Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.

Volume tier	Indicative unit level	Lead time
Carton (92 units)	Tier 1	30-45 days
Pallet (1169 units)	Tier 2	7-12 days
Container (12931 units)	Tier 3	21-30 days

All figures above are indicative working ranges used for planning. Final specification and commercial terms are confirmed in writing before any deposit.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can a repeat order be produced?

For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.

Can packaging be adjusted for our market?

Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.

What happens if a batch fails inspection?

The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.
