Building Margin with Flat-Pack Sofas
Retail margin is not set at the shelf — it is protected at the container. Every euro saved on freight and storage flows straight through to your bottom line or your price competitiveness.
Take a mid-range 2-seater. Traditional shipping might allocate €18–25 of freight per unit; compression can cut that to a third. Across a seasonal volume, that is a meaningful swing in contribution margin.
The winners pair compression with tighter SKU rationalization, holding fewer but faster-moving variants and reinvesting the saved warehouse cost into marketing or service.
Margin is built before the sofa leaves the factory — flat-pack design is where profit is protected.
