  "body": "Stock is corrugated on purpose\n\nEvery live Koorpet SKU is triple-layer high-density board: flexible dies, replaceable cores, predictable cube, and a price band that works for Amazon and grocery. Sisal posts and wood trees are scheduled on wholesale / OEM RFQs — they are not stock heroes.\n\nDust, chewing, water-based glue\n\nCorrugated fails as debris and delamination; an OEM specification should define board structure, adhesive requirements and the inspection method. Formaldehyde, heavy-metal or chew-safety pack claims require a valid report for the model, material batch and destination market.\n\nFields that belong on the spec sheet\n\nBoard: plies, grammage / density, flute direction, adhesive, size tolerance, dust claim. Sisal: fibre, diameter, wrap density, core, base weight. Paste the sheet into the RFQ notes. “Better quality” is not a specification.\n\nMixed programmes\n\nMany brands use corrugated as the traffic SKU and sisal as the AOV lift. Put both lines on one RFQ, but the ship date follows the slower line. Do not assume both materials leave the same week.\n\nFAQ\n\nWhy is sisal missing from the catalogue?\n\nThe public site lists corrugated stock only. Sisal and wood trees are scheduled from the RFQ — include structure and target qty.\n\nCan you combine board and sisal in one SKU?\n\nYes, as an OEM assembly. It needs its own sample and a longer lead than stock corrugated.",
