Turn can and bottle dimensions into shelf spacing, facings and replenishment decisions before selecting a cabinet. Use the following framework to make supplier comparisons more specific and reduce avoidable revisions before production.
Define the product set
List each can, bottle or carton with width, depth, height and expected mix. Note whether products stand upright, lie on their side or use shelf-management accessories. This becomes the input for a pack-out drawing.
Protect functional clearances
Shelf spacing must allow loading and removal while preserving airflow, door closure and evaporator clearance. A drawing that fills every millimetre may not perform well in daily use.
Match facings to the retail task
Checkout placement may value a small number of high-visibility facings. High-volume convenience retail may prioritise deeper stock and fast replenishment. Define the commercial task before comparing cabinet volume.
Approve a stocked sample
For important rollouts, test the real packages in the sample. Confirm visibility, shelf deflection, door access, price-strip position and the time needed to reload the cabinet.
Apply the checklist
Turn the questions into a project brief.
Share the destination, product pack, quantity and intended placement. We’ll identify the reference platform and the information still needed.
