Freight consolidation changes the answer to shelf merchandising at container scale, which is why small and large buyers reach different conclusions.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Zen 3 economics actually settle.

Frequently asked questions
How much shelf space should Zen 3 get?
Enough for a full flavour block; partial ranges confuse customers and slow rotation.
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.
What happens if a batch fails inspection?
The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
