Retail buyer: separate the board from the presentation
A sporting-goods retailer may request several graphics for one proposed configuration. State quantities per graphic and decide whether packaging is neutral or branded. Ask for artwork proofs, carton dimensions and a model-linked pack list, keeping graphic approval separate from construction and performance questions.
Decision: compare the same pieces or sets and packaging basis before ranking unit prices. More packaging detail may change landed scope; a lower quoted item price alone does not establish lower procurement cost.
