One 25g Format Does Not Require Two Undifferentiated Grades

The buyer first defines the consumer, selling channel and intended price role. 4011 and 41022 are then assigned separate jobs. If both products would reach the same shopper at nearly the same price, one stronger core SKU is usually clearer than two competing packs.

Separate a Balanced Core from a Quality-Led Step-Up

Within this practical HOUTU portfolio route, 4011 is considered when the buyer needs a balance between product profile and commercial accessibility. 41022 is considered when the project protects a more quality-led tea position. The current samples-not the code names alone-decide final acceptance.

Lock the Tea, Pack and Brand into One Repeatable SKU Record

Small retail packs can look similar while using different tea, laminate, print colors or carton counts. The approved SKU record connects the grade, 25g pack, buyer-owned branding and repeat-order reference.

Production Begins After the Tea and 25g Pack Files Are Complete

The four-week production estimate begins after the selected tea sample, 25g material, artwork, carton file, documents and commercial terms are approved. Later grade or artwork changes require a new review.

Choose One Clear 25g Role Before Expanding the Portfolio

Sophie will provide the current 4011 and 41022 samples and discuss whether the Gambian project should begin with one core SKU or a clearly separated two-tier 25g range.
