Why storage and shelf life matters on the Stark X
Cool, dry and dark storage preserves flavour stability over the stated shelf life.
Keeping a short internal note on storage and shelf life for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Stark X.

Commercial terms
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.
Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.

| Pallet (1742 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
