Furniture Programmes for Retail Chains and Discounters
Wanhao has supplied Aldi, Lidl, JYSK, Coop, Bilka and Netto. Those accounts are named on the company's own record, and they set the way the factory works: a fixed specification, a signed carton drawing, and a second production run that is identical to the first.
What Goes Wrong in This Channel
A promotion date that cannot move
A chain promotion is booked months ahead. The product either lands in the DC on the agreed week or the bay stands empty.
Specification drift between runs
The sample gets approved, the first run matches it, and the third run quietly changes a tube gauge.
Carton failures in the DC
Damage discovered at the DC is expensive twice: the write-off, and the gap on the shelf.
Artwork, barcodes and labels that have to be right
Retail packaging is a compliance job, not a design job.
What Wanhao Does About It
- Specification frozen at sample approvalThe approved sample becomes the reference for every later run of that model.
- Carton drawing signed before productionCarton size, board grade, internal protection and loading plan are agreed before the line starts.
- Artwork produced to your filesCarton print, barcodes and retail labels are produced from the artwork you supply.
- One factory for steel and panel partsFewer handovers between suppliers means fewer places for a specification to drift.

Retail Chains and Discounters — Questions
Do you work with retail chain packaging requirements?
Yes. Carton artwork, barcodes and retail labelling are produced to the buyer's files, and the carton drawing is signed off before production.
Can you hold a specification across several seasons?
Yes. The approved sample is the reference for every later run of that model.
Which retail accounts have you supplied?
Wanhao's own company record names Aldi, Lidl, JYSK, Coop, Bilka and Netto.
Can you supply social compliance audit reports?
Audit and certificate status is confirmed per order — tell us which scheme your account requires and we will confirm in writing what is currently in place.
