\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

One box, a lot of flavors, a single total on the order. That is the picture a buyer carries into a mixed carton. Most of them go wrong here.<\/p>\n

The factory sees something different. It reads a set of lines, each with its own quantity. It checks them one at a time.<\/p>\n

Failures follow a pattern. One flavor the buyer wanted ends up under the per-line minimum. The split between flavors misses what the market actually sold last quarter. A destination that runs in smaller drops pushes the smallest workable carton up past what was planned.<\/p>\n

None of those three is a pricing problem. They are build problems. Get the build right and the carton ships clean. The cost lands close to a single-flavor carton.<\/p>\n

Get it wrong. A month later the buyer is clearing a shelf of one flavor nobody ordered twice.<\/p>\n

Three things decide whether a mixed carton holds. The per-flavor minimum keeps no line too thin to pack. Set the ratio from what the market moved. The weight stays where the market is. The smallest carton the destination allows keeps the order in a size the route can take.<\/p>\n

What the Factory Reads When a Mixed Order Lands<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The buyer writes flavors, the factory reads cart lines<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The buyer sends an order that says “five flavors.” The floor reads five cart lines. Those are not the same object.<\/p>\n

A flavor is a taste. A cart line is the quantity behind that flavor. It must clear the per-SKU minimum first. Only then does the floor pick, pack, and count it into the carton.<\/p>\n

That difference changes the order from the first line. A single-flavor order has one number to get right. Five flavors means five numbers to get right. If one of those lines drops under its minimum, the whole carton breaks. The total can look fine on the sheet even when the carton does not ship.<\/p>\n

A 10,000-unit mixed order fails on a single line. That line sits 40 units below the minimum. The other nine lines are fine. The floor cannot pack that one line. It holds the carton until the buyer adds 40 units.<\/p>\n

The thin-mix trap<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The first instinct when building a mixed carton is to add more flavors. More flavor reads as better value on the order sheet. Each new flavor divides the total across more lines, though. Per-line quantity drops with every addition.<\/p>\n

Take 5,000 units. Four flavors gives each line 1,250. Ten flavors gives each line 500. Both are the same total. Only one keeps every line above the minimum.<\/p>\n

A thin mix pushes the small lines into a band. There they stop being packable on their own.<\/p>\n

A thin mix comes back six weeks later in a familiar way. The carton looked fuller on the first sheet. In the market, seven of the ten flavors barely moved. Three sold well and ran out. What was left sat in a storage unit.<\/p>\n

A wide mix is not automatically a better mix. Sometimes the narrower one is the one that ships clean.<\/p>\n

The Minimum That Keeps a Line in the Carton<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The per-flavor floor and how it is set<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Every line has a floor, and below that floor the flavor is nothing but a rounding error. Rounding errors do not go into a carton.<\/p>\n

\"row<\/a><\/p>\n

The floor is set by the line itself. It has nothing to do with how much a buyer likes the flavor. A flavor that cannot reach the floor on its own quantity does not belong in the mix. How well it tastes on a table does not change that.<\/p>\n

El product pages<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0list each model with its base quantity. A buyer who checks that list before building a mix knows which flavors carry a line. They also know which ones are too thin to join the carton. The base minimum at Wafoo<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is 500 units per SKU.<\/p>\n

A mixed carton is only as strong as its weakest line. Keeping that weakest line above the floor is what holds the carton together.<\/p>\n

The quantity step and why the total drifts<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The line packs in whole increments. A quantity the buyer writes at 530 has to move to the next step. Only then can it be counted. One line, one small nudge. Nobody notices a single one.<\/p>\n

Ten flavors, ten small nudges. By the second sheet the carton total is a different number from the first. That drift is the quiet way a mixed order breaks. Ten small failures, each invisible on its own, add up to a carton nobody planned for. Build each line at a step number from the start. The total holds.<\/p>\n

