Summary
Five connected guides now cover the commercial side of ceramic buying: distributor assortments, customisation levels, set logic, ordering calendars, and AQL acceptance baselines. The series is live in English and Spanish on the Storiware blog.

Five Guides, One Buying Cycle
The Storiware blog has added five connected guides aimed at the commercial side of ceramic sourcing — the decisions that surround the factory relationship rather than happen inside it. The series is published in English and Spanish.
What the New Guides Cover
- Assortment structure — how distributors build a three-tier mug range across good, better and best.
- Customisation levels — white-label, semi-custom and full OEM, and how to step up without paying twice.
- Set logic — which piece counts sell in which channels, and what sets do to container economics.
- The ordering calendar — holiday windows and everyday replenishment, planned on one calendar.
- Acceptance baselines — how AQL sampling works and how to write the standard into the order.
Each guide stands alone and links to the wider sourcing series, so buyers can hand a single topic to the colleague who owns it — commercial, production, quality or logistics.
The guides reflect the questions buyers raise in day-to-day program work. Topic suggestions for future series are welcome through the usual channels.
