Packout checklist

  1. Fold the item to its stable packed footprint and compare mailer fit, seal clearance, and presentation needs.
  2. Confirm materials: thermal labels, label rolls, packing list envelopes, document pouches.
  3. Keep printer media, cleaning cards, and a visible label-orientation sample at the label station.
  4. For lightweight apparel work, treat labels and documents as a controlled operation: define the package spec, stage the right materials, and inspect the first completed orders before volume scales.
  5. Record the approved package size, finished weight, label position, and exception rule.

QA checks

  • Set size bands by folded footprint.
  • Avoid overstuffed seals.
  • Confirm the return flow if the same mailer is reused.
