Dollhouses Under 40 cm

What this size means commercially

• A house under 40 cm high suits dolls of roughly 6-10 cm and is the band where doll fit has to be checked model by model; some set-ups that carry only figures will not take a 10 cm doll standing.
• Cartons in this band are mostly 0.01-0.05 m3 with a median of about 0.026 m3, and at 0.026 m3 a 40HQ carries roughly 2,300 units at 88 per cent fill - the highest density in the catalogue.
• Gross weight is usually under 9 kg, so a two-person parcel delivery and a retail shelf are both practical, and the storage cost per unit is the lowest of the three bands.
• Tabletop and suitcase formats are the natural gift and nursery order: they take a printed retail carton well, they stack on a shelf, and four portable models in the catalogue fold or pack into a case.
• The whole band is a good first order: 52 of the 130 published models quote at 10 pcs or fewer, and a mixed carton across three or four designs tests a channel without a container commitment.
• Ask for the interior floor height before the exterior height. At this band the two diverge most, and a house that looks right on a shelf can be too low inside for the doll the buyer intends to sell with it.
