Packout checklist

Check whether the outbound package can be reopened, resealed, relabeled, and handled a second time.
Confirm materials: carton sealing tape, paper tape, tape dispensers, strapping.
Keep dispensers adjusted, replace dull blades, and post a photo showing the accepted H-seal pattern.
For returns-ready package work, treat tape and sealing 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

Include return documents only when needed.
Make the return label path obvious.
Avoid packaging that tears before inspection.

Station setup

Keep dispensers adjusted, replace dull blades, and post a photo showing the accepted H-seal pattern.
