Packaging and evidence

CEMB packing and shipment review

Assess the practical trade-offs in packaging and loading with figures from the supplier and consolidator. Record any sustainability requirement as a separate item in the RFQ.

Review path from pack to port

01 · Pack baseline

Record units per inner pack, gross carton mass and outer dimensions.

02 · Alternatives

Compare separation and protection for mixed SKU packing.

03 · Consolidation

Ask the warehouse to validate mixed-container loading against carton and handling limits.

04 · Dispatch

Match lot IDs and carton counts to the packing list before release.

Use measurements from the packing proposal

mm · External carton dimensions

Use the packed length, width and height to assess stack and pallet fit. Confirm stacking limits with the supplier.

kg · Gross weight per carton

Record gross and net weights separately. Verify the declared quantities and weights against the dispatch file.

SKU · Part and lot segregation

Use separate inner-pack labels for similar bore pairs or clip profiles. Ask for the label proof and carton map before combining parts.

Who supplies each record

Supplier

Packing drawing, material details and lot identifiers.

Inspector

Condition, quantities and observations under the agreed instruction.

Consolidator

Pallet map, load plan and dispatch reconciliation.
