Why it matters

Packing is the first thing a retailer's warehouse checks. A wrong size ratio, a missing label or an unmarked carton can hold a shipment at receiving, however good the garments are.

From the garment to the shipment.

What is applied, packed and written down at each layer, and what is checked before the carton closes.

A checked cotton shirt from current production, with its labels and branded trims where the style's specification places them.
01 / 03Labelling
On the garment
Labels are part of the garment before they are part of the pack. Sewn-in labels and branded trims go on at stitching, in the positions the specification gives.
Tags, tickets and stickers are added when the garment is folded and bagged, to the same specification.

In the carton
Garments are folded, bagged and packed to the size ratio or assortment you specify. The carton is then marked, and its contents entered on the packing list that travels with it.
A packing check against the packing list before cartons close:

03 / 03Documents
With the shipment
A domestic order leaves as a delivery with its packing list. An export order leaves with its documents, prepared and checked against the cartons and the list.
Which documents a shipment needs depends on the destination and the shipping terms, and is confirmed against the programme.
