For wholesalers and distributors
Plan category breadth together with product-level minimums, repeatability and carton efficiency.
Start with the commercial job
A mixed assortment needs clear product identities, packaging data and repeat-order records. Compare how color and material splits affect minimums instead of treating all units as interchangeable.
A practical project checklist
Use these points to connect the range brief to the first specification and sample plan.
- Use consistent SKU and carton references.
- Review MOQ by style and color.
- Plan repeatable material choices.
- Confirm consolidation and trade terms.
Documents to keep for the next order
Retain the product specification, material references, approved sample revision, artwork, inspection points and final carton data. A repeat order should refer to that shared record instead of rebuilding the specification from email threads.
