A wholesale press-on nail line sheet is a dated buying document, not a lookbook with prices added at the last minute. It should let a retailer, boutique, salon or online brand identify an orderable design, understand what one sellable set contains, see the price basis and minimums, and know which details still need confirmation.
For press-on nails, the most useful line sheet keeps five things together: the design reference, the retail unit, the quantity conditions, the packaging route and the next buying step. It does not replace a quotation or a physical sample. It makes both easier to prepare and compare.
Line sheet, catalog or lookbook?
These documents serve different jobs.
- A lookbook sells the visual direction of a collection. It can use styled photography and short descriptions, but it may not contain every price or ordering condition.
- A catalog shows a broader assortment. It helps a buyer discover designs and shortlist references, but availability, quantity and final costs may still need confirmation.
- A line sheet is a buying reference for a defined collection or season. It should contain the fields a buyer needs to request or place an order without guessing.
If the buyer still has to ask for the design reference, quantity basis, packaging route or current terms, the document is closer to a lookbook than a usable line sheet. A general wholesale line-sheet guide also treats the document as an order-oriented reference with product identification, prices, minimums and ordering terms, rather than as a brand brochure: line-sheet overview.
Put one orderable design on each line
Start with one row or one clearly separated block for each design a buyer can select. Do not group five similar photographs under one name if the shape, finish or quantity may differ.
Record the following fields where they are confirmed:
- Supplier reference, SKU or working code
- Product name and a clear image
- Shape and length direction
- Finish, color direction and visible decoration
- Material information or a question for the supplier
- Number of nail pieces in one set and the size arrangement
- Included accessories, such as adhesive tabs or an instruction insert
- Packaging or presentation version
The image is for recognition, not a substitute for a specification. If a size mix, material or accessory is not confirmed for the selected design, mark it as pending. A line sheet becomes less useful when a buyer has to infer a product detail from a styled photo.
Show the commercial basis, not only a unit price
The price needs a unit and a condition. State whether it is per retail set, per design, per package or another defined unit. Add the quantity tier, currency, date checked and any exclusions that change the comparison.
For a wholesale press-on nail line sheet, the commercial fields should answer:
- Is this an existing catalog design or a new custom design?
- Is the minimum per design, across the order or dependent on a mixed assortment?
- Does the price include the nail set only, or also a card, box, insert and accessories?
- Is a design sample available, and is its fee separate from freight?
- Is international shipping included, estimated or quoted separately?
- Which points are published starting conditions and which require an order-specific quote?
SENAILGLOBAL's current catalog publishes ready-made set pricing by quantity tier and states that shipping, custom packaging, backing cards and accessories are quoted separately. The catalog and sample page is therefore the right place to start a shortlist, but the selected designs, quantities and destination still need confirmation before an order is approved.
Keep product MOQ and packaging MOQ visible
One of the most common line-sheet mistakes is showing one minimum for a project that actually has several decisions inside it. Keep these lines separate:
- Product quantity: the number of sellable nail sets
- Design route: existing catalog selection or new development
- Packaging quantity: cards, boxes, inserts or other printed pieces
- Sample scope: design sample, full set, packaging proof or another review item
- Freight basis: sample or bulk shipment, destination and requested method
The current SENAILGLOBAL private-label information lists new custom designs from 100 sets per design. It also lists design samples at USD 5 per design plus shipping, with timing described as about one week for the stated route. These are current public starting conditions, not a universal market rule or a promise for every design. Put them next to the route they describe and ask for written confirmation when the design, packaging or destination changes.
Define the complete retail unit
Retail buyers do not sell a photograph. They sell a set with a defined presentation. Use the line sheet to describe what the customer receives and what the buyer is actually ordering.
For each relevant design, state whether the retail unit includes nail pieces, adhesive tabs, an instruction card, a file, a stick, a wipe or another agreed component. If a component is optional or still under review, say so. Do not copy an accessory from a reference image into the commercial description without confirmation.
Packaging should have its own version field. Identify the backing card, box, sleeve, insert or buyer-provided material, then record the artwork version and approval status. A nail design sample does not automatically approve the printed package. Keep the product reference and packaging proof connected, but do not treat them as the same approval.
Add a destination and timing field without inventing a promise
A useful line sheet can ask for a target launch or delivery window, but it should not turn that date into an unconditional lead-time promise. Record:
- Destination country and postal code
- Sample or bulk order
- Requested shipping method, if known
- Whether the date means ship date, handover date or in-hand date
- What is still waiting for approval
This distinction matters because sample review, artwork approval, production, packing and transit are different events. The buyer can request a timeline in the quotation; the line sheet should make the assumptions visible rather than hiding them behind one date.
Version the document before sending it
Put an issue date and version on the line sheet. When a price, design reference, packaging format or minimum changes, update the version instead of silently replacing the PDF.
Keep a short status next to each important field:
- Confirmed: supported by the current quote, approved sample or published page
- Proposed: a buyer preference or supplier suggestion that is not final
- To confirm: an open question that affects ordering
- Not included: deliberately outside the current scope
This makes a later reorder easier. The next buyer or team member can see which version was used, what was approved and which assumptions should not be carried forward.
A practical line-sheet review before inquiry
Before sending the document to a supplier, check that:
- Every design has a reference, quantity and buying route.
- The sellable set and accessories are defined or marked open.
- Product, sample, packaging and freight costs are not mixed into one unexplained number.
- Minimums are labeled by design, order, packaging or project.
- The target country and requested timing are visible.
- Each artwork or package has a version and approval status.
- Unconfirmed fields are questions, not assumptions.
For design discovery and current sample routes, use the SENAILGLOBAL catalog. For a new design or branded package, send the line sheet with the relevant references through the private-label service page. Buyers who already have a shortlist can also use the catalog shortlist guide before requesting a quote.
FAQ
Does a line sheet need an MSRP?
Not always. A supplier line sheet may show a suggested retail price when the supplier has a documented policy for it, but a retailer should not invent an MSRP from a wholesale price. Keep your own retail pricing decision separate from the supplier's product and packaging quote.
Is a line sheet the same as a wholesale catalog?
No. A catalog is useful for discovery and may cover a broad assortment. A line sheet is narrower and more order-focused. It should be dated and specific enough that the buyer can identify the exact lines to quote.
Is a line sheet enough to approve production?
No. It is a planning and buying document. A production release still needs the applicable written specification, sample or proof approval, commercial terms and destination review.
The best wholesale press-on nail line sheet reduces avoidable questions without pretending that open details are final. Keep the document current, separate product from packaging, and take the next step through a catalog, sample request or quote that confirms the exact project.
