Line sheet

RETAILBOSS ReferenceUpdated November 2, 2026

A line sheet is a concise selling document that presents a brand’s products and the information a wholesale buyer needs to place an order.

How it works in retail

It typically shows product images, style references, variants, wholesale prices and relevant order or delivery details. Its purpose is practical buying communication.

A retail example

A jewellery brand sends a line sheet showing style codes, finishes, prices and minimum quantities for the collection.

What to keep in mind

A lookbook communicates a collection’s mood and styling; a line sheet supports ordering. Confirm that the prices and delivery information are current.

Examples are illustrative. Terminology and measurement conventions can vary by business and market.
