How Many Items in Each Basket?

Ann Marie asks:
“Is there some kind of formula to figure out how many items goes into a small, medium, or large basket?”
Someone, somewhere may have created a formula, but in my experience, none exists because the size of each basket or container and product determines what fits and how much to include.
Look at your inventory. There are slim boxes, wide jars, and flexible packages. Each one fits differently into every design, so there’s no way to match number of items to every basket.
Like veteran designers, you’ll develop an eye for configuration so there is less guesswork in deciding what and how much to add.

Hi,
I usually go by price points – smaller baskets are less money and then I can judge how many items to put into the baskets.
Rosemarie,
I can understand what you explain and am sure other designers go about choosing number of items the same way.
Hi, i have seen many times, what you expects the best in your basket within your budget doesnt comes up, it all depends on designers choice how much items they include in to each for sale
