  3. What is a Panama and how is it different from a lama?
    A panama is a large display unit that can be used like a back-drop. See picture below. It is made of 2 lamas and a connecting panel. The interesting part is it can be folded into a small briefcase.

  4. What is the way to evaluate a lama program?
    A lama program needs to be compared to another POP or DM program which may be the option to achieve the same objectives. Lamas are paper standees that install themselves. So there is hardly any cost of installation and transport costs are virtually not there. Your sales people can take them in their cars. Let's say if the POP is wooden or plastic based - for a large unit you will spend thousands of dollars in storing and transporting them. Not just that you will spend money installing them and have to deal with breakages etc. Net any lama program is definitely cost effective compared to acrylic and wooden POP. And lastly or most importantly, try doing 1000 pieces of wooden or plastic POP - you will know.

  5. Can it be sent anywhere? What about packing, customs duties and taxes etc?
    Yes it can be sent anywhere. Some countries yes we have to pay GST or the necessary customs duties etc. Our transport and forwarding companies can assist you in these. Just drop a line and let us know what you need and we will take care of it. Lamas are packed individually in plastic envelopes and around 15 - 20 of them (depending on size etc) will be packed in a cardboard box. Packing is sturdy and can withstand long distance transport.

  6. Costs are based on FOB - HK? What does it mean?
    When we quote a price to you it is FOB - HK. It means that our costs include all costs up to delivering to the plane or ship that takes the goods to your warehouse. After that it is your cost. Some clients prefer us to do Door to Door delivery then we will give you a separate cost for transport and delivery etc.

  7. What materials you need to produce a lama? Do I need to see a proof?
    Normally clients give us an artwork on a CD. We make the lama using a CTP (computer to plate process). There are some additional charges for these as our costs are based on FOB HK. Once you have given a CD - there is no need to see a proof. Our printing is hi -speed offset and the quality is outstanding. Sometimes clients decide to do the 4 color film separation themselves. In this case we don't have any additional CTP charges. Click here for details.

  9. What is a kiosk?
    Kiosks are very interesting products - they are 3 lamas - 2 vertical and held together by 1 horizontal lama. It looks like this. It is very useful for showcasing end aisle displays or case stacker displays in supermarkets. It can also be used to decorate the shelf with some special promotion messages or new product introduction images.

  10. What is a lama table?
    Lama Tables are lamas that have a lama structure and a flat table top. It is a very useful product if you are organizing sampling displays and demonstrations. You can have products like cheese, wines, cakes, biscuits, pet food etc on the table. A table combined with a 3 lama kiosk is a great combination for demonstrations. Your promotional staff can carry it with them under their arm (yes it is very light) and set up the demo unit in seconds.

  11. What is a lama bin?
    Lama bins are a new product that helps you to decorate and make the end of aisle or dump bin promotions attractive. Usually retailers just dump your goods in a bin and that is not good for the image. In a lama bin you don't have that problem. You can run a DUMP bin promotion decorates it with the lamas and you ill get the needed sales boost without the loss of the image. See newsroom for more details.

  12. How does one make dump bin promotions attractive?
    Yes, we now have officially solved this problem. We have a special dump bin lama for purpose. How many times you find good products and good offers but are poorly merchandised. With a dump bin lama you don't have that issue. It is a 2 sided lama with a space for product placements in the front. The picture here shows 2 products one on either side - Clight and Tang. They are very easy to set up - the unit can be assembled in seconds, as in all lamas. The most intriguing feature for this is the lama bin can withstand nearly 20++ kg weight and therefore very useful for products like printers, computers etc. What are you waiting for? Call us now for samples and more information.
