Commercial terms
Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (196 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (568 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (13649 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
How should a Meta S carton be configured?
Match inner tray quantity to roughly a week of counter sales, then set master carton and pallet counts around it.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
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.
Final word
A short quarterly review of these points will keep the Meta S range healthy without consuming the week.
