Packaging is part of the product file. Labels, barcodes, bags, assortments and cartons should be defined early enough to source the correct components and avoid delaying finished goods.
Exact materials, quantities, testing, timing and production routes must be confirmed against the actual style and order.
Garment-Level Information
Confirm which information must remain attached to the product and which belongs on removable packaging.
- Main brand label
- Care and composition label
- Size and country information
- Hangtags and product identifiers
Individual Packing
The polybag or alternative pack should suit the garment, market and handling requirements.
- Bag size and material
- Warnings or ventilation requirements
- Barcode and SKU placement
- Folding and insert method
Assortments and Cartons
Define how colours and sizes are distributed and how every carton is identified.
- Solid or mixed assortments
- Units per inner pack and carton
- Carton dimensions and weight targets
- Carton marks and destination data
Approval and Timing
Artwork and physical components need approval before bulk packing begins.
- Dated artwork approval
- Physical sample where needed
- Component lead time
- Final packing check
Prepare the Next Conversation
Collect the product references, quantities, target market, timing and customization requirements that are already known. Mark flexible items clearly, then ask the supplier to identify missing decisions before sampling or quotation.
