers. Vograce’s duty-optimized shipping methods are designed to avoid unexpected customs charges, keeping your total landed costs predictable and your profit calculations accurate.
-
Dedicated Support: Your 1-on-1 consultant acts as a single point of contact, providing updates and solving logistical hurdles, so you can focus on marketing and booth design.
