Tea Canister Cartons: Define the Four Inner Boxes
Tea Canister gallery appearance. The printed food word identifies the presentation, not supplied contents, food-storage performance or pieces per inner box.
Ask how many complete tea canisters each inner box contains before converting Yafeng’s carton record into a product quantity. Its Tea Canister page lists an outer carton of 51.5 × 38 × 38 cm with four inner boxes included. It does not state the canister count inside each inner box. Four packaging boxes should therefore remain a separate record from the number of complete items being quoted.
A buyer sourcing wholesale storage jars and boxes may need a piece-based order quantity while the supplier’s initial sheet describes nested packaging levels. The useful response is a contents schedule linking the canister, any individual presentation, the inner boxes and the outer carton. This article develops that counting record rather than defining the members of a three-container retail set.
Keep product and carton facts in different rows
The official Tea Canister listing identifies Metal and product dimensions of 11 × 11 × 7.5 cm. It separately gives the outer-carton size and four-inner-box statement, with Carton packing as the packaging method. Retain these labels with the product URL so a carton dimension cannot be mistaken for the individual item size.
Ask which selected canister appearance and offered version the packing record covers. The gallery includes Tea and Coffee wording in different colour presentations. These are appearance references on the page, not confirmation of a mixed retail set or evidence that the outer carton contains one of every pictured version.

The table preserves what the page says while leaving the missing unit counts open. Do not fill those blanks by dividing external dimensions or counting the items in a styled picture. The supplier’s proposed packed configuration is the relevant source for the contents schedule.

Identify what counts as one complete canister
Ask the supplier to describe the complete item used in its piece count, including the components supplied with it. Keep a complete-canister quantity distinct from a count of separate bodies, lids or any requested replacement component. A carton record becomes easier to use when the word piece has one agreed meaning.
If the supplier proposes individual presentation units, identify what each contains and how those units are placed in an inner box. Do not assume an inner box is itself one retail unit. Keep a separately requested gift set or assortment outside the basic piece count until its member description has been confirmed.
Request a contents line for each inner box
Give the four inner boxes temporary buyer labels in the working sheet and ask for the complete-canister quantity in each. Record the product or appearance references represented by that quantity. If every box is packed identically, ask the supplier to confirm that shared configuration rather than inferring it from a neat outer-carton layout.
The complete-canister total is the sum of the confirmed quantities in the four boxes. If the supplier confirms the same quantity in every box, the total can be calculated from that repeated quantity. Keep the confirmation beside the calculation so a later mixed-box arrangement does not silently inherit the earlier total.

Link labels and the proposed packed sample
Ask how the inner-box and outer-carton contents will be identified in the supplier’s packing record. Where appearance variants are ordered, retain their allocation beside the quantity. A label that says only canister leaves more interpretation than a line naming the accepted item reference and complete-piece count.
Request a packed-sample view or contents layout where it helps clarify the four-box arrangement. Connect it to the written schedule rather than counting a photograph without context. Packing identity and quantity are the subject of this review; the record does not establish sealing, preservation, food-contact suitability or protection in transit.

Request the quotation in the same units
State whether the buyer’s requested quantity concerns complete canisters, defined sales units or outer cartons. Ask the supplier to repeat that unit in its response and attach the corresponding inner-box breakdown. Keep a proposed change of quantity basis visible before comparing commercial figures.
An enquiry can say: “For the selected Tea Canister version, please confirm the components counted as one complete item, the number of those items in each of the four inner boxes, and the complete-item total per outer carton. Please identify any individual presentation and appearance allocation separately.” Include the product URL and the observed carton entry.
Retain the acknowledged schedule with its date or revision. If the individual presentation, appearance mix or inner-box arrangement changes, request an updated total and packing record. This keeps replenishment orders understandable without turning an old carton description into an assumed permanent supply configuration.
Frequently asked questions
Does four inner boxes mean four canisters?
The page states a packaging-box count, not the canister count inside those boxes. Request complete items per inner box and the resulting outer-carton total.
Does the gallery’s two-canister picture define a set?
It shows catalogue appearances together. Ask for an explicit member list if a retail set is requested rather than assuming the image defines the commercial unit.
Can carton dimensions determine the piece count?
Request the actual packing arrangement. External dimensions do not specify the internal presentation, separation or number of complete canisters supplied.
Where should the quantity questions be sent?
Use the Yafeng contact page with the product URL, selected appearance and inner-box contents schedule, asking for a response in the same units.
