Why are they "third choice"? These products have minor issues that prevent retail sale in Europe:
50-70% below retail prices. Maximum margin potential for repackers who can sort and repackage locally.
60-90 bales per 40ft container. Process thousands of pieces per container at lowest cost.
Same factories as first choice products from Europe's top hygiene manufacturers. Premium materials, just minor defects.
Sort by size, repackage with your brand, or sell as-is in markets. Multiple revenue streams.
African and Asian markets prefer value products. Your margin grows with local rebranding.
Bales stack efficiently. Maximize container capacity and minimize shipping cost per piece.
