Wholesale baby diapers by bulk container comes down to three numbers: how many cartons fit, what the run costs, and when it lands. This guide explains container types, carton math and how to time reorders so you never stock out.

Buying wholesale baby diapers bulk container style changes the economics. Per-unit price drops, but now you're managing freight, lead time and the very real risk of a warehouse full of the wrong SKU. The brands that scale do the carton math before they sign, not after.

Container types and how much fits

A 20ft container holds roughly 10–12 pallets; a 40ft high-cube fits about 20–24. Carton size and pallet pattern decide the real number, so we confirm the load plan per order. Mixing SKUs (different sizes) changes the cube — plan it with our capacity data in mind.

Cost: beyond the unit price

The ex-works price is the small number. Freight, insurance, duties and the desiccant add up. For the unit math, see our cost breakdown. A wholesale baby diapers bulk container only beats LCL when the cube is full — half a container often costs more per unit than you'd think.

Timing your reorders

Lead time is sampling plus production plus shipping, often 25–35 days plus ocean transit. Set a reorder point from sales velocity, not a calendar. New brands: our startup guide and MOQ guide help you size the first container. Don't forget the pre-shipment steps in our export checklist.

Protect the load

Palletize, desiccant, supervised loading — same as export. See the export factory checklist. Moisture is the silent killer of a bulk order.

Frequently asked questions

20ft or 40ft for a first order?

20ft if you're testing a market; 40ft high-cube when velocity is proven. Half a 40ft often isn't worth it.

What does a container actually cost?

Ex-works plus freight, insurance, duty and desiccant. Our cost breakdown shows the full picture.

How do I avoid stockouts?

Reorder from sales velocity and lead time, not a fixed date. Build in ocean transit.

Is FCL always cheaper than LCL?

Only when the cube is near full. A partially filled container can cost more per unit than LCL.
