Packout checklist

  1. Build a sample packout with every item, insert, and protective material for the next cycle.
  2. Confirm materials: carton sealing tape, paper tape, tape dispensers, strapping.
  3. Keep dispensers adjusted, replace dull blades, and post a photo showing the accepted H-seal pattern.
  4. For subscription box 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.
  5. Record the approved package size, finished weight, label position, and exception rule.

QA checks

  • Document the order of operations.
  • Confirm insert placement.
  • Record final weight and dimensions before buying materials.
