How many colors should one value multi-pack carry?

Short 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.

A fork-tail soft plastic from our sampled Soft Lure listings: split tail, bulk-packed, color and pack count to order.
From the record: Fork-tail soft plastics: the multi-pack value tier

In detail

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.
