Packout checklist

Compare dimensions, material grade, adhesive or closure type, compatibility with equipment, and storage requirements.
Confirm materials: stretch film, pallet covers, corner boards, pallet labels.
Keep wrap rolls, top sheets, labels, and a load-height reference at the stretch-wrap area.
For supplier substitution review work, treat palletizing and wrap as a controlled operation: define the package spec, stage the right materials, and inspect the first completed orders before volume scales.
Record the approved package size, finished weight, label position, and exception rule.

QA checks

Run a side-by-side packout test.
Confirm the substitute fits existing storage and replenishment labels.
Document when the substitute is allowed and when it is not.

Station setup

Keep wrap rolls, top sheets, labels, and a load-height reference at the stretch-wrap area.