Setting the Flavor-to-SKU Ratio From Sell-Through<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The ratio is a forecast, not a style choice<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The split between flavors is a forecast. The flavor that moved a fifth of the last carton gets a fifth of the next one. The flavor that moved ten percent gets ten percent.<\/p>\n

\"flavor<\/a><\/p>\n

Setting that split from last quarter’s sell-through is a decision. Dividing the carton evenly across every flavor is a guess.<\/p>\n

An even split reads as fair on a sheet. Every line is the same size. The market, though, is not even. The flavor that sold last quarter will sell this one. One that did not will not. An even split dead-stocks the slow flavors and under-stocks the fast ones. Anchor the split to expected sell-through. The weight lands where the market actually is.<\/p>\n

The slow flavor is a carton risk<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

A flavor still testing in the market can be a line. It has to clear the floor on its own. It earns its place with a real quantity.<\/p>\n

A flavor that has already proven it barely moves is a different situation. It should not ride along in the mix just to make the carton look wide.<\/p>\n

That slow flavor is a carton-level risk. It takes a line. It takes a step of quantity. It takes space a faster flavor could use. It drags the whole box toward the flavor nobody is buying.<\/p>\n

A flavor that has not earned its line yet waits for the next carton. The buyer who cuts it now saves the buyer who is clearing the shelf later.<\/p>\n

What the Factory Needs to Quote a Mixed Carton<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Close the flavor set before anything else<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

A mixed carton cannot be quoted until the flavor set is closed. “Add a few more later” is not a brief. The buyer names every flavor in the box. Each one carries its quantity. Two lists, side by side, are the order.<\/p>\n

Send the flavor set, the per-flavor quantities, and the destination to the P\u00e1gina de contacto de Wafoo<\/u><\/strong><\/a>. That is the complete brief. With the set, the quantities, and the destination in hand, the factory builds the carton. It comes back with a number.<\/p>\n

A half-set cannot be quoted. The factory needs the closed set to build against.<\/p>\n

Let the route set the smallest workable carton<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The destination moves the smallest carton the buyer can ship. A market that takes a full container has room for a wide mix with headroom. One that moves in smaller drops has to run a narrower one. Each line still has to clear its own floor. The smaller the carton, the fewer lines it can hold.<\/p>\n

The route sets the floor. The flavor set and the quantities set the shape. Where those two meet is the smallest mixed carton that works. Build on top of that floor and the order ships clean. Every line is strong enough that the buyer will reorder it.<\/p>\n

Conclusi\u00f3n<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

A mixed carton is a set of lines in one box. Every line has to clear its own floor before the carton holds. Three things decide whether it does. The per-flavor minimum keeps no line too thin to pack. Set the ratio from what the market moved. The weight stays where the market is. The smallest carton the destination allows keeps the order in a size the route can take.<\/p>\n

Build a mixed order on those three and it ships clean. Build one on a wish list of flavors. It comes back as a shelf of one flavor nobody ordered twice. A carton that works is the one where every line was strong enough to ship alone.<\/p>\n

Preguntas frecuentes<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Q1: How many flavors can I put in one mixed carton?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A1: As many as can each clear the floor on their own line. The limit is the per-flavor minimum, not a flavor count. Add a flavor below the floor and that line breaks the carton. A narrower mix with stronger lines is more reliable than a wide one full of thin lines.<\/p>\n

Q2: Do all the flavors have to be the same model?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A2: No. The model does affect the math, though. The same model across flavors keeps the recurring floor even. The carton stays easy to price. It stays easy to reorder. Different models in one carton carry different floors. The carton gets harder to quote. Keep the model stable when the mix is the variable.<\/p>\n

Q3: What do I send before a mixed carton is quoted?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A3: The closed flavor set. The quantity on each flavor. The destination. With those three, the factory builds the carton against the per-SKU floor and the quantity step. It sets the smallest workable carton from the route. A half-set cannot be quoted, because a half-set is not a set.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
