Packout checklist

  1. Estimate packaging burn by day and compare it with on-hand cartons, mailers, labels, tape, and filler.
  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 seasonal volume surge 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 a reorder point for each critical packaging SKU.
  • Pre-stage the top packout combinations.
  • Review substitutions before the surge starts.
