When this service is a good fit
- Internal packing capacity is constrained
- A launch needs several components brought together
- Promotional or retail packs require hand finishing
- Goods need reconfiguration before dispatch

Service questions
Useful answers for
planning the job.
01What can be included in a contract packing brief?+
The brief can cover pack make-up, multi-component kitting, inserts, label application, inspection, case packing and dispatch preparation where suitable.
02Can packing and labelling be completed together?+
Yes. Combining compatible stages into one defined workflow can reduce handovers and give the production team one agreed finished-pack reference.

Connect label approval to the complete pack-out
Define the unit, inner and outer references
A correctly labelled individual product can still be packed into the wrong outer case. Record the identity and quantity expected at every level used by the job, including any assortment or destination-specific outer. Keep the approved artwork reference with the packing recipe rather than treating labelling and case packing as unrelated instructions.
Show which information must remain visible
Photograph the finished unit and the closed outer from the views needed for approval. Identify existing information that must remain visible and the exact area that a replacement label may cover. The customer’s approved content and destination requirements govern the instruction; the packing operation should not invent a regulatory correction.
Check the handover between finishing stages
Agree the point where labelled stock becomes ready for kitting or case packing. Identify held units, unverified labels and partial outers so they cannot be mistaken for released work. If a label or insert revision changes during the run, establish which existing stock it applies to before continuing.
Release the agreed configuration
Use an approved complete pack as well as the individual label reference. Reconcile finished case quantities, partial packs, held stock and unused components against the current instruction. Continue with repacking and reconfiguration or prepare the project brief for a combined finishing job.
