First SKU to Reorder: Cavity Count, Ads, Spares, and Archive ID

1 vs 6 vs 12 on the first production sheet

A one-cavity tool is a sample. Six is a common first production ask. Twelve without a gram target is how FBA tickets start. We will ask weekly pieces before we celebrate cavity count.

Do not scale ads on a one-cavity approval

If paid traffic is already on, say so. Spare math changes. We will not pretend a 3-7 day prototype after a new CAD lock will save an ad set you launched last week.

Pack count and claimed unit count

12-pack with an 8-cavity tray leaves mix in a tub. Claim 24 / yield 10 is a listing lie. Match tray to pack or change the claim.

One sheet is a single point of failure

Tear on Thursday, listing dead until reorder and ship. Spare 10-20% cavity-worth of trays is a common ask when ads are on. New lots are still MOQ 20.

Colorway vs new design

Pigment is not a new master. Logo depth change is. New undercut is. New peak C may be the same cavity with new notes. We would rather quote a second design than silently reuse a master that will fail SKU-2.

Put the archive ID on the next PO

If geometry did not change, reorder skips redesign. It does not skip queue and ship. This is the commercial archive service, not a twin of the lead-time blog.

Calendar: lock, then 3-7 days, then ship buffer

Wedding dates and drop dates do not start the clock. CAD lock does. If the event is inside lock + prototype + ship, we will say no.
