1. How a Plastic Box Wholesale Supplier Builds Its Stock Codes
Same-day despatch depends on how stock is coded, not warehouse size. Most Plastic Box Wholesale Supplier operations keep the top eight sizes as finished goods in three colours, giving 24 codes, and hold the rest as bare bodies with lids fitted on order. Stock turns in 28 days.
Depth runs backwards from the refill cycle: a seven-day size carries ten days of safety stock, a twenty-day size carries twenty-eight. A two-cavity tool needs four hours to swap, a single-cavity tool six.
| Box type | Size, mm | Colours | Safety stock | Refill |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carry tool box | 455×330×165 | Black, olive | 1,200 pcs | 7 days |
| Medium tote | 600×400×230 | Black, grey | 800 pcs | 10 days |
| Long equipment box | 1,120×420×300 | Black | 260 pcs | 20 days |
Use the table as a reconciliation sheet: reorder below the floor, hold production above the ceiling. Emergency orders before peak season are the real risk, since subcontracted moulding adds 8 to 12 percent.
2. Stock Colours and Colour Plates: Costing Three Shades
More standing colours is not better. A colour change purges the barrel and hot runner and ejects about 12 kg of scrap. Most Plastic Box Wholesale Supplier plants keep black, olive and orange in a fixed sequence, so transition scrap drops to liner parts and loss stays under 5 kg.
Check colour against physical plates: under 1.5 within a batch, under 2.5 between batches, or the colour clause applies. A custom shade adds three days of matching and a 500-piece minimum; stock colours ship broken, custom shades travel as full pallets.
3. Territory Protection and Exclusive Authorisation
Territory protection is the promise partners value most and define least. One distributor per prefecture-level city, tied to an annual volume of 80,000 to 180,000 pieces, is workable.
Review quarterly: two quarters below 75 percent of plan let the supplier appoint a second distributor within 60 days, while beating the year by 20 percent extends coverage. A first cross-territory sale loses half that quarter's rebate, a second ends exclusivity.
4. Mixed Wholesale Loads: Combination Rules and Truck Loading
Mixed loads cause more arguments than anything else, since mixing breaks built pallets. Fix the rules in writing: two sizes per pallet at 30 pieces each, three sizes per truck at three pallets.
A 9.6 m truck takes 22 pallets, heavy below and light above, mixed layers offset by 50 mm. Photograph the loaded truck; it settles more claims than a description.
| Combination | Sizes | Per size | Loading unit | Surcharge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Same-pallet mix | 2 | 30 pcs | 1.2×1.0 m pallet | 18 yuan |
| Truck-level mix | 3 | 3 pallets | 9.6 m truck | 260 yuan |
| Groupage mix | 1 | 5 pcs | 1.1×1.1 m collar box | 45 yuan |
5. Payment Terms, Rebates and After-Sales Breakage
Credit has a price. Cash carries a coefficient of 1.00, 30-day terms 1.015, 45-day terms 1.025 and 60-day terms 1.04 with a guarantee, so every 15 extra days adds 1.5 percent.
| Settlement | Deposit | Terms | Coefficient | Rebate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | 100% | 0 days | 1.00 | 2.0% |
| 30-day account | 30% | 30 days | 1.015 | 3.5% |
| 45-day account | 30% | 45 days | 1.025 | 4.5% |
| 60-day account | 40% plus guarantee | 60 days | 1.040 | 5.5% |
State whether returns reduce the rebate base and whether cross-territory sales deduct from it. After-sales wording matters more than the percentage: claims within 72 hours, replacement under 0.6 percent breakage, full inspection above 2 percent, spare units at 2 percent.
Conclusion
A Plastic Box Wholesale Supplier is worth keeping when stock codes are legible, mixed-load rules are written down and terms are priced openly. Put the 24 codes, three surcharge tiers and four coefficients on one page and the comparison becomes factual. Agree the clauses before arguing the price, and the Plastic Box Wholesale Supplier you keep will be the one that lasts.
