1. Define the market and end buyer
Start by identifying where the product will be sold and who will use it. A craft retailer, online seller, studio, workshop organizer and gift seller may need different color coverage, packaging and kit components.
- Destination country and sales channel
- Target user and intended age group
- Expected price tier and product positioning
- Typical 2D, 3D or open-ended creative use
2. Choose the product format
Confirm which of the three main sourcing formats you need:
- Beads Only: selected colors in 100 g, 250 g or 500 g packs.
- Beads + Storage & Tools: bulk packs plus empty storage boxes, boards and hand tools.
- Complete DIY Kits: one of nine standard color sets or an image-based custom project kit.
Compare the formats in Three Ways to Build Your Fuse Bead Product Range.
3. Confirm the color set or exact color codes
Choose one of the nine standard products containing 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 192 or 221 colors, or provide an exact list of individual color codes.
Retailers and wholesalers can use the intended end-user scenario to decide which color range to stock. Review the color-set guide before confirming the assortment.
4. Confirm pack sizes and quantities
General bulk beads are available in 100 g, 250 g and 500 g packs per color. Provide the required pack size and quantity for each color, together with the estimated total order volume.
| Information | Example |
|---|---|
| Color code | A3, H1 or another selected shade |
| Pack size | 100 g, 250 g or 500 g |
| Quantity per color | Number of packs or total weight |
| Total order estimate | Approximate kilograms or number of kits |
5. Confirm storage, boards and tool requirements
List the empty storage boxes, pegboards, tweezers, bead scoops, sorting trays, bead-placement tools or ironing paper you want to add.

6. Prepare image-based custom kit information
When requesting a kit based on an image, provide:
- The image or design file
- Preferred finished project size
- Estimated number of kits
- Target user and sales market
- Required product box or compartment direction
- Whether pegboards, tweezers, other bead-placement tools or ironing paper are needed
JoyBeans Craft can match suitable standard colors, calculate the required quantities and sort the project colors into the confirmed DIY kit box.
7. Confirm labels and retail-packaging requirements
Custom labels can be applied using buyer-provided or approved label artwork. JoyBeans Craft does not provide outer packaging design.
Final retail packaging must be evaluated according to the order volume, packaging feasibility and the requirements or regulations of the destination market. Share these requirements before quotation rather than after production planning begins.
8. Share quotation and delivery information
- Destination country and delivery address or port
- Preferred delivery method, when known
- Required sample or production timeline
- Documentation or market-compliance questions
- Contact name, email and optional WhatsApp number
These details help the sales team confirm product pricing, packaging feasibility, lead time and freight questions more efficiently.
9. Wholesale inquiry checklist
| Required decision | What to send |
|---|---|
| Product format | Beads only, beads + empty storage/tools, standard set or custom image kit |

| Quantities | 100 g, 250 g or 500 g packs by color, or total number of DIY kits |
| Components | Box, boards, tweezers, custom bead-placement tools, ironing paper and labels |
