Quick answer
What should a hardware buyer plan first?
Start with the size range your customers actually request, then match each size to a selling format: small box or bag for retail, and larger bags or cartons for wholesale and contractor supply. BEST Common Nails are listed in 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2", 3", and 4" lengths, with catalog-listed pack formats that can be discussed against your channel and market requirements.
01 / Product assortment
Use the size range to build a sellable Common Nail line
Hardware stores and regional distributors need a clear way to compare size, diameter, and pack format before placing a purchase order. The following dimensions are taken from the BEST Hardware product catalog; the final assortment should reflect your local demand and customer mix.
| Catalog length | Length in mm | Wire diameter | Planning use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1" | 25 mm | 1.6 mm | Short-length retail demand |
| 1 1/4" | 30 mm | 1.8 mm | General hardware range |
| 1 1/2" | 40 mm | 2.2 mm | General wood fastening |
| 2" | 50 mm | 2.5 mm | Core contractor and retail size |
| 2 1/2" | 60 mm | 2.8 mm | Medium-length building use |
| 3" | 70 mm | 3.1 mm | Longer timber fastening |
| 4" | 100 mm | 4.1 mm | Long-length project demand |

Channel logic
Do not treat every size as an equal stock item. Separate your retail shelf range from larger packs intended for contractors, wholesalers, or project supply.
Technical confirmation
Send the exact length, diameter, surface requirement, and pack format when you need a quotation for a specific market.
02 / Pack format by channel
Match the pack format to how your customers buy
Packaging affects shelf handling, warehouse movement, private-label presentation, and the quantity a customer is ready to purchase. The catalog lists several Common Nail packing formats; use them as a starting point for your channel discussion and confirm the final packing specification before production.
Retail shelf and hardware counter
Small box or bag formats can make size and product information easier to present. Confirm the pack weight, label language, barcode requirement, and outer carton mark for your market.
Wholesale and regional distribution
Larger bags or cartons can suit distributor and contractor supply where handling efficiency matters. Confirm whether the order should use 7 kg bags, 25 kg cartons, or another approved format.
Private-label and regional brands
OEM/ODM support can cover product, packaging, brand, and logo requirements. Discuss artwork, pack hierarchy, shipping marks, and the order quantity before requesting a final quotation.
03 / Procurement checklist
Prepare the information needed for an accurate quotation
A channel-focused order should be quoted by the actual assortment and pack plan, not by the product name alone. Send the following details so the supplier can review the correct production and shipping conditions.
Product and size
Confirm Common Nail, the required lengths, wire diameters, and any surface or head requirements.
Channel and pack
State whether the order is for retail, wholesale, regional distribution, private label, or a combination.
Quantity and timing
Share the total quantity, size mix, target replenishment date, and whether you want a trial order before regular supply.
Destination and marks
Add the destination port when needed for shipping planning, plus logo, label, carton, and shipping mark requirements.

Quality and sample check
Samples are available for quality checking. A basic sample charge normally applies, and any refund or deduction against a formal order can be discussed. Use the sample stage to confirm size, surface, head shape, pack weight, label, and carton presentation before a larger channel order.
