Which dry sift screens should a retailer include in a first wholesale order? Start with the frame formats and replacement requests your customers can actually identify, then specify a small, clearly differentiated range of singles or defined sets. Do not order every size and mesh combination merely because it appears in a catalogue. This is an assortment decision, not a claim that one micron is universally best.
This guide is for shops and online distributors selecting their opening inventory before requesting a quotation. EXTRACTPHYTO’s Dry Sift Screen range supports individual and bundle purchases and custom sizes, subject to quotation confirmation.
Separate the customer need from the catalogue option
Record customer requests by frame format, required aperture and purchase type. A request for a replacement frame is different from an enquiry about a complete set. If you have no sales history, label your opening assortment a test; do not treat a supplier’s range as evidence of local demand.
The 10 × 14 inch listing is one format to evaluate. Check the buyer’s actual work surface and storage constraints before selecting it. Listed outer dimensions do not establish usable mesh area.
Create one row for every saleable item
| Decision | Record before ordering | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Frame format | Outer dimensions and agreed usable area | Prevents confusing frame size with screening area |
| Screen specification | Required aperture, material and agreed verification | Mesh count alone does not define every fabric |
| Single or set | Exact frame count and specification of each frame | Makes the retail offer unambiguous |
| Opening quantity | Units per variant, with forecast assumptions | Exposes slow-stock risk |
| Replenishment | Quoted minimum and timing for each repeat SKU | A mixed opening order may have different reorder terms |
The 16 × 20 inch option gives a second catalogue reference. Keep each format’s item code separate even if the requested mesh is identical. For sets, verify stacking compatibility; same nominal length and width do not establish the frame interface.
Use a controlled opening range
Divide your plan into confirmed customer requirements, trial stock and enquiry-only options. Ask for separate prices and minimums for each group. A trial quantity is a buyer proposal, not a promised EXTRACTPHYTO minimum. Keep an enquiry-only option off your in-stock list until stock and fulfilment are confirmed.
The 25 × 36 inch format should earn its place through customer need, available space and confirmed delivered cost. A larger frame is not automatically the better retail product.
Decide what would justify a reorder
Track requests, sales, returns and stock remaining by exact variant. Distinguish lack of enquiries from fit-related returns. Do not replace a slow-selling size with a different micron without evidence that aperture was the purchasing barrier. Retain the approved specification so a reorder preserves the product customers bought.
For physical acceptance, use our quality checklist; this page addresses assortment allocation rather than duplicating that inspection.
Request an opening-assortment quotation
EXTRACTPHYTO is a China-based manufacturer with frame-size and mesh options. Send your proposed retail assortment for a wholesale quotation: include company, sales market, frame formats, aperture requirements, single/set contents, quantity per item, packaging preference and destination postal code. Ask which combinations can be supplied and how first-order and reorder terms differ. If quantities are undecided, provide an estimated range and identify the open questions.
