Aloha Mix — Store Handling
Receive, prepare and merchandise Aloha Mix bouquets with a clear reference for your team.
Check the case first
Match the case label, packing list and purchase order. Aloha Mix has two current case configurations:
- Wet Pack: 8 bouquets per case · SKU DL-ALOHA-MIX-WP8.
- Dry Pack: 12 bouquets per case · SKU DL-ALOHA-MIX-DP12.
Use the configuration on the actual case; these packs are not interchangeable.
Receive and prepare
Inspect the carton and flowers on arrival. Record shortages or damage with photographs and retain the case label for follow-up. Move flowers promptly to your processing area.
Prepare clean buckets and tools. Recut stems, remove foliage below the waterline and hydrate using your approved commercial flower-care solution according to its label. Keep stems off dirty surfaces and avoid crowding or bruising blooms.
Display and maintain
Keep the display cool and away from heat. Check solution levels and flower condition daily; maintain clean containers and rotate stock. Follow your approved floral-care procedure for storage temperature and conditioning time.
Ordering route
C&S Hatfield: case pricing includes delivery to Hatfield, MA; C&S handles onward store delivery. Coordinate purchase-order confirmation and delivery questions with your C&S representative.
