Cassava cat litter: checking particle size and 10 L packs before buying
Emily pets editorial team
A new cat litter needs a clear role in your range. For cassava cat litter, it helps to review particle size and pack format together: what belongs on the specification sheet, what is missing from your shipping calculation and which sample will be approved? This purchasing guide helps buyers serving Germany turn a product idea into a concrete inquiry.
1. Start with three catalogue specifications
Emily pets product data lists this line as cassava cat litter with a 10 L pack and a particle size of 2–6 mm. These figures describe the listed range. Availability, exact composition and packaging are confirmed for the order.
The material name does not answer every purchasing question. Request a complete specification for the offered variant, including any additives and its intended use. Do not infer clump strength, dust levels or usage duration from cassava alone.
2. What does 2–6 mm mean for your sample?
The stated size range is not a substitute for an agreed particle size distribution. Ask how particle size is measured, which tolerances apply and how fines are handled. Record the confirmed test method with the specification rather than assuming your own tolerance.
Assess a representative sample during ordinary handling: open the bag, pour a defined amount and document particle shape and visible fines. Use the same container and procedure for comparison samples. Photographs help the discussion but do not replace an agreed measurement.
3. Ten litres do not complete a shipping calculation
The listed pack is specified in litres. Storage and shipping calculations also require confirmed net weight, gross weight and bag dimensions. Do not convert 10 L into kilograms without that information.
Also request units per outer carton, carton dimensions and pallet configuration. A specialist retailer may need a different packaging profile from an online shop. An initially attractive bag price is only one part of your calculation; include the confirmed transit packaging and quotation scope.
4. Prepare a traceable sample approval
Assess the product and packaging separately. Record the product sample identification, receipt date and agreed test criteria. For a requested property such as clumping or odour control, define the method and acceptance criterion before comparing samples. This article does not report measured performance figures for the line.
Check the packaging sample for closure, legibility, handling and condition after an agreed transport test. Retain the approved sample and document the version being ordered. Purchasing and incoming-goods teams can then work from the same confirmed information.
5. Align German packaging copy with the variant
For a private label, the product name, fill quantity and usage instructions should match the confirmed specification. Claims such as ‘dust-free’, ‘antibacterial’ or ‘compostable’ should not appear on the pack solely because the raw material is plant-based. Obtain supporting evidence and review such claims for the target market before approving artwork.
Disposal instructions also need separate confirmation. The material name does not authorise disposal in a toilet or organic waste bin. In OEM projects, you provide your specification and artwork; an ODM discussion develops the product and packaging concept together. Feasibility, minimum quantity, cost and timing are confirmed per project.
