Back to school
Seasonal school lines planned backwards from the date the shelf has to be full.
What the range is made of
- Backpacks and trolley bags
- Notebooks, folders and binders
- Pencil cases, writing and art sets
- Lunch boxes and bottles
Closed early enough to hold the date
Every week that the artwork stays open is a week taken off the production calendar.
- What the quotation has to state
- Licence-free artwork, size by school age, print run per design and the delivery week at destination.
- The packaging that goes with it
- Printed hang tag, polybag with the warning text required at destination and a display-ready shipper.
- What the inspection measures
- Zip and strap cycle test, print rub resistance and count per display carton.
One selling window a year, and no second one
Late is the same as unsold
The date. This family has one selling window a year, and a run that arrives late is a run that stays in the warehouse. The physical failure is the zip and the strap, which give way after a term rather than during the inspection.
Few designs, more depth
Volume moves by print run. Each design is a separate setup, so a line of few designs in depth costs less per unit than many designs in shallow quantity, and it is also easier to reorder if one of them sells out.
The chain opens the box on the floor
Artwork has to be free of third party licences, the pack has to carry the warning text the destination requires, and the shipper has to be display ready, because the chain will put the box on the floor and open it there.
