Packaging errors are expensive because they affect the product, warehouse, marketplace listing and customs documentation at the same time. Use one approved packaging checklist before mass production.
Product and brand information
- Vector logo file and approved logo position
- Model number, electrical rating and battery information
- Importer or responsible-party information where required
- Country-of-origin and recycling marks where applicable
Retail packaging
- Box dimensions, structure and material
- Product images, color name and key selling points
- Barcode, SKU and marketplace labels
- Manual language and destination-market warnings
- Accessories, inserts and protection method
Master carton and shipment
- Units per carton and gross/net weight
- Carton dimensions and shipping marks
- Battery and handling labels required by the freight route
- Pallet or mixed-SKU requirements
Approval control
Keep one dated artwork version and one responsible approver. Confirm that the product label, manual, retail box, barcode and carton marks use the same model and specification before production release.
