Building a Buyer Line Sheet for Woven Baskets That Actually Gets Used
If a line sheet needs a guided tour, it is already too complex for market week.
One glance hierarchy
Put hero images, item numbers, and size ladders where the eye lands first. Burying packing and MOQ on page seven guarantees questions you will answer one by one on WhatsApp.
Group by silhouette family, not by random SKU chronology.
Fields buyers check under pressure
Include colorways, pack quantity, CBM or carton notes, reference price band, and sample availability. Mark which finishes are core versus limited.
A tiny legend for symbols beats paragraphs of conditions.
- Item number + marketing name
- Size ladder
- Color cores
- Pack / CBM
- MOQ flag
- Lead-time band
Digital + print dual use
Export a PDF for shows and a linked web version to product pages for deeper specs. The line sheet is the map; the catalog is the terrain.
Update dates visibly so buyers know they are not negotiating from last year’s ghosts.
