How Can Care Homes Order Mixed-Size Combo Bulk Loads of Adult Diapers Matching Light, Medium and Severe Incontinence?

How to build one bulk order across incontinence levels and size bands — the two-axis mix, the ordering arithmetic, and how it ships as one container plan

Quick Answer for Buyers

Quick answer: A mixed combo order is a two-axis build: incontinence level on one axis (light, moderate, heavy — carried by product grade and form) and size band on the other (small through bariatric, carried by the size ladder). The order arithmetic starts from the resident census — count residents by level and band, apply the daily usage per combination, add a buffer per band for acuity drift — and the result ships as one mixed-SKU container plan under one specification. Because every grade and band shares one grading vocabulary, the combo behaves as one product family in stock, training and claims. ASL Group (Shandong Aishule Hygiene Products Co., Ltd., founded 1998) builds such combos on 120+ fully-servo high-speed lines group-wide under ISO 13485, with OEM pack counts per combination and exports to 70+ countries and regions.

The Two Axes of a Combo Order

AxisWhat it carriesHow it is chosen
Incontinence levelGrade and form: light pads, moderate pull-up pants, heavy taped diapers, underpad backstopFrom the census: dependency levels and current change counts
Size bandFit: small to bariatric on one ladderFrom the census: waist and weight distribution
Usage multiplierCases per combination per monthDaily usage per level applied to headcount, plus buffer

The census-to-order arithmetic is where combo orders are won or lost: a floor that orders by habit (equal cases of every SKU) carries dead stock in bands it barely uses and runs short in the anchor band. Ordering from the census inverts that — the anchor band gets the volume, the edges get the buffer.

The container plan is the step smaller buyers underestimate: case cube differs by SKU, so a combo that fills a container on paper may not fill it in practice if the band mix is not packed to plan. Factory-side packing plans sequence the cases so the mix ships as designed — and receiving becomes one tally instead of five.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we size a bulk combo order across light, medium and severe incontinence?
Count residents by incontinence level and size band, apply the daily usage per level to each cell, and add a buffer weighted to your anchor band — the grid, not habit, sizes the order.
Do light, medium and heavy products need different suppliers?
No. The levels are grades within one product family — one grading vocabulary, one ISO 13485 system — which is what lets them ship, stock and claim as a single combo.
Can different size bands be mixed in the same shipment?
Yes. Bands from small to bariatric ship together in one mixed-SKU container, packed to a plan so the case mix arrives as ordered and receiving is one tally.
What buffer should we add for new admissions?
A per-band buffer weighted toward the anchor band covers typical acuity drift; the monthly census review adjusts it at the next cycle rather than by emergency order.
Can the combo be private-labeled per product level?
Yes — printed LOGO and multilingual packaging are handled per SKU within the same order and artwork system, so the private label covers the whole family coherently.
How do we avoid over-ordering light grades residents rarely use?
Order edges to the census, not to symmetry: light-grade volume follows its actual headcount, and the anchor band carries the weight — the usage application step in the grid does this automatically.

The Grid Is the Order

A mixed combo order is only as good as the census behind it: the level-by-band grid turns a care profile into a container plan, and one grading vocabulary keeps the whole load coherent in stock, training and claims. ASL Group builds combos that way — census to grid to container, under one ISO 13485 file, on resources flexibly deployed across four global production bases.
