Air Bar Zen 5: Carton and Pallet Configuration for Distributors
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Carton and pallet configuration decides how much of every Zen 5 order arrives saleable rather than damaged.
What follows is a practical view of carton and pallet configuration for the Zen 5, written for people who place repeat orders rather than one off buys.
Seasonality interacts with carton and pallet configuration more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Why carton and pallet configuration matters on the Zen 5
Inner tray counts should be chosen so a single carton matches a realistic week of counter sales.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Zen 5 economics actually settle.
Pallet patterns that interlock reduce movement damage on long road legs.
