Freight consolidation changes the answer to shelf merchandising at container scale, which is why small and large buyers reach different conclusions.

Frequently asked questions
How much shelf space should Nex Max get?
Enough for a full flavour block; partial ranges confuse customers and slow rotation.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
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.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
Final word
None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
