Why carton and pallet configuration matters on the Meta 5
Inner tray counts should be chosen so a single carton matches a realistic week of counter sales.
Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind carton and pallet configuration: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.

Checklist

- Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
- Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
- Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
- Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.

Frequently asked questions
How should a Meta 5 carton be configured?
Match inner tray quantity to roughly a week of counter sales, then set master carton and pallet counts around it.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
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.
Final word
None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
