Short answer: write the pack plan as four lines before you ask for a quote: what goes on the product, what goes in the box, how many pieces go in each carton and what the outer carton shows. Then check the pack on the sample.
The decisions, and who supplies each
| Decision | Write down | Who supplies |
|---|---|---|
| Label on the product, the pack or both | Your name or mark, and where it sits | ArtzFolio can place the label on the product, the pack or both |
| Inserts | Care card, layout guide or thank-you note | You, if you send them; they are packed to your plan |
| Inner pack | The box or sleeve that holds one piece | You, if you send packaging; if you have no pack plan, say so in the enquiry and the team replies with questions |
| Outer carton | Pieces per carton and what the carton shows | Set by the pack plan you give |
| Timing of anything you supply | The date it reaches the factory | You: boxes and inserts made elsewhere must arrive in time for packing |
Pack test on the sample
- Open the pack the way your customer will, and note what is hard to open or easy to damage.
- Check that the label sits where your plan says, on the product, the pack or both.
- Count the inserts and check that each is the right one.
- Check the pieces per carton against your plan, and what the outer carton shows.
- Photograph the approved pack so every reorder can be checked against it.
Packing is the last of the nine factory stations (see how a frame and a board are made). The same four-line plan serves as the pack specification for every reorder. More detail: private label packaging and inserts, barcode size and placement.
