Define what will be sold
Product families, performance levels, good-better-best logic, compatible accessories, market requirements, and model naming organized before artwork.
Solution / Distributor programmes
Turn a product list into a range that can be reordered.
A distributor program needs more than a logo on packaging. Model structure, product construction, color rules, labels, pack quantities, artwork revisions, documents, and sample approvals must stay linked.
Planning outcome
What the review should produce
A controlled range matrix that connects each sellable model to its construction, brand files, packaging, approval sample, available evidence, order unit, and change record.

Typical system map
Four layers to coordinate before the product list is final.
Lock the physical item
Construction, dimensions, color, print, performance checks, reference sample, specification revision, and open issues recorded per model.
Control buyer-facing identity
Logo files, product labels, barcodes, bags, reels, boxes, inner cartons, master cartons, quantities, and language versions mapped to each SKU.
Prevent silent drift
Approved specification, artwork revision, pack record, document matrix, change-notice rule, and reorder comparison retained as the purchasing baseline.
Project inputs
Bring these six fields into the first review.
- 01Target market and channel
- 02Initial product and model matrix
- 03Reference specifications or samples
- 04Brand, label, and barcode files
- 05Pack quantity and carton rules
- 06Required evidence, forecast, and launch timing
Buyer questions
Decisions that change the bill of materials.
Should artwork begin before the product sample is approved?
Preliminary layouts can start, but final dimensions, claims, model names, regulatory marks, and pack quantities should follow the approved product and document review. Otherwise a construction change can force avoidable artwork rework.
What makes a private-label model repeatable?
Link one model and revision to the product specification, approved sample or controlled record, artwork files, packaging bill, test requirements, document matrix, order unit, and change-notice rule.
How should the first range be prioritized?
Start with the products that share buyers, channel position, compatible accessories, evidence needs, and realistic order volumes. A coherent initial range is easier to sample, document, stock, and explain than a long disconnected list.

Have a schedule, drawing, or BOQ?
Review the system before locking the part numbers.
SUNPU can identify missing configuration fields, related components, sample requirements, and available model-specific documents.
