New SKU Launch Labels And Documents Playbook

Use this when a product has no approved package spec yet. This playbook is for operations managers introducing a new product into the pack flow.

Packout checklist

  1. Pack three trial orders and record package size, finished weight, filler, closure pattern, and any visible product movement.
  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 new SKU launch 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

  • Approve one primary package and one fallback size.
  • Photograph the accepted packout.
  • Add the package spec to the pick/pack note before the first live batch.

Station setup

Keep printer media, cleaning cards, and a visible label-orientation sample at the label station.
