How it works
|
The term “Each” may be shown next to the products on web sites etc, but more often is simply omitted.
|
The term “Pack of x” may be shown next to the products on web sites but ideally should be part of the product name.
In future, the quantity will be used to calculate and show unit costs, for example:
•Product name: Pencils – Pack of 500
•Price: £9.99
•Unit cost: £0.02p (i.e. the price per pencil)
|
|
When to use
|
•No multiple quantities are involved at all.
•Omitting “each” will not cause questions or ambiguity, either for customers that are shopping, or warehouse staff that are picking.
•The whole product cannot be divided into equal things.
•It simply makes no sense to divide the product, e.g. pair of socks
|
•There are quantities involved in the product.
•The whole product can be divided into equal things.
|
|
How to use
|
The product name should normally make no reference to the quantity.
There are a few special cases where adding information about the quantity helps clarity, e.g. gloves, socks…
|
The product name should normally reference to the quantity.
