PVC Double Track Sliding Car

The TF212344 is a roll of blue PVC track with two lanes running side by side, supplied wound on itself with the black clamp stands packed separately. The track is flexible, so the child sets the height and the shape: the photographs show it looped into a vertical curve, run flat across a floor, and angled down from a table edge using the clamp stands, which are moulded with suction cups at the foot. Two small sports cars are included. Nothing about the layout is fixed, which is the difference between this and the moulded dinosaur track sets further up this collection: those build one shape, this one can be rebuilt in a minute and stored as a roll.

The packing is the most efficient in the track range, measured per unit rather than per carton: a carton holds 16 pieces at 0.077 CBM and 20 kg gross, which is 0.0048 CBM per piece, so 1.25 kg per unit and 363 cartons on a 20GP, 5,808 pieces. The 80-piece minimum is five cartons and 0.385 CBM. Because the product is a rolled strip rather than a rigid assembled layout, the retail box is small for what the child gets, which is what makes it work on a shelf where a 68 cm long dinosaur track set will not fit.

It sits at the bottom of this category at $5.49, above only the TF213415 storage dinosaur car at $4.38. That makes it the natural trial SKU for a buyer who wants to test the track category without committing to the moulded sets, and it also travels well: at 0.077 CBM per carton it is the cheapest model here to top up by the carton. The trade-off is that it carries no storage container, so the display story is the track itself rather than a vehicle that doubles as a box.
