Apparel Carton Packing Plan for Wholesale Orders

Create a packing matrix for garment SKUs, labels, carton counts and buyer checks before dispatch.

Choose the allocation method

Decide whether cartons should contain one SKU, a fixed size assortment, a team order or multiple approved SKUs. A retail buyer may want one barcode per colour and size. A club programme may need each personalised set packed together. Put the packing rule in the order specification.

Give the factory an item and carton matrix

List style, colour, size, quantity, inner-pack rule and carton identification. Distinguish the individual garment label from the outer carton mark. Include approved barcode artwork and confirm scan direction or sticker location where it matters. For pajama sets, specify whether tops and bottoms are packed as matching pairs.

Approve a packed example

Ask to review a folded garment, an individual packed unit and an example carton mark before packing the order. For bulky or decorated garments, agree any protective insert or folding method that keeps artwork and trims from rubbing. If a destination has packaging restrictions, share the buyer requirements before materials are ordered.

Reconcile the packing list

Compare packed counts against the approved order matrix before dispatch. Agree which carton photos, label close-ups or count evidence the buyer wants. Confirm the shipment document scope with the supplier and forwarder for the selected programme.
