READING NOTES
Decide what the receiver needs
Start with the information required to identify goods without opening every bundle. For multiple mesh sizes, include a readable product description, dimensions and quantity. Add the project or order reference so similarly packaged items from different deliveries do not become mixed during storage.
Assign unique package numbers
Use a bundle, pallet or carton ID that also appears on the packing list. Where a package contains several items, identify its contents clearly. Do not rely on color alone to distinguish specifications, especially when labels may be viewed in poor light or copied into receiving records.
DECISION TABLE
Confirm the parameters against the project
Start with the application, then carry the required checks into the enquiry.Swipe horizontally on mobile to view the full table| Decision area | What to assess | Confirm in the enquiry |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Define the actual application | Environment, function and installation |
| Specification | Confirm product and dimensions | Material, specification, quantity and tolerance |
| Delivery | Align packing and destination | Timing, packing, drawings or photos |
Agree label position and protection
Specify where marks should appear and how they will remain legible through handling and transit. Consider whether the wrapping will be removed before the material reaches the installation area. Essential identification may need to accompany the inner bundle as well as the outer package.
Verify before dispatch
Review a sample label and compare package IDs with the final packing list. For phased projects, include the installation zone or batch where useful. Save the accepted label format with the purchasing documents so later deliveries preserve the same identification method.
