When ordering urban benches in different colors, the pricing structure typically follows a clear framework. Most manufacturers offer a base price for standard bench models, with color customization available as an additional option. Standard colors like classic black, forest green, or neutral gray often come at no extra charge, while custom powder-coated finishes or special color matches may incur additional costs ranging from 5-15% per unit.
The pricing model usually considers several factors: the bench material (powder-coated steel, thermoplastic, or hardwood), the complexity of the color application process, and order quantity. Many suppliers provide tiered pricing - smaller orders might pay a premium for custom colors, while larger volume orders typically receive better rates for color variations.
For projects requiring multiple color options, manufacturers often recommend consolidating orders to maximize cost efficiency. Some companies offer color packages where you can mix and match up to 3-4 colors within the same order without significant price increases. Always request a detailed quote that breaks down base bench costs versus color customization charges, and inquire about potential volume discounts when ordering benches in multiple colors for municipal projects, parks, or commercial developments.
Lead times may vary when selecting non-standard colors, as special orders might require additional production time for color matching and coating processes. Many reputable suppliers provide physical color swatches or digital renderings to help visualize your selected colors before finalizing the order.
