Mini Canvas and Easel Sets for Wholesale: Shapes, Print Options and 20-Piece Packs

Clay Tool Kits for Wholesale: Piece Counts, Wood or Plastic Handles and Bulk Packing
A clay tool kit is bought by the number of pieces in it, and that number decides the rest of the order. A five-piece set and a fifty-one-piece set are both clay tools; they are not the same purchase, and they do not sell to the same counter. This page stays on the three things […]
Custom Logo Sketch Books for Wholesale: Wire-O, Glued and Black-Paper Formats
A custom logo sketch book is bought on three decisions that have nothing to do with how the paper is made: the format, the cover, and what gets printed on it. Those are the three a buyer can still change after the quotation is signed. The format comes first, and it is not the paper […]

Sketchbooks and Drawing Pads: Paper Weight, Binding and Bulk Buying

Solid Watercolor Blocks: A Buyer’s Guide for Schools and Wholesale Orders
Solid watercolor is sold in three shapes that buyers treat as one product and customers experience as three.
