For buyers
For Importers and Distributors
An importer buys a range, not a model, and carries the carton plan across five product lines that behave differently: children's easels are bulky and carton-count sensitive, studio easels are heavy and low-volume, canvas bars are long and flat, and peripherals are small and high-count. The job on this side is to hold one supplier file that states the size, the fold, the carton and the minimum for every line, so a mixed container can be built without six separate specification threads.
What this buyer needs from the range
- One specification record per model, with the missing fields marked rather than filled with an estimate.
- Mixed containers across the five lines, with the MOQ quoted per model rather than as an order value.
- Carton dimensions, gross weight and units per carton for the volume lines, so the loading plan is arithmetic rather than hope.
- A clear statement of what is not claimed: no certification badges, no owned factory, report status named per model and market.
- Spare parts and accessories recorded against the models already imported, for the aftermarket.
How we supply it
- A catalogue of 100 models across 22 subcategories at launch, each on its own page with its own record.
- The model list and the packing data released before the quotation, not after the deposit.
- Samples quoted per model, with one sample per structure recommended rather than one per shortlist.
- A loading plan built from the carton list of the batch, not from a catalogue estimate.
- Spares and peripherals as separate models with their own minimums, so a repeat order does not have to be an easel order.
FAQ
Can one container mix the five lines?
Yes, and that is the normal way a distributor order is built. The constraint is the minimum per model, not a container minimum, so a mixed order can take a small quantity of studio easels, a larger quantity of children's easels and a carton run of bars and peripherals. The loading plan is then built from the carton list: the bulky children's cartons fill by volume, the heavy studio easels add weight, and the long bar cartons are loaded last. The carton data on each model page is the input to that plan.
How is the MOQ set across the range?
Per model and per finish. A stocked finish usually quotes at a lower minimum than a new colour or a printed carton, because a finish change is a line set-up. The product pages state the MOQ where the supplier records it and say quoted per model where they do not. A distributor planning a range should send the models and quantities in one list; we return the confirmed minimums together so the container can be shaped around them.
What documentation comes with a container?
The commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and origin paperwork, plus the product data for each model on the order: size or height range, material, carton data and the age band where it applies. Report status is named per model where a report exists. The import declaration and the destination market conformity documents remain the importer's responsibility, and nothing on this site should be read as a claim that a model is certified or approved for a market.
