Multi-SKU Program Planner
Keep each artwork or SKU visible while adding up the program volume buyers are asked to discuss.
SKU / artworkAnnual impressions / pieces
Aggregate program volume400,000
| SKU | Annual volume |
|---|---|
| SKU 1 | 250,000 |
| SKU 2 | 150,000 |
Aggregate volume does not guarantee combined supplier pricing. Artwork, size, structure, setup, MOQ, releases, inventory, and terms can remain SKU-specific.
When to use it
Use it for private-label, co-packer, contract-manufacturing, and multi-artwork programs where each SKU has its own volume.
What you need
- SKU or artwork name
- Annual impressions or pieces for each SKU
- A consistent quantity unit
Formula
aggregate program volume = sum of positive individual SKU volumesWorked example
Four SKUs at 250M each total 1MM impressions, while still remaining four separate artworks.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the supplier combines every SKU for pricing
- Mixing pieces, M, pounds, and rolls in one total
- Hiding low-volume SKUs inside the aggregate
Buyer questions
Will aggregate volume guarantee a better price?
No. Supplier pricing can remain specific to structure, size, artwork, setup, MOQ, releases, and inventory terms.
