Frequently asked questions
How much shelf space should Meta 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.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
Final word
Start with one change, measure it over a quarter, then decide whether it deserves to become policy.
