Direct answer. Fewer than the wall suggests. Westin lists its Ned Worm in eight colors at each of two lengths, which is sixteen SKUs from one mould before any pack-count variant, and that arithmetic is the whole problem: every color is a separate pour, a separate clean-down and a separate bag or card. Key facts. 1) Pack count, color count and the channel: Pack decision color count inside the pack, What the trade source says Westin lists its Ned Worm in eight colors at each of two lengths, and RinPac's brief asks a buyer for unit count and SKU count together (Westin, RinPac), What it demands from a factory Eight colors at two lengths is sixteen SKUs from one mould, so a mixed-color bag is how a value tier keeps the SKU count and the fill labor under control. Frequently asked questions. Q: How many colors should one value multi-pack carry? A: Fewer than the wall suggests. Westin lists its Ned Worm in eight colors at each of two lengths, which is sixteen SKUs from one mould before any pack-count variant, and that arithmetic is the whole problem: every color is a separate pour, a separate clean-down and a separate bag or card. For a value multi-pack, two to four colors inside one pack is a merchandising decision rather than a product one, and a mixed-color bag cuts SKU count while adding fill labor. Ask the factory which colors share a base resin, because switching between dark and light pours is where color cost accumulates.
