Retail & distribution
You have shelves, a margin to hit and a range to build.
Retailers and distributors need product that arrives ready to sell, so packaging is part of the specification rather than an afterthought. Goods can be produced under your own brand with your packaging artwork, barcodes and labelling applied before dispatch. A single design across several formats gives a range without multiplying the design work.
What you usually need
- Goods under your own brand, private label
- Retail packaging with barcodes and market labelling
- A range built from a manageable number of designs
- Repeat runs that match the first
OEM or ODM, almost always with private label packaging.
Formats that tend to matter
One design runs across all of them — these are the ones this kind of buyer usually starts with.
Fridge magnet
A small tile with a magnetic sheet across the back, supplied in a display box, in retail packaging or in a small frame. The entry point of a merchandise range, and the format that shows the relief still reads at the smallest size.
Disc on a stand
A round panel with a small wooden display stand. Sits on a desk, a shelf or a counter without any wall fixing.
Tassel pendant
A small round panel drilled top and bottom, finished with a knotted cord, beads and a tassel. Produced in matched colourways across a set.
Framed piece
The artwork in a wood or aluminium alloy frame, at any size the design supports. Hangs, stands on a fold-out stand or pin, or both on the same piece.
